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.
