At SALTEX
2017 Sherriff Amenity will be showcasing two new products in the renowned
GoGreen complexed iron range.
Visitors
to the stand (E060) will also be offered the opportunity to sign-up free of
charge to the online Sherriff Academy and find out more about Agrovista’s
latest Scottish acquisition – Terra Firma.
Over
recent years, professionals in the groundscare and amenity industry have turned
to Sherriff Amenity’s GoGreen complexed iron range. Already well known for
delivering outstanding results, the GoGreen range boasts the long-lasting iron
granules (GoGreen Granules) and in liquid form (GoGreen Plus).
GoGreen
Energy and GoGreen Select are the latest products to be added to the unique
range of products.
GoGreen
Energy is a concentrated bio-stimulant, formulated to assist plant health and
relieve stress symptoms in a wide variety of amenity turf situations. It
contains seaweed, plant sugars, simple carbohydrates and trace elements that
have been specially selected to give optimum results when grass is stressed.
The low NPK analysis, complemented by suitable wetting and spreading agents,
makes this an ideal component of any turf maintenance programme.
It uses a
natural plant-based source of sugars and other carbohydrates that does not
require a destructive sterilisation process, such as is mandatory with products
containing hydrocarbons derived from animal materials. It can be used all year
round and is ideal for large amenity areas or as a pre-game stadia application.
GoGreen
Select is a unique complex iron sulphate that may be used as a stand-alone
product for rapid greening of turf or more flexibly, as a tank-mix partner with
fertiliser and herbicide. Unlike ferrous sulphate and chelated iron, that can
react forming precipitate and rendering the spray solution unusable, GoGreen
Select is stable and provides a range of spraying options not normally
associated with the use of iron.
Visitors
to the Sherriff stand will also have the chance to trial the online Sherriff
Amenity Academy in which they can sign-up for free. The online Academy has been
set up to help improve the UK turf amenity sector stewardship of pesticide and
products - keeping the industry up to date with legislation and product
information and promoting best practise for all products.
It
provides a unique platform for education not only on Sherriff’s products but
also on a wide range of areas in turf management. Recognised as the Knowledge
Courses, these modules focus on developing skills and understanding of how to
manage a sports turf surface.
Throughout
the Knowledge Courses, users will gain a greater insight into the methods and
operations of certain subjects such as Turf Disease, Product Application, Seed
and Turf Pests.
It was
recently announced that Sherriff Amenity have joined forces with Terra Firma
(Scotland) Ltd - one of Scotland’s largest specialist suppliers to the amenity
and local authority markets. The purchase allows the two businesses to combine
existing technical expertise and broad product ranges to provide land managers,
local authorities, contractors, groundsmen and greenkeepers in Scotland with a
full agronomy service, research driven advice, new product innovation and
access to an extensive local distribution network.
A number
of representatives from Terra Firma will be on the Sherriff Amenity stand to
explain how this partnership will benefit those based in Scotland. For any
queries or technical advice, members of the Sherriff Amenity team will also be
on hand throughout the two day event.
