Golf Courses Fertilisers

• Fine Turf
• Golf and bowling greens
• Coarser mown turf (such as tees, fairways, pitches and cricket outfields)

Multigreen fertilisers feature a resin coating which has distinct qualities:

It allows moisture in shortly after application and nutrient out once soil temperature rises above  6°C in line with the  requirements of the grass plant.

The thickness of the coating determines the longevity of the application, with products designed  for 5-6 month and  6-7 month release.

These products are available as a Spring/ Summer range and as a Winter/Autumn Range.

How does it work

After application, the granule takes up moisture over a peroid of 7 – 10 days. A small portion of the nitrogen is uncoated for initial release.

Nutrients are released as soon as the soil temperature rises above 6 °C

Release carries on through the growing season according to the Soil temperature, If it drops so does the release rate.

After a minimum of 5 – 7 months , the nutrients are totally released and the granule degrades.

SPRING & SUMMER

HEADLAND MULTIGREEN

A Polymer-resin coated controlled release fertiliser that releases its nutrients according to soil temperature only over a 5 – 7 month period from a single application.

• Nutrient release controlled by temperature only.
• Consistent growth without flushing.
• Resin coating prevents nutrient leaching.
• Controlled release potassium in some formulations. 25Kg Bag.

HEADLAND XTEND

A unique soluble, slow release nitrogen that is safe to apply and lasts for up to 3 months. It can be applied as a granule, or a liquid spray. Each urea prill is treated with 2 soluble chemical coatings, UFLEXX,  which:

• Prevents loss of nitrogen to the atmosphere (volatilisation)
• Slows down nitrogen conversion in the soil
• Nitrogen binds to clay and organic matter particles
• Consistent growth without flushing
• Resistant to leaching
• Response under cool conditions
• Available as slow release granule, as a freely dissolving soluble, or as a liquid.
• Tank mixable with some selective herbicides, for a low cost “weed & feed” application

H-Cote Mini

Mini granular controlled release fertiliser that releases its nutrients over a 3 – 4 month period from a single application.

• High % of controlled release nitrogen in all formulations.
• Mini granular SGN 150 allows low application rates down to 15g/sq m.
• Dual coating technology protects nutrient core & allows consistent release.
• Excellent turf safety, sustained growth, minimal flushing. 25Kg Bag.

This term refers to the more traditional chemical fertilisers which release nutrient fairly quickly, though there would be variations depending on soil temperature with nitrate and ammoniacal forms of nitrogen giving better response at lower soil temperatures than urea.

They are available as blends (where straight forms of various nutrients are mixed in a bag) or as homogenous granules (all the nutrients are contained in each and every granule) which provides a more even and consistent turf.

Granule size and ease of breakdown are important considerations as well as risk of scorch when choosing a conventional fertiliser.

SPRING AND SUMMER CONVENTIONALS – FINE TURF

HEADLAND GREENTEC

A range of homogenous fine granulated fertilisers suitable for greens and other low cut areas. Combinations of up to 4 different nitrogen sources are used. This means greentec responds well over a wide range of conditions, even during periods of low soil temperature. Rapid granule breakdown minimises pick up.

AUTUMN, WINTER AND SPRING START-UP CONVENTIONALS – FINE TURF

HEADLAND GREENTEC

A range of homogenous fine granulated fertilisers. Combinations of up to 4 different nitrogen sources are used. This means greentec responds well over a wide range of conditions, even during periods of low soil temperature. Rapid granule breakdown minimises pick-up.

SOIL AMENDMENTS

SPECIALITY FERTILISERS

• These are water soluble powders which are dissolved and sprayed onto turf.
• They are immediately available to the plant, by both foliar and root uptake, but usually need to be applied in larger volumes of water than liquids
• They are cost effective for treating large areas, but don’t last very long on sand based rootzones
• Trace elements are usually available in this form.

Fertimixer

Petrol driven mixer for mixing and storing soluble fertilisers.

• 1350 litre capacity.
• Mix rate of 600lt/min.
• Will mix large quantity of soluble fertiliser at one time.
• Can be used as a store for mixes rather than leaving in sprayer overnight.
• Pump can also be used to pump out any flooded areas on golf course.
• All connections on quick release cam lock system.
• Can be stationary or mobile on a trailer.
• Health and safety compliant.
• Developed because of demand from greenkeepers to find an easier solution to mix solubles.
• Huge time and labour saving which is all important when there are weather or traffic time constraints.
• Will allow more specific fertiliser mixes.
• Will save money versus buying low concentrate liquid fertilisers.
• Will save on transport and packaging.
• Irish made.

• Immediately available forms
• Slow Release liquids

• Immediately available forms, are used in the spring more often and are useful for applying small quantities of nutrients in an even manner without the speckling which could be a problem with granular fertilisers at low rates.
• Slow release liquids have a low scorch risk and are very safe for summer use

In calculating nutrient input from liquid fertilisers it is important to know the specific gravity of the product in question……..All liquids are not the same, don’t just go by the analysis on the drum!

SLOW RELEASE LIQUID FERTILISERS

HEADLAND’S range of slow release fertilisers contain athe unique slow release nitrogen source which slowly breaks down and releases nitrogen over a 6-8 week period, depending on the properties of the rootzone and rate applied. Some immediate release nitrogen is added to the formulations to give rapid colour response.

• Lowest scorch risk of any liquid fertiliser on the market.
• Does not require watering in after application.
• Low water volumes required for application.
• Produces less grass clippings than standard liquid fertilisers.
• Wide tank mix compatibility.
