Crystal Green will
feature heavily on the Headland Amenity stand at SALTEX 2018.
A source of slow-release phosphorus, nitrogen and
magnesium recovered from nutrient-rich UK waste water, Crystal Green makes
for an eco-friendly fertiliser that enhances nutrient efficiency -
perfect for easily-leachable, sand-dominated rootzones.
Most
phosphorus fertilisers are highly water soluble and rapidly react in the soil
becoming unavailable for plant uptake. As turfgrass grows it produces organic
acids, such as citrates, to help roots absorb nutrients.
The
nutrients in Crystal Green are citrate-soluble, releasing slowly in
response to organic acid production, gradually supplying the soil solution to
meet plant demand. This process minimises excess phosphorus in the soil,
lowering the risk of leaching and runoff while providing the turf a season-long
supply of phosphorus according to the plant’s requirements.
Crystal
Green granules are uncoated, 99.9% pure, dust-free, and maintain their
slow-release capabilities even if cracked or broken.
Whilst
the original Crystal Green 5-28-10 formulation is suitable to aid establishment
and to maintain Phosphorus availability in free draining soils, it is also a
perfect slow-release partner in fertiliser blends. It features in Headland’s
Xtend 10-10-10+2MgO slow-release renovation/recovery fertiliser, which also
includes a composted organic base, seaweed meal and humic acid.
The
finished product works as a pre-seeder and establishment fertiliser with both
slow-release N and P, perfect for use on winter sports pitches, cricket
outfields and racecourse turf, as well as golf tees, fairways and surrounds.
The
Headland team will also be on hand to discuss their full range of innovative
turf nutrition, health and management products in their new stand location,
H050.
