“
Having used Premier-HG fertilizer for a number of
years on the course I can honestly say the product
is superb. We apply 12.3.24 at the start of every season
to our tees, approaches and green surrounds and I find
it gets us in great shape for the season. It gives fantastic
colour and also keeps growth at a steady pace rather
than it having a huge whoosh effect. I would certainly
recommend Premier-HG to my fellow course managers.
For the large overseeding program on our fairways and
semi roughs, we have used the R5 blend and achieved
great results with thickening up the sward.

controlled release fertilizers
PolyPro Range
NEW
TO THE RANGE
Recommended areas
WHY Polypro fertilizers
❚ Superior coating technology for N & K
❚ Durable and uniform polymer membrane
❚ Releases nutrients via temperature-controlled diffusion
❚ Nutrient release not affected by moisture
❚ Consistent, predictable and gradual release
❚ Conventional release fraction for initial response
❚ Reduced leaching and volatilisation of Nitrogen
❚ Flexible application rates
The new range of fertilizers has been formulated to include two forms of
controlled release nitrogen. Both Polymer Coated Urea (PCU), and
Polymer Coated Sulphur Coated Urea (PCSCU) have been used, to give
the ultimate in controlled release for season long nutrition. There is also
PCSOP (Polymer Coated Sulphate of Potassium) added for a controlled
release of K. The formulation also includes an homogenous granule
containing NPK, which will give conventional release over the first few
weeks. The PCSCU will release over 8-10 weeks, and the PCU will release
over the complete life of the fertilizer.

PCSCU
This new generation of polymer-coated, sulphur-coated urea (PCSCU)
fertilizers consist of a polymer layer inside the protective surface layer. Lesser
PCSCUs have a polymer or conditioner on the outside of the Sulphur. The
outer sulphur and wax layers work together to protect the inner polymer
coating during the various stages of processing. The polymer layer inside
delivers a consistent nutrient release, when the plant needs it, once the
outer sulphur and wax layers absorb water. Other PCSCUs often suffer from
nutrient "lock-off" because the sulphur coating is too thick to allow Nitrogen
to release in the expected time frame.
PCSOP
Within a week of application,
the polymer coating allows soil
moisture in, which activates
encapsulated nutients but
doesn’t release them.
Over the next several months,
the membrane slowly releases
dissolved nutrients through
diffusion, only when triggered
by soil temperature.
Polymer-coated sulphate of potassium – a new controlled release
technology that delivers a more uniform and predictable release of nutrient
for a period of up to 90 days.
After complete release of
nutrients, the polymer coating
microbially decomposes into
naturally occurring soil
elements.

benefits as compared to lesser PCSCU’s which have a polymer or

The outer sulphur and wax layers work together to protect the inner

sulphur and wax layers absorb moisture, the inside polymer layer delivers
a consistent nutrient release at a time required by the plant. Other

The patented Methylene Urea (MU) in Premier HG
promotes strong root growth and a balanced,
healthier sward development. It also encourages
microbial activity in the soil and improves the
natural fertility of the soil, increasing and sustaining
the population of beneficial organisms because it is
a source of organic carbon and nitrogen.
The MU also has a low salt index, meaning a very
low scorch potential.
0800 424919 8

Premier-HG fertilizers are all homogenous mini-granules. Every
granule contains the same amount of nutrients which ensures even
growth and cover. The granules break down very quickly so
nutrients are available to the grass soon after application and
there is reduced risk of scorch or mower pick-up.
There is more than one source of Nitrogen in Premier-HG fertilizers.
Some provide an initial response immediately available to the
plant, whilst other sources provide the Nitrogen over different time
periods, so giving a multi-phased release over an approximate 6
month period.
Controlled Release Nitrogen Premier-HG fertilizers not only contain
conventional release Nitrogen to give an initial response, but also
slow release Nitrogen in the form of patented Methylene Urea.
Slow Release Potassium As well as containing Potassium that
provides a rapid availability, some is also complexed with Carbon
to provide a slow release form, as well as having a bio-stimulation
effect due to the organic component.
Trace Elements Premier-HG contains a comprehensive trace
element package (Bo, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Zn) to help achieve a
healthy and strong sward.
In Premier-HG there is a free Urea fraction but in addition three fractions
of Methylene Urea with differing chain lengths:
Urea fraction - very soluble and available to the turf in a matter of days.
Fraction 1 – CWSN (cold water soluble Nitrogen) containing un-reacted
Urea and short chain Methylene Urea polymers, with the Nitrogen
being available over a period of weeks.
Fraction 2 – HWSN (hot water soluble Nitrogen) consisting of medium
chain length polymers released more slowly over 2-3 months.
Fraction 3 – HWIN (hot water insoluble Nitrogen) containing longer
chain polymers where the Nitrogen is released over 4-6 months or even
longer depending on temperature and microbial activity.

Proven Technology
High performing, homogenous micro-granules combine the benefits of
controlled release Methylene Urea with conventional forms of Nitrogen.
Conventional release Nitrogen for initial response
Conventional release Nitrogen for mid-term response
Short length polymer chain for slow release longevity
Sustained performance is achieved from an initial nutrient release
response followed by a consistent balanced release for up to 12
weeks. These release patterns are achieved through the use of shortlength
Methylene Urea polymer chains, specially designed to achieve
the desired performance.
The patented Methylene Urea used promotes strong root growth, a
balanced, healthier sward with a very low salt index that reduces the
potential for scorch.
The Activity Index (AI) of the Methylene Urea used is over 55%,
providing the ideal slow release characteristics of consistency and
reliability.
Methylene Urea release is triggered by temperature and microbial
activity, thereby matching the demands of the plant at the time and
growth stage required.

The selection of the organic and mineral raw materials is
extremely meticulous. Only the highest quality, organic raw
materials are used and are fully traceable.
Organic fertilizers also provide required trace elements,
micronutrients, and primary biostimulant sources, i.e. humic
substances, amino acids and enzymes.
*All organic fertilizers should be irrigated in well, and the surface
should be mown without boxes for a few days if possible as
organic granules take longer to disperse than mineral granules.
Many greenkeepers and horticulturists have always preferred to include
organic fertilizers in their feeding programmes as they have the
advantage of not only providing essential nutrients, but also helping to
increase microbial activity. Such products also release their nutrients
slowly so providing gradual and sustained growth.
The modern compounding technique of Microfine Organic produces a
genuine homogeneous granule of premium quality, so overcoming
many of the problems associated with more traditional organic fertilizer
formulations.
The granules are of a small size (1-2mm), very low in odour, and break
down quickly when in contact with irrigation or rainfall, so preventing any
risk of scorch and virtually eliminating mower pick-up.
The organically bound nutrients are released through the activity of soil
microbes, ensuring a gradual release of the nutrients over several
months. The breakdown not only releases traditional nutrients, but also
organic matter to enhance micro-organism activity.

High performing super micro-granule
for quality turf nutrition
The finest, most consistent granule ever produced by Rigby
Taylor. As fully compounded granules, each contains all the
nutrients and elements of the analysis. Its high uniformity index
provides excellent flowability, exceptional accuracy and a wide
range of application rates. The granule is extremely robust but
breaks down very rapidly following application.
A complete trace element package with fully chelated micronutrients
provides maximum plant uptake in both ERD and XL. A
soil penetrant is also included to ensure all essential ingredients
are transported to the rootzone for maximum uptake.
Activate technology
Activate ERD contains humic acid that improves root
depth by more than 30%, root mass by 20% and
enhanced nutrient retention. ERD will also increase plant
health, seed germination and establishment.
Activate XL contains simple sugars that increase microbial
activity and summer stress tolerance. The carbohydrates
content provides an immediate energy source to give a
healthier, stronger sward.
A cellulytic enzyme aids the reduction of thatch.
The plant growth hormones contained in Activate XL are
cold water extracted and, together with the betaines,
give the plant added vigour as well as extra root growth.

Zeolite
Clinoptilolite (Zeolite) is a naturally
occurring mineral incorporated in the
Microlite range. It has a natural affinity to
Nitrogen and Potassium and these nutrients
are absorbed into the Clinoptilolite grid and
then released as and when demanded by
the plant. Clinoptilolite will also hold up to
55% of it’s weight in moisture, which is
released as the plant demands.

“
We have had huge success with our
use of Microlite fertilizer. All our tees
were treated and we noticed how
consistent in size were the micro granules
which enable us to achieve excellent
spreading consistency. Following watering
in, the turf started to colour up within hours
of application and the evenness of growth
habit has been excellent. I can say that it
is one of the best granular fertilizers I have
used and, I will be repeating applications
again in 2014.

sources which helps Apex perform in a controlled manner.
The organic components plus the mineral elements give a modified
Nitrogen release making it particularly suitable for fine turf areas. Their
organic bases also provide small amounts of micro-nutrients including Boron,
Copper, Magnesium, Manganese, Iron and Zinc, all of which are essential
for healthy plant growth. The latter in particular is known to be extremely

Polyhalite
The Apex range also contains
Polyhalite, a naturally occurring source
of Potassium, Magnesium and Calcium.
The Potassium is released more slowly
than some other sources, giving greater
longevity. Magnesium aids the
chlorophyll production and therefore
improves the photosynthesis of the
plant. Calcium helps to strengthen cell
walls, making the plant less susceptible
to disease.
Lignite
Lignite is used in the formulation
to improve the Cation
Exchange Capacity (CEC),
therefore reducing the leaching
of nutrients and improving the
efficacy of the fertilizer. Lignite,
in conjunction with Potassium,
will also provide a good source
of Humic Acid to encourage
root development and stimulate
microbial soil activity.

speciality mini-granular fertilizers

Recommended areas
WHY Duragran fertilizer
❚ 1-2.5 mm granule size
❚ Contains DIDIN for phased nitrogen release
❚ Provides dependable nutrient release
❚ Provides a 8-12 week release pattern
Duragran
Duragran is specially formulated to use Dicyandiamide
(DCD) technology which is a nitrification inhibitor that stops
the activity of Nitrosomonas. By keeping the Nitrogen in
ammonium form for longer, before it converts into Nitrite and
then Nitrate, there is less chance of leaching. DCD is broken
down by micro-organisms, and the inhibition of the
nitrification gives the fertilizer an 8-12 week release pattern.
All Nitrogen sources solubilise quickly, so there is no pick up.

exchange for this energy supply the mycorrhizal fungi provides the
plant with a supply of Nitrate and Phosphate.
Micro-nutrients (trace elements)
A range of important micro-nutrients are available, including Copper,

Advanced penetrants
in Microflow-CXS allow
the nutrients and
biostimulants to move

Humates
Humates in Microflow-CXS are derived from
Leonardite, a very bioactive form of Humic Acid.
This is a highly compressed, natural organic humus
that has been further decomposed by microbial
organisms. It provides many benefits resulting in
improved plant health and growth.
When applying in relatively low water volumes, a high
percentage of the nutrient remains on the leaf tissue. This
is enhanced by the surfactant delivery system in
Microflow-CXS, which aids absorption in through the leaf.
When higher water volumes are used, the majority of
nutrients pass in to the rootzone. This is enhanced by the
advanced surfactant technology included in Microflow-
CXS, that helps the nutrients penetrate the rootzone, for
rapid uptake by the plant roots.
Microflow-CXS
is then quickly
taken up by
the plant roots

Microsol is a superior range of water
soluble fertilizers that has been introduced
for year round use on all turf surfaces.
The specially formulated range contains
a unique, rapid-solubilising Magnesium.
Each analysis contains chelated trace
elements and high quality N, P, K for
optimum nutrient input flexibility.
An important element to Microsol fertilizers is the choice
of analyses for either hard or soft water areas. Such an option
will allow improved optimization of their use and maximize
application efficacy.
Throughout the UK the water supply will contain different levels
of Calcium and Bicarbonate. The degree of water hardness has
in the past been a key factor in ‘when-and-where’ soluble
fertilizers can be used, as it can reduce total solubility potential.
Rigby Taylor’s Microsol range has options across the range of
analyses, suitable for both hard and soft water areas.
Water hardness comes from naturally occurring Calcium and
Magnesium salts, and the harder the water, the more of these
salts it will contain. The map graphic to the right shows the hard
and soft water areas in the British Isles.

Recommended Nutrient Feeding
programmes
Our range of fertilizer analyses is designed to meet the high demands
placed on all types of grass playing surfaces. Their constituents are
formulated to encourage quick establishment and healthy, tight,
dense swards when used in combination with good greenkeeping
and ground maintenance practices.
Construction techniques and growing media have changed
dramatically over the last few years, due to the exacting demands
placed on sports areas. Sand or sandy sandy root zones are replacing
the more traditional soil root zones in order to maintain high quality
playing surfaces and allow use throughout most of the year. With
these root zone changes have come more specialist grasses which
withstand higher levels of wear, establish swards quicker and provide
a good overall appearence.
As these root zones drain very quickly and do not retain nutrient, it is
important to monitor levels regularly to ensure sufficient nutrition is
available throughout the 12-month period by implementing a
balanced programme.

➟
➟
➟
How Defender works
Defender is a strobilurin based fungicide that displays both
protective and some curative activity against Fusarium
Patch and Red Thread. It has a mesostemic mode of
action, offering multiple benefits in terms of its distribution
around the plant:
Protects new growth: Though not transported within the
xylem of the plant it still has local penetrant movement.
Long lasting control: It is strongly attracted to lipids and so
binds more easily to the cuticle and waxy layer of the
plant leaf, so providing good rainfast properties.
Excellent coverage: Can move by both vapour activity
and surface moisture, so is re-distributed around the
application point and also away from it.
Translaminar properties: Can move across the leaf blade
giving disease control on the opposite side of the leaf from
where it has been applied.
How to use Defender
Apply Defender as a preventative treatment at the first
sign of disease. If grass is being mown it should be applied
after cutting, and further mowing should not take place
until at least 48 hours after treatment.
Do not apply more than two applications of Defender per
year. Do not apply sequential applications of the
fungicide. Alternate with a fungicide having a different
mode of action.

Anthracnose
Rust
➟
➟
As part of the overall integrated disease
management programme it may well be
necessary on occasion to apply a
fungicide within the regime.
Fusion is a dual action fungicide
containing both trifloxystrobin and
tebuconazole. Trifloxystrobin belongs to the
strobilurin class of chemistry and inhibits
cellular respiration, whilst tebuconazole is a
sterol biosynthesis inhibitor. Consequently,
the product offers both protective and
some curative activity.
The fungicide has very good rainfast
properties, provides long-lasting control
and can be used all year round, even at
very low temperatures providing the
weather conditions are appropriate.
Fusion can be used when grass is either
dormant or actively growing, ideally
applied preventatively or when disease
symptoms first appear. If grass is being
mown, Fusion should be applied after
cutting and further mowing should not
take place until at least 48 hours after
treatment.
Alternate with a fungicide having a
different mode of action.

Eland is a 3rd generation strobilurin turf fungicide and should be
used as part of a resistance management strategy with other
fungicides that have a different mode of action, together with
cultural and general maintenance practices. Although two
consecutive applications can be made, it is advisable to alternate
with a fungicide having a different mode of action.

RAINFAST
How Eland works
The systemic properties of this exciting molecule allow
Eland to move through the leaf and control disease both
on its upper and on its lower surface. This unique activity
protects both sides of the leaf within minutes of application.
Eland offers
dual-sided leaf protection
The spray deposit serves as a constant fungicide reservoir,
releasing active ingredient to provide long-term
protection….even when mowed off. Eland is especially
suited to being applied as a preventative treatment,
especially at times when turf disease pressure is high. It can
also restrain mycelial growth and thereby provide
additional curative activity.
Improved sward appearance Treatments of Eland
stimulate an increase in the plants capacity to convert
nitrite to nitrate which improves the plants use of Nitrogen,
resulting in the turf exhibiting an enhanced green colour. A
further effect is a decrease in the release of ethylene,
which leads to higher stress tolerance for the plant and is a
major benefit during periods of drought.

MASALON* TURF FUNGICIDE gives very effective control of
Fusarium Patch whilst being totally safe to all key turfgrass
species and to soil bacteria. The application rate of Masalon
also makes it a truly cost effective choice. As an emulsion in
water formulation Masalon has a low concentration of active
ingredient but at the same time has a very high level of control.
As Masalon cannot be washed off, it remains effective at
controlling Fusarium Patch for at least 4 weeks.
How to use Masalon
Masalon Turf Fungicide can be used at any time of the year.
Apply at first signs of disease symptoms when weather
conditions are favourable. For best results apply when turf is
actively growing outside of a frost period.
A second spray may be required after 4 weeks if weather
conditions favour further disease development. Masalon may
be applied to newly sown turf at or after the 2-leaf growth
stage. To optimize translocation and fungicidal activity it is
recommended not to mow the turf for 1 day before and after
an application of Masalon.

How Rayzor works
Fungicides can be generally classified into specific
groups, each having different modes of action. Some are
multi-site, some are single-site inhibitors with varying
effects on the metabolic process of the pathogen.
Contact fungicides such as Rayzor can be applied
throughout the year, though best results are achieved in
the autumn-spring period when growth is at its slowest.
Mowing after application however, will tend to remove
the active ingredient and new growth will not be
protected.
How to use Rayzor
Rayzor specifically controls Fusarium Patch
(Microdochium nivale) and Red Thread (Laetisaria
fuciformis). It can be applied only to golf greens, golf
tees, and for patch treatment of up to 5% of fairways.
Rayzor can be used all year round to golf courses but
ideally should be applied between autumn and spring
when grass growth is at its slowest.
Curative: Apply at first sign of disease and repeat as
necessary at intervals of 1 month or greater. Maximum
number of treatments: 4 per year.

How Junction works
JUNCTION* TURF HERBICIDE uses the power of florasulam to
reduce the overall amount of active ingredient applied as
required by the Sustainable Use Directive (SUD). This not
only minimises the active loading on the environment, but
also reduces the amount of product needed to be carried
to a job. The florasulam is combined with a low rate of 2,4-

Junction has been cleverly formulated as a suspo-emulsion
in water, allowing it to be applied in 100 litres water per
hectare. This markedly reduces the time needed to
complete a spray operation. Junction can be applied after
only 2 months to spring or summer sown turf. In addition,
reseeding can be carried out just 4 weeks after application.
Both systemic active ingredients enter primarily through the
foliage and are readily
translocated, moving to all
growing points of the weeds.

WHY Maintain
❚ Improved sward density
❚ Reduced mowing frequency
❚ Increased root mass
❚ Improved turf colour and strength
❚ Enhanced resistance to stress
Maintain can be used in difficult and hazardous to mow areas
such as banks, over-raised tree roots and around the trees
themselves. Applying Maintain in such areas will reduce the
number of cuts required per year and therefore the number of
visits to such difficult to mow areas will be reduced. Maintain can
be tank mixed with suitable micronutrients to create season-long
performance.
Maintain is a management tool designed to allow a more flexible use
of available labour and better deployment of limited resources. Such
flexibility also applies in the reduction of fuel costs and machinery
wear and, most importantly, produces superb turf .
The action of Maintain redirects grass growth by specifically targeting
the gibberellic acid site responsible for cell elongation.
Such action not only inhibits vertical growth but diverts it downwards
into the root system where it helps to produce and increase food
reserves and lateral stem development. The result is the production of
a thicker, healthier sward that allows turf to better withstand stress
caused by temperature extremes, moisture loss, traffic and wear. An
added benefit is that helps in the management of Poa annua.
Add Trailblazer to the spray tank to ensure even application and

How Chikara ® works
Chikara is a systemic pre-emergent
and early post-emergent herbicide
for the control of annual and
perennial weeds on natural
surfaces not intended to bear
vegetation, and permeable
surfaces over-lying soil.
Chikara is absorbed by shoots and
roots and translocated through the
xylem and phloem to the
meristematic zone where it inhibits
acetolactate synthase (a key
enzyme involved in amino-acid
synthesis), resulting in plant death.
Many affected weed seedlings will
not emerge above soil level. Those
that do will exhibit yellowing or
reddening of the leaves and become
necrotic and die shortly thereafter.
Chikara has a broad spectrum of
herbicidal activity with control lasting
up to 5 months against broad-leaved
and grass weeds. Where weeds are
established/emerged at the time of
application always tank mix Chikara
with an appropriate dose of an
approved glyphosate formulation.
How to use Chikara
➟
➟
➟
Controls
problem
weeds for
up to 5
months
Chikara may be used for weed control in non-crop areas, in open soil,
or in certain circumstances against weeds growing in gravel or other
porous surfaces.
Areas of use include Fence lines ✱ Strips of land adjacent to
timber yards ✱ Around buildings ✱ Industrial sites ✱ Oil and gas
storage sites ✱ Power stations ✱ Electric sub-station ✱ Beneath
pylons ✱ Park obstacles and furniture.
Due to the potential for run-off into surface waters Chikara must not
be used on non-porous man-made surfaces, e.g. paved areas,
concrete, tarmac car parks and footpaths. Chikara must not be used
in or around amenity vegetation.
For best results apply Chikara in early spring before weeds
germinate. If weeds are present, tank mix with a glyphosatebased
herbicide when the weeds are small and actively growing.
Do not apply more than one application of Chikara per year.
➟
0800 424919 54

Cost-effective weed control
When comparing the costs associated with multiple visits for
strimming and/or repeat glyphosate applications there are
potentially significant savings. Due to the highly active formulation,
Chikara delivers a low application rate and low level of active
ingredient whilst still providing excellent efficacy. This makes the
product cost effective both in the amount of product used as well as
minimizing packaging disposal costs.
The annual cost for comparable vegetation control on 1 hectare,
based on typical costs for 4 strimmer or 4 glyphosate operations is
compared to a Chikara/glyphosate programme in the graph below.
Positive Environmental Profile
Chikara combines effective weed control with
operator safety and low risk to the environment.
It has a good a low application rate and low
level of active ingredient whilst still providing
excellent efficacy. Chikara presents negligible
risk to birds, mammals, fish, aquatic
invertebrates and bees when used as directed
on the product label.
Operational Benefits
One application of Chikara can save
repeated strimming visits to clear around
obstacles, fence lines, headstones and
similar situations. This represents good value
for money and reduces operator exposure
to hand/arm vibration (HAV) risk.

weeds White Water-lily and Yellow
Water-lily. As with any aquatic
herbicide, prior approval should be
sought from appropriate authorities.
How Gallup Biograde Amenity works
The active ingredient of Gallup Biograde Amenity is glyphosate which
acts by blocking the plant's enzymatic system. As this system is only found
in plants and not found in humans, animals, birds or fish, the herbicidal
activity is very specific – and effective.
The BEAT formulation ensures the herbicide is
readily absorbed through the leaf cuticle and is
able to circulate throughout the plant and right
down to the roots. As a result not just the foliage
but the whole of the plant is killed.
Gallup Biograde Amenity is adsorbed easily onto the soil particles so does
not leach and is also broken down by the soil bacteria into harmless
natural substances.
The product has great flexibility of use and can be applied in a variety of
situations including ✱ Around buildings ✱ On industrial sites ✱Along
fences and walls ✱ On paths, pavements and roadways ✱ Around tree

How Discman CDA
Biograde works
Discman CDA Biograde is a breakthrough in
formulation chemistry, being the first nonirritant
high concentration glyphosate in Europe that has a full
surfactant loading, BEAT, without using tallow amines. The
formulation speeds up the penetration process and improves
rainfastness by better adhesion on to the leaf surface. Consequently
more glyphosate is able to penetrate into the plant tissue and
translocate down to the roots resulting in a more rapid and effective
kill of the weed.
The high concentration of glyphosate (216g/l), linked to a low
application rate, making it extremely effective and very cost
efficient.
Discman CDA Biograde can be used through the Eliminator Lance
by simply connecting the herbicide bottle directly onto the lance. A
peristaltic pump is built into the sprayer providing a consistent
application rate with an
optimum droplet size. The
sprayer is self-calibrating so
overdosing is eliminated.
How to use
Discman CDA
Biograde
Discman CDA Biograde must
be applied with CDA
equipment with an approved
droplet spectrum (VMD min
200 microns). Choose a disc
with a spray pattern
appropriate to the task in
hand.
Discman CDA Biograde may
be used on land immediately
adjacent to aquatic areas.

the UK for protecting golf greens, soccer
pitches and all sports and amenity turf
WHY Eagle Green Care
❚ Laboratory tests have shown that Eagle
Green Care will rapidly kill all plant
parasitic nematodes
❚ Significantly reduces ectoparasitic and
endoparasitic nematode levels in golf
greens and sportsfields
In recent years, damage to sports and amenity turfgrass by
plant parasitic nematodes has become a major problem.
These microscopic parasites can feed externally on grass
roots (ectoparasites) or completely enter the root to feed
(endoparasites). Across Europe many turfgrass managers are
experiencing severe turf chlorosis and turf loss on putting
greens, football pitches, bowling greens, and so on.

Reducing nematode populations in a sports turf can quickly
promote an increase in turf quality and performance.
Currently Eagle Green Care is the only nematicide in the UK
that is approved for use on sportsfields and amenity turf
areas.
How Eagle Green Care works
Eagle Green Care contains polysulphides which react with
enzymes in animal cells and have a potent effect against
insect eggs and plant parasitic nematodes. It kills all types of
nematodes on contact.
It is recommended that Eagle Green Care is drenched into
the surface of grass where nematode-induced damage is
apparent, or nematode populations in soil exceed
thresholds.

➟
➟
➟
With today’s desire to achieve fast greens, turf surfaces are
cut to low levels and such practices can create conditions
that are beneficial to the establishment of moss.
Current control options available have been limited to the
applications of sulphate of iron but this is not a permanent
solution as frequent re-treatments are required as only the top
surface of the moss is affected.
Mogeton is extremely effective for the targeted control of
moss species on golf green and tees. These are the only
surfaces on which it is recommended at present. To achieve
the maximum effect, treatment with Mogeton should be
applied when the moss is actively growing during the months
when there are extended days of sunlight. The same applies
to temperature and humidity as under such conditions moss
will thrive and Mogeton is going to be at its most active.
Mogeton will control the whole plant, not just the exposed
parts. Following treatment the moss turns brown and will die. It
can then be removed by scarifying.

Worm cast suppression

❚ Rain or irrigation following application
will not reduce effectiveness
❚ Safe to a wide range of turfgrass
species
APPLICATION RATES
Equipment Systemic Water Volume Area
Power sprayer 4.0 litres 500-1000 litres 1 ha
How Mascot Systemic works
Its action is primarily via ingestion; there is some growth retardation and
an effect on egg production. The major impact is to cause reduced
feeding, with plant litter and ‘thatch’ becoming repellent to the
earthworms, resulting in the avoidance of feeding on treated areas.
In this way the beneficial worm species which do not surface feed will
largely be unaffected.
How to use Mascot Systemic
Spray when worms are near the surface e.g. during spring and autumn.
Avoid spraying during drought or when the ground is frozen. Aerate
compacted soils prior to treatment to aid penetration. Enhanced
suppression is obtained if grass is cut prior to application – do not
collect clippings from first mowing after treatment.
For best suppression repeat treatment 1 month after initial application.
– Systemic can be tank-mixed with approved formulations of
chlorpyriphos for Crane Fly control.
– For difficult-to-wet soils tank-mixing with Sward will enhance
suppression.
– In hard water areas, a water conditioner such as contained in
Trailblazer, should be used to reduce pH of water.

performance in hard water areas
WHY Trailblazer Trio
❚ Now contains water conditioners
❚ Dissolves in minutes to colour the spray
solution blue for easy identification
❚ Highlights overlapping and missed
areas, uneven spray patterns and
blocked nozzles
❚ The blue colour is temporary, does not
permanently stain vegetation, soil or
skin and washes off easily
❚ Drift and volatilisation is reduced
❚ Deposition on the leaf surface is
improved
❚ Uniform-sized droplets improve
application accuracy
❚ Compatible with most amenity

How Trailblazer Trio works
Trailblazer Trio now contains not only a temporary
spray colourant and spray drift controller, but also
water softeners, enabling accurate and cost
effective spraying of product onto the target area.
When spraying a pesticide or liquid fertilizer to
achieve an effective result, accurate application is
essential. Trailblazer Trio can help the operator
achieve this. The blue dye in Trailblazer Trio helps to
indicate missed or overlapped areas, highlight the
problem of spray drift as well as
indicating leaks in spray
equipment.
Trailblazer Trio contains two
chemical water conditioners.
The first is an acid that dissolves
the carbonates in the spray
solution and reduces their
ability to react with pesticides.
Trailblazer Trio also contains
water softeners – these are
widely used in the water

spray tank cleaner
Clearspray
Fast action against spray
products that foam when

Removes residues of all
amenity pesticides,
including glyphosate, from
spray tanks and spray lines
WHY Foamcheck
❚ Rapid de-foaming action
❚ Especially effective when using wetting
agents
❚ Reduces spray tank filling time
How Foamcheck works
Excessive foam production can be a problem when preparing
amenity sprays, particularly when using highly concentrated
solutions or those that contain surfactants e.g. wetting agents.
Whilst the foam itself is generally harmless, it may give problems in
preventing spray tanks from being filled properly or the equipment
being accurately calibrated.
WHY Clearspray
❚ Effective against all amenity pesticide
residues, including total herbicides such
as glyphosate
❚ For all spray tank cleaning operations
on all equipment types
How Clearspray works
Effective spraying relies on clean spray equipment which is free
from residue build-up. The powerful blend of detergents in
Clearspray removes pesticide deposits and other oily substances
from tanks, filters, booms, hoses and nozzles.
Foam in spray tanks is formed under agitation when many long
chain molecules form monolayers i.e. one molecule-thick sheets of
chemical. Forces of attraction within these molecules pull them
together into perfect spheres – structures consisting of air on the
inside and chemical on the outside i.e.foam.
When Foamcheck is added to the chemical these forces of
attraction are broken and the surface tension of the solution
significantly reduced, resulting in rapid foam knockdown whilst also
preventing the build-up of further foam.

WHY EcoPlug Max
❚ The new effective way to solve a
‘growing’ problem
❚ Each Ecoplug Max contains 300mg of
formulated glyphosate herbicide
How EcoPlug Max works
Trees growing close to buildings, roads, powerlines, bridges,
amenity areas and heritage sites can be a problem. When felled,
such trees will continue to grow and new shoots will grow from the
stumps unless treated. This can result in substantial foliage regrowth.
Ecoplug Max provides a simple and effective way to kill the root
system of tree stumps with no effect on surrounding trees. The plug
contains a herbicide, which is enclosed within a plug. When
inserted into the tree stump, the herbicide is released which results
in the kill of the entire root system. Because the herbicide is
contained within the tree stump, it has no effect on surrounding
trees or vegetation and, will not affect humans, animals or the
wider environment.
Ecoplug Max has a high efficacy rating of 95-100% and its
selective method of herbicide release will reduce the use of
chemicals by 90%, compared to traditional methods.

Nozzles
The most cost-effective investment in
reducing drift and waste, Air Bubble
Jets are the nozzle preference for golf
course greenkeepers, groundsmen
and landscapers
WHY Air Bubble Jets
❚ Maximum spray contact, minimum spray drift – reduces spray drift by 75%*
❚ Produces superior coverage – more consistent droplet size
❚ Less affected by wind – provides more spraying day opportunities
❚ Offers wide range of sizes – provides flexible application rates
❚ Less than 2% driftable droplets (100 microns) – compared to 20% conventional nozzles
❚ Fits any standard nozzle holders – easy to fit, clean and remove
❚ Used in a wide range of situations – excellent at low water rates
❚ Top ✰✰✰ LERAP award allows category B chemicals to be sprayed within one metre
of a water course
The BFS Air Bubble Jet has a 15-year proven record and is the number
one low drift nozzle used by UK farmers and growers.
How do they work?
Air Bubble Jets are specially designed spray nozzles (tips) that produce
a narrow range of spray droplets containing air bubbles that are
designed to minimize spray drift and optimize product efficacy.
Why use them?
Spray drift is a serious economic, environmental and safety problem.
Using BFS Air Bubble Jets, the spray, containing a mixture of air and
liquid, reduces spray drift and ensures more even leaf coverage to
achieve enhanced chemical efficacy.
How are they used?
Simply fitted to a standard nozzle body on the boom of any sprayer
the optimum operating pressure is between 2-4.5 bar with an overall
range of 1.5-6 bar.
What jets are available?
The full range includes: 01; 0.15; 0.2; 0.25; 0.3; 0.35; 0.4; 0.5; 0.6 and 0.8.
All the jets are ISO colour coded so if a conventional yellow 02 nozzle is
currently used, just substitute it with a yellow 02 Air Bubble Jet.
Who make Air Bubble Jets?
Air Bubble Jets are the invention of Billericay Farm Services, a leading
company in spray technology. They are designed and manufactured
in the United Kingdom and are exclusively marketed by Rigby Taylor to
the UK Amenity industry.
Inside the
Air Bubble Jet
A mixture of air and liquid is
drawn in and compressed and
then sprayed out through
specially designed fan jets. The
droplets that are produced
contain air bubbles which
collapse on contact with the
grass blade and spread evenly
across the surface. The liquid
being sprayed passes through a
removable tapered nozzle A
which accelerates the liquid and
projects the flow into the tapered
opening of the venturi B. This
creates a vacuum that causes
air to be sucked in through the
slots marked C.
The mixture of air and liquid is
compressed as it passes through
the mixing chamber D and is
then sprayed through the fan
nozzle E.

lack layer treatment
Blockade-LX
A specially formulated product for
the treatment of Black Layer in
sports and amenity turf
WHY Blockade-LX
❚ Improved activated carbon
adsorbs harmful gases
❚ Contains a rooting bio-stimulant to
assist rooting into and through Black
Layer profiles
❚ Enzymatic system degrades the
anaerobic materials in the Black Layer
❚ Highly active due to the soil penetrant
which moves the activated carbon into
the Black Layer
❚ Can be used to treat spillages of oil and
other toxic materials
How Blockade-LX works
Blockade-LX liquid treatment has a four-way mode of action:
✱ An enzymatic system directly degrades the protective film
covering anaerobic bacteria in the black layer, thus restricting
their production of toxic gas and relieving turf stress.
✱ Contains activated Carbon which is highly effective in adsorbing
Hydrogen Sulphide and Methane in the soil. The bad smell is
lessened and toxicity reduced, so roots can continue growing.
✱ Also present are rooting bio-stimulants allowing the plant to recolonise
affected areas.
✱ Contains a soil penetrant to move the Carbon into the black
layer which is usually sub-surface.
THE PROCESS OF BLACK LAYER PRODUCTION
Iron and Sulphur in the soil and a lack of Oxygen
Action of anaerobic bacteria on Sulphur produces Hydrogen Sulphide gas (rotten egg smell)
Hydrogen Sulphide reacts with Iron
producing Black Layer (Iron Sulphide)
Free Hydrogen Sulphide gas
Black Layer before
treatment with Blockade-LX
Black Layer 7 days after
treatment, plus aeration
How to use Blockade-LX
Black Layer 21 days after
treatment, plus aeration
Blockade-LX is particularly effective when applied during the
winter months when wet conditions mean the Black Layer is most
prominent. It must be placed sub-surface within the Black Layer
part of the turf profile. To do this effectively the turf may first be
spiked or hollow tined to the correct depth.

Over seeding Blockade 2000 Area Treated
Apply in conjunction with 10 kg 500 sq.m

How Blockade 2000 works
Activated Carbon: Most carbon materials have on average an
internal surface area of 10-15 sq.m/gram, whereas the figure for
activated carbon is about 2,000 sq.m/gram. It is this activat ed
Carbon source that is found in Blockade 2000, providing an
amazing 550 hectares of surface area per 20kg pack.
Formulation: The efficacy of Blockade 2000 is due to its unique
formulation and the manufacturing method which produces a
fully built, homogenous end product. Profile, a ceramic soil
amendment is used as a carrier, with each particle having 74%
pore space with a high level of air space. This in its own right will
help to restore aerobic conditions in the Black Layer.
The Profile carries the soil penetrant, plant hormones and
enzymatic system designed to degrade the Black Layer. The
activated carbon, which has the same particle size as the
Profile particles, is then mixed into the formulation. This ensures
even incorporation of the activated Carbon so providing a
consistent spread during application. The large surface area
enables the activated Carbon to adsorb and render inactive
the Hydrogen Sulphide gas in the Black Layer quickly and
effectively. Methane gas is also adsorbed.
How to use Blockade 2000
Blockade 2000 may be applied at any time of the year as a
preventative or curative treatment, and to improve seed
establishment when over-seeding. It can be used on all types of
fine and coarse turf.
Blockade 2000 must be placed sub-surface within the Black
Layer part of the turf profile. To do this effectively the turf may
first be spiked or hollow tined to the correct depth.

Humic Acid Improves rooting depth and rejuvenate soil structure
These are a group of compounds created by the degradation of organic matter and are a portion of
natures biological processes. Those in Activate R are sourced from Leonardite (Potassium Humate), one of the
most active sources of available Humic Acid.
Humic Acid increases nutrient retention in all soils but is especially important on USGA or high sand sports turf
constructions where nutrient exchange sites are low. Due to the Potassium source and its very high CEC,
Activate R helps to fix Potassium in the soil, making it available for plant uptake especially during the winter.
Combined with the soil penetrant, Humic Acid restructures the soil by altering/rearranging the soil platelets
making the soil more friable, increasing air spaces and increasing water penetration. Humic Acid has a high
Carbon content which slowly decomposes into carbon molecules providing a slow release microbial food
source.
Growth Promoting Hormones Improves root and shoot development
The cold water enzymatic, extracted plant growth hormones and betaines help the plant with increased
rooting and vigour. Combined with the simple plant sugars, these hormones improve seed germination and
establishment. These growth promoting hormones, combined with the simple plant sugars, improve seed germination
and establishment. The unique low temperature granulation process ensures none of these vital ingredients are
destroyed during the manufacturing process.
Micro-Nutrients Improve colour and health
Activate R contains a micro-nutrient (trace element) package including Magnesium, Copper, Boron,
Manganese, Molybdenum and Zinc. All the micro-nutrients contained are EDTA chelated for maximum plant
uptake.

How Activate-XL works
Simple Plant Sugars Increase microbial
activity and summer stress tolerance
The simple plant sugars in Activate-XL provide soil microbes with
a readily available food source, rapidly increasing their
population and activity. After an application of Activate-XL the
plant roots exude carbohydrates. This provides an energy
source for the mycorrhizal fungi and rhizosphere bacteria that
live in a close, mutually beneficial relationship with the plant. In
exchange for an energy supply the mycorrhizal fungi provide
the plant with a supply of nitrate and phosphate. This symbiotic
relationship is essential for a healthy sward. The plant sugars are
rapidly absorbed and assim ilated by the plant cells providing an
immediate energy source.

seaweed extract
Seaweed Compact
A dried seaweed extract in a
soluble powder form to help
improve shoot density, root
growth and general plant health
WHY Seaweed Compact
❚ A dried seaweed extract in a
soluble powder form
❚ Enhances root growth, root mass and
turf establishment
❚ Increases shoot density for better
recovery and ground cover
❚ Encourages grass shoots without
causing excess lush growth
❚ Aids young seed establishment by
boosting early growth
❚ Boosts beneficial soil microbes so
improving root health
❚ Helps maintain plant chlorophyll levels
for optimum growth and health
➟
➟
➟
How Seaweed Compact works
A 2kg pack of Seaweed Compact is equivalent to 12 litres (14.5kg) of a
traditional liquid seaweed product at comparable strength, so
provides additional benefits in terms of handling and transport issues.
Seaweed Compact contains a dried seaweed extract of Ascophyllum
nodosum and helps to boost root development, shoot growth, minimise
turf stress, maintain leaf function, maximise drought tolerance as well
as increasing soil microbial action.
Root Development: Trials show that in young plants, root length and
mass can be significantly increased (150%) by Seaweed Compact
application.
Shoot Growth: Seaweed Compact helps increase shoot development
and tillering, leading to better ground cover.
Chlorophyll: Trials have demonstrated that Seaweed Compact
increases and maintains chlorophyll levels in the leaf tissue, enabling it
to maximise carbohydrate production for optimum growth and repair.
Drought Tolerance: Seaweed Compact has an osmo-regulatory effect
on turf, helping it to withstand drought or saline conditions.
Microbial Activity: When in contact with the soil Seaweed Compact
has a stimulating effect on certain beneficial soil microbes which
multiply and increase their activity such as improving soil structure and
releasing nutrients. The microbes also help break down thatch.
Plant Health: Betaines found in Seaweed Compact have been shown
to have a beneficial effect on plant health. They help to raise the
plant’s natural health status, enabling turf to withstand various stress
factors such as heat, cold, wind, wear, mechanical damage and
disease.

calcium supplement
Cal-Form
A foliar applied, rapidly absorbed
Calcium supplement for the treatment

WHY Cal-Form
❚ A foliar applied Calcium supplement for
turf suffering from Calcium deficiency
❚ Contains L-Amino Acids enabling a fast
uptake of Calcium into the plant,
regardless of rootzone conditions
❚ Low pH which enables good
compatibility, including Potassium and
Magnesium products
❚ Improved disease tolerance by helping
to build stronger cell walls
➟
➟
➟
How Cal-Form works
➟
➟
Calcium is a macronutrient and an important cell wall constit -
uent (as calcium pectate), helping to strengthen the walls.
Calcium deficiency causes cell walls to weaken, making the
plant more susceptible to fungal disease. It is also known to be
involved in cell division, root and leaf development and
Phosphorus availability.
Deficiency shows as a reddish-brown discolouration along the
leaf margin which develops into a lighter red colour.
In addition to the Calcium itself, Cal-Form also contains Amino
Acids that have chelating properties and improve the
absorption of Calcium into the plant as well as its movement
around the plant, regardless of environmental/rootzone
conditions.
Using the liquid Calcium supplement Cal-Form will overcome
the problems of Calcium deficiencies in the plant.
➟
➟ ➟
Calcium mainly occurs in leaves and stems but it is relatively
immobile within the tissues. It is also present in the soil – levels
are related to Magnesium, Potassium and Sodium. It is involved
in soil pH, levels decreasing as the pH falls below neutral. In fine
turf situations the aim is to generally reduce rootzone pH levels
in order to encourage the finer grasses. In doing so Calcium
often becomes deficient. It may also be deficient in alkaline
soils since Calcium is present in an insoluble form.

❚ Improves disease tolerance
How K-Form works
➟
➟
➟
Potassium is the second most sought after plant nutrient and is
involved in many processes including drought tolerance,
Nitrogen metabolism, carbohydrate movement and stomatal
function.
If Potassium becomes deficient, changes in enzyme activity can
also occur which are thought to lead to a higher susceptibility to
fungal attack.
Using the Potassium supplement K-Form will overcome the
problems of Potassium deficiencies in rootzones.
In addition to Potassium, K-Form also contains higher levels of the
Amino Acids involved in facilitating a very rapid foliar absor p tion
of Potassium into the plant and assisting in its movement within it,
even under adverse environmental/rootzone conditions.
Applications of K-Form throughout the autumn months will also
prepare the turf for the low temperature conditions of winter.

Potassium tends to accumulate in leaf tips, so turfgrass
subjected to intensive mowing particularly at a low height of
cut need regular amounts of Potassium during the growing
season. It is readily lost from the rootzone through leaching
especially in USGA/sandy profiles, which inherently have low
nutrient retention capabilities (low Cation Exchange
Capacity – CEC).

magnesium supplement
Mag-Form
For the treatment of Magnesium
deficiency in amenity turf
WHY Mag-Form
❚ Corrects Magnesium deficiency
symptoms
❚ Formulation enables rapid leaf and root
uptake of the element
❚ Corrects Magnesium/Calcium
imbalance in the soil
➟
➟
➟
How Mag-Form works
Magnesium is a macronutrient
involved in important plant
activities including Phosphorus
translocation mechanisms,
enzyme reactions and is a
constituent of chlorophyll.
Magnesium is important for the
maintenance of the green colour
and growth in the turf plant. It is
quite mobile within the plant with
re-distribution occurring more
from the older to the younger
tissues. Concentrations are usually
higher in the leaves but it can
also be found in the growing tips
of roots and stems.
Deficiencies of Magnesium are
more prone in sandy soils which have an acid pH. Symptoms
include a cherry red discolouration along leaf margins usually
occurring in the older, lower leaves first before spreading. Root
growth is also severely restricted.
The Magnesium:Calcium ratios are important in relation to the
availability of both elements, and the addition of Mag-Form can
assist in maintaining a correct balance between the two elements.
Mag-Form is a complex which provides readily available
Magnesium for fast uptake by the leaves and shoots.

phosphorus supplement
Phos-Form
A Phosphorus supplement containing
Potassium Phosphite and L-form
Amino Acids for use on amenity turf
WHY Phos-Form
❚ Readily available source of Phosphorus
in the form of Potassium Phosphite,
ensuring rapid uptake into the plant
❚ Free flowing, non-foaming liquid
formulation with multi-site activity
❚ Particularly useful in times of plant stress
❚ Can be used on all types of established
turfgrass and seedling turf
Phosphorus is a vital element in the metabolic processes within
the plant. It is an important constituent in enzymes and proteins
as well as being a structural component of phosphoproteins,
phospholipids and nucleic acids. Plants suffering from
Phosphorus deficiency use water less efficiently, are susceptible
to growth suppression, less tolerant of cold temperatures and
take longer to root.
Phosphite (as a Phosphorus source) which is present in Phos-
Form, has one less Oxygen molecule than traditional Phos -
phate itself and so has a higher degree of solubility and
mobility. This unique characteristic permits phos phite to be
readily absorbed by the leaves and root system. Once
absorbed it undergoes oxidation resulting in a release of
Phosphorus. By using phosphite, turf devel ops more root growth
and more vigorous leaf growth and also provides benefits of
stress resistance.
➟

➟
How Phos-Form works
Phos-Form is a Phosphorus supplement based on Potassium
Phosphite. Both the Potassium and the Phosphorus are in readily
available, fully water-soluble forms, ensuring the plant takes up
both the P and K rapidly, especially under stress conditions.

manganese supplement
Manganaze
For the treatment of Managanese
deficiency in turf
WHY Manganaze
❚ Contains the element Manganese (Mn)
to improve photosynthesis capability
❚ The element Manganese increases
lignification of cell walls as a defence
mechanism against disease
❚ Iron Sulphate helps lower the pH and
provides Iron nutrition
❚ Contains plant sugars providing an
energy source to Fluorescent
Pseudomonads (beneficial antagonistic
bacteria)
How Manganaze works
Manganese deficiency is common in poorly drained soils and
also where organic levels are high, and Manganese can
become unavailable to plants where pH levels are high.
Manganaze has been specifically formulated as a nutrient
supplement for newly established bent turf greens and situations
where pH levels will restrict uptake of the element Manganese.
To assist the turf plant’s ability against Take-all Patch
(Gaeumannomyces graminis) which effects bent grasses, all
areas should be sprayed as Take-all Patch can be active in the
ground even when there are no visible patches of the disease.
Manganaze has been shown to increase populations of
beneficial bacteria which antagonise Take-all Patch.
Make 4 applications of Manganaze at 4-6 week intervals. All
greens should be sprayed. A full programme must be
completed. For best results combine cultural and nutritional
practices to minimize Take-all Patch.
Typical early season Take-all Patch Symptoms
The element Manganese is an important micronutrient required
by all plants and is involved in various metabolic functions. It is
the catalyst for Oxygen evolution in photosynthesis and is an
activator co-factor in several major enzymes involved in
metabolic pathways, including the TCA cycle, synthesis of RNA
in chloroplasts and in lipid synthesis. Manganese also plays a
role in lignin synthesis which can help to suppress both leaf and
root diseases.

stress relief
Amino-Form LX
A unique Amino Acid based supplement
that gives turf maximum protection and
recovery from stress
WHY Amino-Form LX
❚ Improves stress resistance to, and
enhances recovery from, drought,
heat, cold, wear, excessive salinity and
shade, water-logging, etc
❚ Increases photosynthesis and
chlorophyl content
❚ Improves turf quality
❚ Increases root growth of stressed turf
❚ Enhances germination
❚ Chelating properties gives improved
absorption of nutrients
❚ Unique tank mixing compatibilities
How Amino-Form LX works
Amino Acids are the structural units of all proteins – natural organic
molecules that take part in all physiological processes. Amino-Form LX
contains all the amino acids which are involved in turf health. Plants
store nutrients, especially Nitrogen, as Amino Acids or proteins. Under
optimal growing conditions plants synthesize their own amino acids but
at a significant expense in terms of energy. However, when stress
situations occur, there is a greater demand for Amino Acids than the
plant is able to meet.
Amino Acids also have important chelating properties, chelates being
formed by combining with elements such as Iron, Manganese,
Calcium, Magnesium and Copper which are important to the plant. As
a result, nutrients applied at the same time as Amino-Form LX will be
more readily absorbed by roots and leaves.

Amino-Form LX is absorbed through the leaves and through the roots,
so Amino Acids are taken up quicker and are more readily available.
The result is enhanced recovery from stress and a healthy more
vigorous turf.
An application of Amino-Form LX during stress periods allows
considerable savings in energy which can then be channelled into
essential physiological processes such as photosynthesis and protein
formation (new growth).

How MicroDyne works
MicroDyne is an ‘all in one mixture’ based on organic plant
matter that provides the plant with all the necessary nutrients for
healthy growth...
A low NPK organic liquid fertilizer ensures the plant is not
deficient in any of the key major nutrients but ensures there is not
over-stimulation leading to flushes of growth.
A soil penetrant enables the nutrients to move through the
thatch layer and target the rootzone more effectively.
Chelated Irons are complex molecules that protect the
biologically active Ferrous Iron, preventing it from reacting with
other substances and becoming unavailable to the plant. The
Iron Chelates only break down once inside the plant ensuring all
the Iron can be utilised by the plant.
Cold extracted seaweed ensures none of the essential properties
of the seaweed are reduced. Seaweed (Ascophyllum Nodosum)
has many beneficial properties to the plant.
18 Amino acids take part in the vital physiological processes such
as photosynthesis and convert into essential plant proteins for
new growth.

How Integrate Plus works
Integrate Plus is a totally unique, patented blend of anionic
charged polymers combined with a surface-acting wetting
agent. Integrate Plus quickly penetrates the soil surface and the
rapidly expanding polymer molecules are carried down into the
rootzone.
Mechanical aeration affects less than 10% of the soil surface,
and compac tion can reduce the operating efficiency of turf
anywhere from 25-50% as water does not drain, air movement
stops and root growth is restricted.
Integrate Plus will restore the soil’s water/air balance and return
damaged soil structure to a properly functioning condition. It will
assist in repairing collapsed pore spaces that prevent the
draining of standing water, restore the flow of air into the
rootzone, reduce the conditions that encourage Black Layer
and ‘open-up’ new channels for root development.
Before treatment:
Compaction clogs up
pore space, preventing
free draining and air
exchange. Anaerobic
conditions forces out
oxygen resulting in soil
structure collapse. Roots
struggle to survive and
moisture/nutrient
transport ceases.
After treatment:
Compacted layers
‘opened up’ as clogged
pores spaces are
repaired. Gravitational
water flow is reestablished
and water/air
balance reinstated. Root
channels are developed
and a viable soil structure
restored.

Compaction...the problem
Compaction...the solution
How to apply Integrate Plus liquid
Integrate Plus can be applied at any time of the year providing the
ground is not frozen or completely waterlogged.
✱ Any type of conventional spraying machine can be used.
✱ Irrigation or even rain following treatment is beneficial.
✱ Improved results may be obtained by applying treatments
immediately following mechanical aeration.
Integrate Plus is not to be mixed with Calcium Nitrate based
fertilizers or products incompatible with anionic adjuvants.
How to apply Integrate Plus liquid
Integrate Plus Granules are ideally applied after aeration e.g. Vertidraining
or hollow-coring, as this ensures that the active ingredients
in the product reach deep into the compacted rootzone where
they can exert their optimum effects.
The soil penetrants within the product help the poly-electrolyte
system to move into the rootzone for maximum effectiveness. This
will also be aided by the incorporation of the product following
aeration operations.
The easy to apply, dust free, granular formulation gives long term
effectiveness due to the gradual release of ingredients in the
granule and is ideal to apply during poor weather conditions.

Integrate Plus Granules contain advanced polymeric, polyelectrolytes
together with the most advanced soil penetrant
system. The long chain poly-electrolyte system within the
product is negatively charged (anionic) and effectively
attracts the positively charged cations held within the CEC sites
on clay and organic matter e.g. Calcium, Magnesium.
De-structured clay particles are minute and are effectively
aggregated together by this process into larger crumbs. The
formation of such a crumb structure within the rootzone results
in improved drainage and much more pore space for root
growth.

❚ Excellent stability – still stable after 30
years
❚ High, permanent Cation Exchange
Capacity (CEC)
❚ Consistent USGA particle size

WATER
The Profie Greens particle
Each particle is 74% pore space with
approximately 39% capillary (water)
pores and 35% non-capillary (air)
pores. Profile Greens blended with
sand or soil increases the water and
nutrient holding pores as well as
increasing the air and drainage pores.
Profile's CEC will assist in the retention
of nutrients, but unlike organic materials, such as peat, will not
cause layering and will increase percolation rates.
Profile Greens is a true porous ceramic product engineered to
solve and prevent soil problems. The accurate computercontrolled
firing process permanently changes the base minerals
(Illite Clay and Amorphous Silica) into a stable porous ceramic
particle. It is no longer a clay, with no danger of particles
breaking down into clay resulting in layering problems, unlike
some products which are not fired to the same temperatures.
Profile Greens particle size distribution has been specifically
tailored to match USGA particle size recommendations.
How Profile Greens grade works
Profile Greens physically improves the soil structure. In sand it
increases water retention and nutrient-holding because of the
capillary pores and the Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC).
Percolation rates are increased when it is mixed with sand
because of the non-capillary pore space within the product. Soilbased
greens benefit by the added porosity Profile Greens
provides for better drainage.
Profile Greens is very stable: Stability over time is obviously impor -
tant, especially during winter or freeze/thaw cycles. Profile Greens
is four times as stable as USGA requirements and has been shown
not to break down. Stable particles have been found in Purdue
University greens 30 years after incorporation.

Profile Greens has a high CEC: A permanent CEC of 33 meq/100g is
provided by Profile Greens. It has a strong affinity for Potassium, which
can leach quite readily from sand-based rootzones. Profile Greens has a
low affinity for Sodium and in high salt areas it can therefore help
amend the root zone by increasing drainage, allowing the flushing of
greens of Sodium.
Profile Greens holds water like peat, but drains like sand: Ohio State
University proved Profile Greens' 50/50 balance of capillary and noncapillary
pore space will retain water and also let water drain. Water is
held within, and drawn through, the capillary pore space of the porous
ceramic particles. The non-capillary pore space lets water flow through
the soil if it becomes saturated. Adding Profile Greens to sands will
increase percolation rates and improve water availability.
Profile Greens reduces surface algal problems: Surface algal problems
can be reduced dramatically by frequent light top dressings of Profile
Greens. The excellent absorptive characteristics enable it to retain the
moisture which is necessary for surface algal growth.
THE IDEAL SOIL
Ideal soil should contain 50% solid and 50% pore space. (½ capillary or
water holding pore space and ½ non-capillary or air-holding and drainage
pore space)
COMPACTED SOIL
Compacted soil reduces or eliminates the non capillary
(air-holding and drainage) pore space
SAND SOIL
Sand soils resist compaction, but they have little water or nutrient
retention ability.
SAND/PEAT MIX (Percolation rate: 12-15" per hour).
Peat has been added to sand soils to increase water and nutrient
retention. The problem is that peat or other organic materials tend
to reduce water percolation rates and are relatively short-lived.
SAND/PROFILE GREENS MIX
(Percolation rate: 20-24”per hour) Profile brings sand back to
the ideal soil conditions by balancing pore space. It improves
percolation rates, water retention and nutrient retention.
How Profile Field & Fairway works
Profile Field & Fairway is ideal for any soil since its unique structure
contains thousands of pore spaces, and when mixed into the soil
modifies its structure. It creates air spaces, increases the percolation
rate, has excellent capillary characteristics and prevents clay soils from
bonding together to cause compaction.
The slightly larger particle size provides 78% porosity of which 41% is
capillary pore space and 37% is non-capillary pore space.
Profile Field & Fairway is ideal for use in most amenity areas e.g. sports -
grounds, whilst Profile Greens should be used for high performance root
zones e.g. golf greens, bowling greens.

Alize
Porous granules that improve moisture
and nutrient retention in the rootzone,
increase aeration and CEC
WHY Alize
❚ Alize is a natural zeolite
❚ Zeolites help with the retention of

– Sand root zones
– Low existing CEC
– Soil with high leaching potential
– To moderate and balance nutrient inputs
Zeolites in a free

positively charged
nutients, e.g.
–Ammonium
–Potassium
–Calcium
How Alize works
+ + + + + + + + +
Zeolites are a family of crystaline aluminosilicate minerals. In
common with other zeolites, Alize has a three dimensional
cage-like structure consiting of SiO 4 and AlO 4 tetrehedra joined
by shared oxygen atoms. The negative charges of the AlO 4 units
are balanced by the presence of exchangeable cations which
can be readily displaced by other substances, for example
Ammonium ions. This phenomenom is known as ‘cation
exchange’, and it is the high cation exchange capacity (CEC)
of Alize which provides many of its useful properties.
Alize, applied either by top dressing or ‘drill-and-fill’ technique,
confers the following benefits to turf applications:
1. Improves nutrient and fertilizer retention in the root zone.
2. Granules adsorb soluble Nitrogen and Potassium, reducing
leaching of key nutreints.
3. Porous granules increase aeration resulting in healthier turf.
4. Improves establishment of newly sown turf.
5. Helps protect against the possibility of fertilizer scorch.
6. Robust granules resist soil compaction.

How Magnet Rapide works
Natural soil Iron, though abundant, can be deficient as it is
mostly present as an insoluble form which the plant is unable to
take up. In addition, the continued use of Sulphate of Iron
products (Ferrous Sulphate) can also lead to problems including
Black Layer, turf blackening and reduced root growth.
Magnet Rapide contains Iron Chelates which overcome such
problems. They are the only effective way of providing Iron in a
biological form that can be utilised by turfgrass. Those in Magnet
Rapide are complex molecules that protect the biologically
active Ferrous Iron within their ring-like structure, preventing it
from reacting with other substances and becoming unavailable
for plant uptake. Once inside the plant they break down to
release their Iron in a readily available form.
The unique leaf penetrant system in Magnet Rapide helps the
Iron move rapidly into the plant where it can have maximum
effect, resulting in a rapid green-up with long-lasting effects – up
to 6 weeks from one application.
The trace elements in Magnet Rapide are essential for healthy
plant growth.

Having Rigby Taylor as one of the
Official Tournament Sponsors was
hugely valuable and crucial in delivering
this tournament to UEFA standards.
Work started with the tournament venues
months prior to the tournament, to
ensure the pitches were in top class
condition throughout. Most importantly
for the host clubs, we were able to leave
them with a pitch that was in a better
condition after the tournament, than it
would usually be mid-season. For clubs
of this level, the resource offered to them
by Rigby Taylor was invaluable.

How Spike works
Containing Potassium and Silica, the stomatal leaf opening
is regulated and the leaf cell wall turgidity increased. The
Potassium helps the plant to overcome stress effects
caused by drought, cold, traffic and mechanical wear
and salinity.
The Silicon accumulates in the leaf cuticles leading to
increased chlorophyll content, improved photosynthesis
and enhanced colour. It also assists root development
providing strength, and the ability to achieve excellent
anchorage and deeper penetration of the root zone.
There is also evidence that Silicon stimulates a reaction by
the plant to disease attack, producing a rapid activation
of peroxides and polyphenoxidases that play an active
role in plant disease suppression.
Applied all year round, it is especially effective for turf
presentation and to enhance tolerance to, and recovery
from, plant stresses.

Propel-R
NEW
TO THE RANGE
Advanced generation of water

WHY Propel-R
❚ New technology with soil micelle
interaction
❚ Advanced formulation gives complete
soil wetting
❚ Reduces soil water repellency to zero
❚ Transports moisture away from the
surface
❚ Improves water and air balance in the

❚ Enhances the soil rhizosphere diversity
and activity
How Propel-R works
The unique formulation of Propel-R uses distinctive micelles to attract
both water and hydrophobic soil particles together. The micelles are
arranged in rods and multiply significantly the sites in which water can
be reserved for use by the plant roots and other beneficial organisms
in the rhizosphere.

Propel-R complete
soil wetting
The arrangements of the micelle rods are
hexagonal in structure, which ensure a consistent
and complete permeation of moisture within the
root-zone
The micelle rods also have a lower friction coefficient than standard
wetting agents, which allows Propel-R to pass more rapidly into the soil
profile. The speed at which the wetting agent is dispersed through the
soil profile greatly improves the reaction to Dry Patch flare-ups.
Prevention is always better than cure
Turf grass that has been drought-stressed will exhaust valuable reserves
in an attempt to restore its natural balance of strength and health,
leaving it prone to diseases and the inability to withstand and recover
from mechanical injury. Maintaining a balanced air/water ratio in the
root zone will inhibit the development of hydrophobic lipids that can
have such a weakening affect on plants and preserve the plants
metabolism and become more resistant to stress.
Regular applications of Propel-R will ensure the rootzone is in the best
condition to supply the necessary moisture and nutrient transport for
optimal plant development.
0800 424919 98

Soil Water Repellency Results
Rooting: When turf is severely affected by Dry Patch the rooting of the
grass can be significantly restricted. Plants with a shallow and poorly
developed rootzone are in turn more susceptible to drought and will
wilt and eventually die. Propel-R keeps moisture in the tiny spaces
between sand and soil particles and encourages the plant root to
produce fine root hairs that can utilise this moisture and thus minimise
the effects of drought stress.

STRI results prove it!
Independent research carried out by the STRI in 2009 which included leading wetting agents, showed that Breaker
BioLinks, when applied preventatively, reduced the severity of Dry Patch, improved turf colour, turf quality and soil
moisture content.
In addition,
“Applied after the rootzone had dried (curatively), only Breaker BioLinks improved turf quality
and reduced Dry Patch severity.”
Wetting and spreading
This agent reduces surface tension of water droplets so they can
spread more readily across the turf surface. Increases the speed
at which excess surface water is moved down into the rootzone.
Conventional Wetters
Water droplets falling onto
grass surface
Breaker BioLinks
spreads water over the
surface to a far greater extent
Re-Wetting
Breaker BioLinks moves through hydrophobic layers and works up
to 30% deeper in the rootzone. This ensures uniform wetting of the
soil profile rather than just the surface or thatch layer and
improves the air:moisture balance to allow the roots to penetrate
beyond the Dry Patch zone.
With Breaker BioLinks a visible response by the turf can be seen in
48 hours when applied with irrigation and a dry soil will be totally
re-wetted in 4-6 hours.

How to use Breaker Biolinks
Breaker BioLinks
Programme Approach
Breaker BioLinks has been developed to work both on a preventative
and curative level.
Due to the residual activity of Breaker BioLinks in the rootzone a
concentration of wetting agent increases in line with the number of
applications during the season. This cumulative effect has significant
benefits when Dry Patch becomes most prevalent during
July/August.
This programmed approach ensures the maximum amount of wetting
agent is present in the rootzone at exactly the time it is most needed.

Breaker Dynamic
Proven surfactant technology for the
management of water-related problems
WHY Breaker Dynamic
❚ Superb control and prevention of Dry
Patch
❚ Maximises irrigation efficiency – make
best use of the water you apply
❚ Improved penetration system gets active
even deeper into the soil, even through
hydrophobic layers
❚ Moves moisture away from turf surface
❚ Encourages improved root growth
❚ Extremely safe to turf, no risk of scorch
❚ Liquid, granular, tablet and fairway
formulations
How Breaker Dynamic works
Dry Patch results from a build up of organic matter on soil
particles caused by fungal mycelium deposits, such as those
left behind following Fairy Rings. This deposit is made up of
waxes and lipids and is highly water-repellent – a hydrophobic
coating that prevents water from attaching to, and wetting,
the soil. Breaker Dynamic can attach to both water and the
organic coating on the soil particles to provide a ‘bridge’ or
link between two otherwise incompatible substances; this
allows the soil to be re-hydrated.
The chemistry used in Breaker Dynamic is an extremely long
repeating chain of tri-block co-polymer surfactants, which
allow different chemical properties to be combined into one
active. Surfactants are selected that have superior spreading
properties, excellent penetration and long term rewetting.
These are all blended to make up Breaker Dynamic.
The Breaker formulation chemistry alters the structure of water
molecules to allow them to spread out giving maximum
coverage over the soil surface. The penetrants then ensure
water is moved down both horizontally and vertically within
the soil profile to where it is needed in the rootzone.

Breaker Curative 2
Cures water repellency and reinstates
water receptivity, acting directly on the
cause of Dry Patch
WHY Breaker Curative 2
❚ A unique blend of organic components
that attack and break down the
hydrophobic materials that bind to sand
particles in the soil profile
❚ Long lasting, effective treatment
❚ Extremely safe to all types of turf, with no
adverse effects on soil microbial activity
❚ Ideally used as a combined programme
with Breaker Dynamic Liquid
How Breaker 2 Curative works
It is the unique Tenside Hydrophobe Chemistry in Breaker Curative 2
that targets the water repellent materials which bind to the sand
particles that make the rootzone unable to re-wet. The mild
cleansing action removes the waxy materials and places them in
solution, which means they can be flushed from the rootzone
profile. As Breaker Curative 2 keeps the materials in a true solution,
they cannot re-attach themselves to the sand particles.

Combined Breaker Curative 2 and Breaker Dynamic applications
Breaker Curative 2 will cure soil water repellency but will not help
water penetrate through and maintain even moisture distribution in
the rootzone. Breaker Curative 2 is best applied as part of a
combined application programme with Breaker Dynamic liquid or
other high quality wetting agents.
If water droplets do not penetrate into air-dried soil cores within one
minute then the soil may be considered to be water repellent. This
technique is extremely useful in assessing whether a wetting agent
or other material has had an effect on soil water repellency.
Trials on 100% sand rootzones and USGA rootzone constructions
have shown the reduction in soil water repellency that can be
achieved using a Breaker Curative 2/Breaker Dynamic liquid
programme. (See website for details).

dew dispersant
Dew-T
For the rapid and effective dispersal of
dew formation, surface moisture and
light frost on fine and coarse turf grass
WHY Dew-T
❚ Excellent prevention of dew formation
(up to 14 days).
❚ Gives a cleaner cut when mowing
❚ Start mowing operations earlier in the
day
❚ Cultural method of disease
management
❚ Cost effective dew control operation,
when compared to traditional switching
and brushing
❚ Safe to beneficial microbes
❚ Low application rate and water volume
How Dew-T works
Surface moisture on the leaf can provide the optimum habitat for
diseases such as Microdochium nivale (Fusarium Patch) or Sclerotinia
homoeocarpa (Dollar Spot). Both strive in cool, moist conditions.
Dew can also encourage moss growth, especially in the Spring and
Autumn.
One common solution is the use of a dew brush. This can add
disturbance to the leaf at times where climate conditions are
already adding additional stress factors to the turfgrass. The use of a
dew brush can be labour intensive wasting time and resources.
Dew-T contains unique polymeric surfactants that have a twin mode
of action. Firstly they are very effective at reducing the surface
tension of water molecules thus preventing dew formation. Secondly
they have a very strong binding capacity, which enables them to
attach to the surface of the waxy leaf surface which causes the
moisture to run off.
By removing the water from the turfgrass surface, this reduces the
optimum conditions on the turfgrass, which aids the prevention of
foliar diseases. This leads to healthier more disease resistant turf.

Tetraploid Technology
Latest R news!
Fabian is the new partner to Tetragreen, the latest
technology in tetraploid perennial ryegrass for extended
cool season growth and superior performance under
environmental stress situations such as drought.
Tetraploid ryegrasses also offer superior tolerance to
diseases such as Microdochium patch (Microdochium
nivale) making them perfect for winter stress performance.
Tetraploid perennial ryegrass has double the number of
chromosomes in comparison to diploid perennial ryegrass. This
allows for an improved performance under cool temperatures,
particularly during transitional seeding using the R140 mixture.
Specifically bred for increased tolerance and recovery from
environmental stress, tetraploid perennial ryegrass provides
many benefits in comparison to diploid perennial ryegrass.
❚ Exceptional tolerance to a wide range of environmental
stresses
❚ Increased chloroplast and chlorophyll production for energy
absorption and processing
❚ Enhanced rooting capability for stronger, deeper rooting
system
❚ Greater tolerance to winter diseases such as Microdochium
❚ Increased shoot growth and recovery in cooler temperatures
❚ Superior drought tolerance
❚ Wide range of applications – sports pitches, racecourses and
polo pitches, golf course divotting and walkways, bowlers
run-ups

Turf Range
Quality and consistency are the
hallmarks of Rigby Taylor turf
The quality of our turf benefits from the use of high quality cultivars
selected for their highest purity.
Greens Turf
Available either grown on 100% sand to USGA
specification or on an indigenous sandy loam
topsoil. The seed mixture used is 50% browntop
bent and 50% fescue, giving a predominately
bent sward at maturity.
50% Browntop bent
25% Slender creeping red fescue
25% Chewings fescue
Mowing height for greens: 3-5mm.
100% Fescue

Fairway Turf
Arena
Designed for fairways, Arena Turf is dense and
hardwearing. Many courses now overseed
regularly with a similar seed mixture.
30% Dwarf amenity ryegrass
20% Smoothstalked meadowgrass
30% Slender creeping red fescue
20% Chewings fescue
Mowing height for fairways: 18-30mm.
Tees Turf
Arena Gold
The fine-leaved ryegrasses in this turf have revo -
lutionized their use on golf courses, combining
fineness of leaf with high wear tolerance to give
excellent performance on golf tees. It has even
found its way onto more traditional courses where
ryegrasses were not previously considered.
40% Dwarf amenity ryegrass
40% Slender creeping red fescue
20% Chewings Fescue
Mowing height for tees: 10-12mm.
Heavy Traffic Turf
RTF
With roots able to go down 1.5m into the soil, the
plants (rhizomatous tall fescue) can exploit water
reserves further down the soil profile. RTF is the
answer for heavy wear areas like walk-ways and
paths that are subject to heavy traffic, and also
in such hostile areas as bunker sides.
85% Tall fescue
15% Dwarf amenity ryegrass
Mowing height for pathways: 25-40mm
Winter Sport Turf
Arena Sport
Arena Sport is a turf designed to stand up to the
heavy demands of winter sports such as football
and rugby. The cultivars of ryegrass we use in
Arena Sport have performed well in intensive
wear trials at the Sports Turf Research Institute.
They rank highly on live ground cover and visual
merit during wear in the autumn/winter.
70% Dwarf amenity ryegrass
30% Smooth stalked meadowgrass
Preparation & Aftercare
Pre-preparation of the soil surface prior to
laying turf is vital. For best results lay the turf
on the day of delivery. Once the turf has
been laid, make sure that it is kept damp
(without overwatering) until the roots have
anchored it firmly to the soil. You can start
mowing the turf as soon as the surface feels
firm enough to walk on.
An application of Activate R, containing
Enhanced Root Developer (ERD) will assist the
rooting establishment process. With our
Greens turf on USGA rootzone, it’s advisable
to apply a fungicide, as insurance, soon after
laying. Although the turf will have had
prophylactic fungicide treatments during
production, the stress of lifting and transport
can make the turf more susceptible to
Fusarium.
Following the laying, take the cutting height
down slowly over the following weeks, never
cutting off more than a third of the leaf at
any one time.
A professional laying service for big rolls is
available when required. Laying is
undertaken using bespoke equipment.
Where time is short, 10,000 sq.m can be laid
in 24 hours. Ask your Rigby Taylor
representative for more details.
Sizes & Weights
Rigby Taylor turf is supplied in three formats
depending on requirements.
Type Width Area Weight
Big Roll 600mm 15 sq.m 500 kg

effect that is both attractive to look at, and provides cover and food for
many species of animals and insects.
The mixes have been selected from numerous trials conducted
throughout the UK conditions to ensure they are suitable for the British
climate, soil and growing conditions.
The benefits of creating Euroflor Urban Flower displays are :
✿ Long lasting flower display
✿ Ecological biodiversity
✿ Easy installation
✿ No fertiliser or pesticide requirements
✿ Low installation costs
✿ Low maintenance costs
✿ Lower irrigation requirements than bedding plants
✿ Suitable for difficult and dangerous sites to access –
embankments, roundabouts, roadside verges

Euroflor sustains insect populations
There is a need for insects at peak period flowering on successive fruit and vegetable
crops through the season.
For habitat management, Euroflor helps maintain bumble bees, honey bees, butterflies,
beetles, ladybirds and other insects in the environment by providing a regular and
stable nectar source. These insects play an important role by ensuring that pollinating
insects have a nectar source between crops.

“
We use R9 grass seed when renovating
our cricket square in September with
great success and found that germination
was very consistent and achieved rapid
establishment.
As the weeks progressed a strong rooting
system developed resulting in an excellent
sward density.
This was further enhanced through the use of
high quality fertilizers from Rigby Taylor's
Fineturf and Microflow fertilizer range. On our
outfield, we use R8 as our preferred mixture
for reinstatement as it provides excellent early
establishment, holds its colour and recovers
well following intensive use during the
season.

Linemarking paints
There are many types of paint formulations available...from readyto-use
products to dilutable concentrates that are mixed with
different volumes of water depending on the quality of line required.
Many of these paints are resistant to rainfall and produce a durable
and highly visual white line. Some can be used on both natural
(grass) and artificial turf surfaces.
Ready to Use
These paints require no dilution. Some can be poured direct into a
spray tank whilst others such as Impact formulations can be applied
direct from its container. No measuring, no mixing and no mess.
Major advances have been made in formulation technology
allowing a pitch to be marked using from 1 litre of paint.
Ready to use paints can be used on grass, hard and artificial
surfaces and many can be applied either through a spray
applicator or from a transfer wheel. Available in a range of pack
sizes, including 1000 litre bulk IBC’s.
Dilutables
These paints need to be diluted with varying amounts of water to
achieve the quality of line required. The paint has to be
measured, mixed and poured into the marking machine tank.
Available in a range of pack sizes, including 1000 litre bulk IBC’s.
Permanent paints
Not for use on grass but for marking long lasting lines on manmade
hard or artificial surfaces. Products are supplied in a
ready-to-use formulation and applied through a spray marker.

In the case of Tennis Court paint, this is used for covering the court and
applied using a brush, roller or specialist equipment applied by a
contractor.
Aerosols
Highly concentrate paint formulations, contained in a can with gas added
to allow the paint to be expelled under pressure as a fine spray through a
nozzle; Quick to use but expensive if marking a large area. Blockage of
nozzles and difficulty in use under cold conditions can be a problem.
Whiting powder
Mixed with water or applied dry, they are available as low cost, fine-grade,
chalk-based materials. The powder is supplied in sacks and has to be
measured, mixed and poured into a transfer wheel applicator. It is
important to wear a dust mask whilst handing the powder.

CEPTIONAL!
Impact XP Paint
WHY Impact XP
❚ Ready to use highly concentrate paint
❚ No added water
❚ No measuring, mixing or pouring
❚ Can over-mark a pitch* from just 1 litre of
paint
❚ Can be used on both grass, hard and
artificial surfaces
❚ Surface dry within 20 minutes under
normal conditions
* Standard sized football pitches
Over-mark up to
15 football pitches
without refilling!
Two pack choices of Impact XP are available...the environmentally
friendly 5 litre plastic Eco-bags or the 10 litre plastic container. The
paint delivery tube cap fits directly onto the screw fitting of both
containers.
The Eco-bag is manufactured using a high tensile strength, flexible
plastic and has special carrying handles for ease of handling. If there is
paint left in the bag after the operation, it can be re-sealed and used
the next time.
When empty, it is simply washed out, rolled up and disposed of as
normal household waste.
The Eco-Bag will over-mark up to 5 pitches* at the 1 litre per pitch
recommendation. The iGO machine can carry 3 Eco-bags so it would
be possible to over-mark 15 pitches or lay lines around the boundary of
a golf course without having to stop for frequent re-fills.
The 10 litre container will over-mark approximately 10 pitches* at the
1 litre per pitch recommendation.
* Standard sized football pitches

The introduction of the Impact system
is an environmental landmark
AwArded to
LinemArk Uk Ltd
Saves water
No measuring, no mixing and no pouring. Impact XP offers great saving in terms of time and labour –
enabling the busy groundsman to get on with other tasks. It is, however, the elimination of the need
for any water to be added to the paint that is its greatest saving.
Water is not only a precious commodity that should not be wasted, but is quickly, for many,
becoming an additional expense which will probably only increase in years to come.
As an example:
A standard sized football pitch, using traditional concentrate paints, diluted with water, requires at
least 400* litres of water over a 35 week football season. When this is multiplied by, say, 100 pitches
that may be marked out for, or by, a local authority, this volume of water increases to 40,000 litres
…ever year!
Taking the UK as a whole, and including other sports such as rugby, tennis, lacrosse, hockey, golf etc,
this amounts to millions of litres that could be saved by using Impact paints.

LITRES

The only water the Impact system uses is for flushing out the spraying equipment!
Saves energy
Labour is a valuable resource and groundsmen are always looking to be more time-efficient. If the
time spent on an operation such as line marking can be reduced to allow other important jobs to
be undertaken, such a saving will be worthwhile. Speed of marking is also important if pitches
need to be marked out in a short space of time.
Impact XP could over-mark 15 pitches from a fully loaded iGO machine without the need to stop
and refill. Traditional paints will mark just 2-3 pitches and have to return to base for refilling.

Applicators
WHY iGO
❚ Speed of getting started
❚ Flexibility of application
❚ Ease of maintenance
❚ Little contact with paint material
❚ No requirement for a water supply point
❚ Removable battery – flexible re-charging
A perfect partner with Impact XP paint, the iGO is suitable for a range
of playing surfaces including grass, sand-filled, sand-based or rubber
crumb synthetic turf, red gra and black ash.
New features include a new handle operated disc-lifting mechanism
that allows the operator to lift the marking discs off the target surface
without having to lift the front wheels. Groundsmen can prevent
unwanted paint marks when travelling between pitches by easily and
simply lifting the discs clear of the surface.
Another major innovation is the ‘plug and spray’ feature. This simple
but unique device allows the operator to just plug the machine’s paint
transfer tube directly into the paint pack and it’s ready to go. No
mixing, measuring or pouring and no operator contact with the paint.
The iGO can carry 3 x 5 litre Eco-bags, enough to over-mark up to 15
standard sized football pitches without the need to return to a water
supply point for refilling, mixing, measuring and pouring!
The Nozzle
A specially engineered nozzle has
been developed to match the
desired atomization characteristics of
the Impact XP paint. This integration of
paint formulation with nozzle design
and performance is a major advance
in line marking application.
The iGO features
‘Plug and Spray’ system
Finger operated disc-lifting feature
High pressure pump provides uniform
application
Adjustable handles to suit different
operator heights
Pneumatic tyres ease travel over
different surfaces
Non corrosive and rust proof frame

Smaller brother to the iGO marker, the Mini retains many of the
advanced features but is more compact and is ideal for clubs with
few pitches to mark or for sports that cover a smaller playing surface
such as tennis and some in-field athletic sports.
Lightweight and compact, the iGO Mini machine is simple to operate
and easy to maintain. A re-chargeable battery is supplied which can
either be charged on the machine or easily removed and taken to a
more convenient location.
Highly portable the compact size of the iGO Mini requires little effort
by the operator during the application process and can easily be
folded to fit into a car boot. When the marking operation is
completed the iGO Mini can be simply folded away for ease of
storage.
GLIDER
The original Impact
application system
spray marker
This multi-sprayer is simple to operate and maintenance
procedures are minimal. The Glider has been improved by the
fitting of a newly designed frontage providing better protection
for the spray nozzle.
The Impact Glider can carry 2 x 10 litre ready to use paint packs.

“
In 2013 we based our greens nutritional
programme around Rigby Taylor’s new
micro-granular fertilizer MicroLite Activ8.
Results were amazing. The flowability of the
product was excellent and provided a
superb spread pattern across the turf surface.
Alongside the Magnet Dynamic Granules, we
saw an immediate green-up effect and
achieved a great depth of root and surface
density.
Our fungicide programme, based around a
tank mix programme of Fusion, combined
with Tri-Mate and Magnet Rapide, has been
very effective with no sign of Fusarium
despite conditions that would stimulate an
attack.

non-peat compost
Green-Spread
A quality assured, recycled,
non-peat compost
WHY Green-Spread
❚ Fine graded, naturally sourced from plant
materials
❚ Environmentally friendly produced
product
❚ Consistent and guaranteed quality
specification
❚ BSI PAS 100 accredited high quality
compost
❚ BSI standards adopted by The
Composting Association
❚ A range of products available for flexibility
of use
❚ Ideal for groundsmen, landscapers and
local authorities
How Green-Spread works
Green-Spread high quality compost is produced totally by natural
means, with a period of rapid decomposition and self-heating (which
sanitises the material) continued by a cooler and slower decay of the
woodier organic matter. When this composting process is finally
completed, the product can be graded into different particle sizes
depending on the use required.
Green-Spread offers many benefits including:
✱ Increasing soil microbial activity
✱ Improving turf density and colour, encouraged by the presence of
slow release Nitrogen, Iron and Magnesium
✱ Plant disease suppression, due to beneficial soil micro-organisms
present
✱ Providing a large range of micronutrients e.g. Boron, Magnesium and
Manganese that have a vital role in many plant physiological
processes e.g. enzyme reactions and photosynthesis.
✱ Improving the soil structure by helping form larger pore spaces
resulting in improved oxygen aeration as well reducing the effects of
soil compaction, so improving drainage and reducing the problems
associated with water-logging.
✱ Increasing the Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) of the soil so
nutrients are made available for a longer period of time rather than
being easily leached away through the soil profile.
✱ Improving root growth and overall turf establishment but without
encouraging flush growth that can weaken the plant and make it
more susceptible to fungal disease.
Product range
Green-Spread can be used as a
straight compost and is available in a
range of screened particle sizes
depending on the use required.
Coarse grades are available which are
more suitable for use in landscaping
situations eg. amenity mulch (20-
40mm) and bark replacement mulch
(10-20mm), whereas the finer particle
grades are more suited for example for
use as a top dressing (0-8mm). The
compost specification details will vary
depending on the use.
In addition Green-Spread can be customised to the customer's own
specification, for example being mixed with other organic matter and
brought on site ready mixed for immediate use.
Green-Spread is available nationally, delivered as loose loads either as
the compost in its own right (cubic metres) or as a mixed product with
other materials (tonnes). Comprehensive specification sheets are
available for all products.
