Fine Turf

Product solutions for fine turf surfaces

Basic information

The challenge of golf turf maintenance and fertilisation is complex due to the multiple requirements; different turf types, different turf uses, i.e. green, tee and fairway and the increased expectations of golfers. The concept of sustainability and the environmental considerations are also a high priority in the mind of Turf Managers along with budgetary requirements. The main focus of modern fertilisation is consistent growth, stress tolerance, good root development and ultimately quality turf. Environmental considerations now are fore front with legislation requiring limits on leaching and volatilisation and COMPO EXPERT's technologies aid Turf Managers to be efficient and responsible when buying nutrient products.

Important instructions for use: If several products are mixed while using our product, unforeseen reciprocal effects may occur. It is not possible to foresee all conditions that can occur in practice (e.g. temperature, kind of water, crop protection agents). Therefore, it is highly recommended to test the compatibility and the application of the intended products on a small scale first. We disclaim any responsibilities for damages which may ensue from interactions based on mixtures – especially – with other products, crop protection agents, plant protection products or fertilizers and/or from unusual conditions (temperature, kind of water, etc.).

Detailed Description

A golf course consists of different elements and turf species with specific demands which require different greenkeeping concepts. Greens and tees are the areas with the most intensive wear. They are maintained on a deep cutting height on a sand based (FLL/USGA) soil construction and need fine granulated fertiliser with a high solubility and efficiency (e.g. SRF range of Floranid^® ^Twin Eagle products). As a supplement, mainly during the summer weeks with decreasing root systems, liquid formulations are also needed. Products from the Vitanica^® line are well suited to be integrated into a modern and effective fertilisation strategy. Depending on the goal, these seaweed extract based products have special features and formulas to cover different requirements, such as biotic and abiotic stress management, root promoting and tournament preparation. Fairways and semi roughs are maintained and fertilised on a lower level. Moderate mowing heights allow the use of bigger granules. An intensive spring fertilisation is important to overcome the winter damages. Additional applications in early summer and autumn with adapted formulations (balanced formula and potassium dominant formula) are recommended. Slow-release fertilisers, like Basatop^® Fair, Floranid^® ^Twin Permanent or Enforce^®, ensure a nutrient supply over a long period. The mineral fertilizers from the NovaTec^® line can be used as a green up application in early spring or when a quick turf response is needed.
