Fertiliser for your lawn

-Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K) are essential macronutrients for healthy lawn growth. These nutrients are commonly referred to as NPK

-Nitrogen (N) is essential for lawn growth and green colour. It promotes vigorous shoot and leaf growth, and helps maintain a healthy root system.

-Phosphorus (P) is critical for root development, stress tolerance, and seedling establishment in lawn. It also aids in photosynthesis and energy transfer within the plant.

-Potassium (K) plays a key role in regulating water balance, stress tolerance, and disease resistance in lawn. It promotes strong root growth, enhances winter hardiness, and helps maintain overall turf vigor.

Why your Turf needs Nitrogen

– Largely responsible for leaf growth

– Also plays a role in turf grass growth including stolons (above ground runners), rhizomes (underground runners) and roots

– Comes in the following forms: Ammonium, Controlled Release (Synthetic), Nitrate and Urea

– Nitrogen helps with the formation of proteins that the cells within the grass needs to grow

– Without nitrogen, lawns can suffer stunted growth and yellowing

Why your Turf needs Phosphorus

– Primary Plant Nutrient that is involved in the metabolic process responsible for transferring energy throughout the plant

– Crucial when first establishing turf grass and remains important as the grass grows

– Helps grow lush and thick because it promotes strong growth root, allows plant to grow more efficiently

Why your Turf needs Potassium

– Improves stress tolerance: Potassium helps lawns withstand environmental stresses, such as drought, extreme temperatures, and disease. It strengthens the plant’s cell walls, making it more resistant to damage.

– Enhances root growth: Potassium is essential for root development, and a healthy root system is crucial for the overall health of your lawn. A strong root system helps the lawn absorb water and nutrients more efficiently.

– Promotes disease resistance: Potassium helps lawns resist fungal diseases and other pathogens that can damage the plant. It also helps the lawn recover more quickly from stress-related damage.

– Enhances overall plant health: Potassium plays a vital role in many of the lawn’s metabolic processes, including photosynthesis, protein synthesis, and water use.

Humic and Fulvic Acids

Humic acid and fulvic acid are both organic acids that are formed from the breakdown of organic matter. They are commonly found in soils and are known to have beneficial effects on turf health.

1) Chelating or binding to nutrients, making them more available to plants

2) Stimulating plant growth and development

3) Enhancing root development and function

4) Improving soil structure and water-holding capacity

5) Enhancing nutrient uptake and utilization
