NOT THE WEEDS Improved overseeding results, guaranteed! (30% more plants, 30% longer roots) Targeted nutrient application (Feeding the seed, not the weeds) Better wear tolerance Reduced Poa annua levels Environmentally friendly (reduced losses of fertiliser to the environment) Labour saving and cost effective Feed per seed iseed is a nutrient seed coating that consists of seeds and coating materials. The coating consists of a combination of fast acting and slow release fertilisers. Per 100 kgs of bare seeds, 20kg N and 4 kg P are applied to a field. This means that in the case of Agrostis where we are sowing at low seeding rates and all the problems that entails, we now have a ready made solution for sowing at easier rates. As the fertiliser is coated onto the seeds, the germinating and developing seedling receives the benefit, not the surrounding plants. This is particularly important when overseeding into a competitive sward. will not. The nitrogen and phosphate in iseed are up to four times more efficient compared to broadcast applied ordinary fertilisers. Effectively the amounts applied in the above example would then become 80kgs of N and 16kgs of P per hectare. Johnsons Sports Seed All Johnsons mixes are both TurfGuard and Growmax treated. TurfGuard Increased germination and establishment TurfGuard is a specific strain of the soil bacteria Bacillus subtilis, which is commonly found in the soil, on roots and on leaves. Applied to grass seed its spores germinate and rapidly colonise the root system of the new plant. This provides a barrier to soil pathogens while producing beneficial growth hormones that assist the grass plant in numerous ways. GroMax Turf Grass Seed Treatment GroMax is a unique and effective new seed treatment which stimulates the soil s micro-flora, resulting in improved root growth and turf establishment, stress tolerance, and enhanced water and nutrient uptake in grasses. 30
