While maintaining strong, healthy turf with a consistent fertility schedule has a direct impact on playability and overall satisfaction, it also has an impact on mowing requirements. In many situations - labor constraints, minimizing disruption, reducing equipment wear and tear - keeping up with that mowing is difficult, if not impossible.
Utilizing fertilizers with slow or controlled-release nitrogen sources helps to achieve high turfgrass quality while avoiding overgrowth.
27-3-11 with Extend and NS-54®
Featuring 48% Extend polymer-coated slow-release nitrogen and 48% NS-54 polymer and sulfur-coated slow-release nitrogen, our 27-3-11 fertilizer provides extended feeding without excessive growth. Pairing these two nitrogen sources allows you to apply up to 1.5 pounds of nitrogen per 1000 square feet in a single application, with a release curve extending to 16 weeks.
25-3-10 with NS-54®
Our 25-3-10 fertilizer contains 95% NS-54 polymer and sulfur-coated slow-release nitrogen. This product can be applied up to 1.25 pounds of nitrogen per 1000 square feet, and provides a release curve of 6-8 weeks.
40-0-0 PCHCU®
Another extended-release fertilizer option is Polymer-Coated Humic-Coated Urea (PCHCU®), a 40-0-0 nitrogen source featuring our patented CarbonCoat™ Technology. PCHCU offers a release profile of up to 70 days and provides the benefits of humic acid, promoting root growth and increasing nitrogen efficiency.
