New
organic, chemical-free biochar products and an upgraded award-winning turf
management app will be showcased on the Sherriff Amenity stand (E060) at SALTEX
2019.
On the
first day of SALTEX 2018, Sherriff Amenity’s ground-breaking new app,
PrecisionPro, was announced as the winner of the second, annual SALTEX
Innovation Award. In the past year the unique app has been praised far and wide
by turf managers.
PrecisionPro
allows turf managers to have an accurate measured area by simply opening the
app and walking the perimeter of the area. Calibrating spreaders has always
been a difficult task but with the Calibrate feature in the PrecisionPro app,
users are guided through each step of the process. Furthermore, its advanced
GPS functionality informs the user when to start and stop the calibration
process.
The app
also features a function to ensure that every operator walks at the same speed
– if someone is walking too fast or too slow then they are alerted by colour
coded screens. As well as calculating the g/m2 and the operator’s walking
speed, the Apply feature ultimately ensures that the exact amount of nutrition
is being applied to the turf.
Now,
PrecisionPro is returning to SALTEX 2019 with some beneficial updates including
a new mapping function, a rain shroud and an updated user interface.
Furthermore, one lucky visitor to the Sherriff Amenity stand will get the
opportunity to walk away with the brand new app.
Sherriff
Amenity is the exclusive UK distributor of Carbon Gold’s Enriched Biochar Turf
Improver, and the two companies will be joining forces at SALTEX 2019. Carbon
Gold’s aim is to increase soil fertility and improve turf health through the
use of biochar-based products and visitors to the stand will be able to find
out more about these exceptional offerings including the all-new Biochar Raw
and Biology Blend.
Enriched
Biochar Turf Improver is a highly porous, high carbon form of charcoal used to
improve soil nutrition, growing conditions and turf health. It is made from
untreated waste woody biomass that has been charred at a low temperature with a
restricted supply of oxygen, a process called pyrolysis.
Carbon
Gold’s Turf Improver enriches biochar with optimum levels of beneficial fungi,
bacteria and trace minerals for optimum soil and sward health. Where prevention
rather than cure is key, adding enriched biochar to soil provides the
foundation on which to build resilient, attractive, playable turf, as recent
sports turf trials have shown.
The new
Biochar Raw is recalcitrant and porous, making it a permanent refuge for
beneficial microbiology. Biochar Raw is applied in lower rates over several
seasons which will build the carbon up in levels adding the biology separately
at optimal times with the new Biology Blend.
Throughout
the two-day event representatives from both Sherriff Amenity and Carbon Gold
will be available to discuss and assist with any turf related queries you may
have.
