What is it and how it works
Turfite is a new liquid formulation utilising
phosphite technology for the first time in
the UK and Irish turf markets.
• Aids stress and disease resistance.
• Helps plant strength and hardiness.
• Promotes stronger root development
Phosphite (as opposed to phosphate) is a form of phosphorus that has some unique properties when applied as a fertiliser.
It is extremely mobile within the plant and, once absorbed, undergoes an oxidation process that provides a continual release of soluble phosphorus.
Secondly, phosphite, unlike phosphate, does not react with calcium in high pH, alkaline rootzone situations, to be rendered unavailable to the grass plant. Lastly and most importantly, phosphite
triggers the plant’s own immune system,
providing benefits of stress resistance and
improved overall plant health, particularly
during periods of high disease pressure.
How to use it
Turfite can be used in a tank mix combination with Solufeed Hi-K and / or Seamac Proturf to provide a perfect low temperature tonic for the Autumn /
Winter and Spring.
In addition, the readily available form of phosphorus in Turfite is ideally suited for use in over-seeding situations and after aeration to stimulate new root development.
Turfite is tank mix compatible with most Headland liquid products and many turf fungicides.
