Headland Weathercheck 

HEADLAND WEATHERCHECK USES THE LATEST FORECASTING TECHNOLOGY TAILORED SPECIFICALLY FOR THE TURF & AMENITY INDUSTRY 

Introducing Headland Weathercheck 

Headland Amenity have been providing 

general weather forecasts to their 

customers for the last five years, interpreting 

long-term weather patterns 

and 7-day forecasting data provided by 

Meteoblue, a specialist metereology 

company based in Basel, Switzerland. 

As this partnership developed, work began on developing a specific weather 

package tailored for the turf industry and incorporating up to date forecasting 

technology tailored to a specific location, such as a golf club or racecourse. 

The result of this partnership is Headland Weathercheck, due for launch in 

Spring 2011. 

Features of Headland Weathercheck 

Headland Weathercheck features a location specific weather forecast, 

incorporating four key modules; 

Module 1. General 7-day forecast 

This incorporates a daily weather summary showing low and high temperatures, 

wind speed and direction and projected precipitation in mm per day. 

Module 2. Detailed 7-day forecast (above) 

This breaks Module 1 down into 3-hour segments and graphically illustrates 

rainfall intensity and timing using SP✳T forecasting technology. This represents 

the location as the centre of a rain radar diagram. 

Module 3. 

RainNow location specific rainfall data 

Using SP✳T forecasting technology, 

RainNow produces a 25km radius, ‘rain 

radar’ map showing the past rainfall over 

the last two hours and the projected rainfall 

looking ahead for 90 minutes. The data 

is updated every 15 minutes. 

RainNow Explanation 

Diagram above shows heavy rain showers to the east of the forecast location 

Module 4. Agronomic Meteogram 

This module provides a detailed graphical summary looking ahead 7 days and 

importantly projects conditions for spraying based on anticipated rainfall, 

wind strength, high temperature and risk of frost.

Season long fertilisation from one application 

Fairway fertilisation is an expensive operation, both in terms of material cost 

and labour. 

Multigreen 425 month fertilisers provide cost-effective fairway fertilising in a 

single application, lasting a whole season, 

Both Multigreen 28-0-0 and 28-3-15 are formulated to release for 4 months at 

an average soil temperature of 21°c, but as the table indicates below, the 

average for March – September is closer to 14°c.

Multigreen Mini 12-0-44 Key Points 

• Three applications in one – autumn + winter + spring carryover 

• Homogeneous formulation – Nitrogen and potassium in each prill 

• Cool temperature potassium nitrate ‘fast start’ portion for quick 

response at low temperatures 

The release of nutrients from 

Multigreen is solely controlled by 

soil temperature. The lower the 

temperature, the longer the release. 

Taking this temperature data into 

account, Multigreen 425 month 

products last between 5 – 6 months 

in the U.K and Irish climate, with 

applications made in April feeding 

right through till September. 

• Temperature-only release mechanism 

• Sulphur free formulation 

• Environmentally friendly, leach resistant technology 

Three fertilisers for the price of one 

Headland Amenity have pioneered autumn application of Multigreen Mini 

12-0-44 controlled release fertiliser in order to achieve not just good winter 

greens, but also to provide a head start the following spring. 

Nutrient 

Core 

All Multigreen analyses contain an uncoated, ‘fast start’ portion, blended with 

a polymer-coated, controlled release prill. Following application, the coated 

Multigreen prill takes up moisture through pores in the polymer-resin coating. 

This ‘priming’ process takes 7 – 10 days with the initial release period covered 

by the immediately available, ‘fast start’ portion of potassium nitrate and / or 

ammonium sulphate, to provide quick turf response at low soil temperatures. 

Once the soil temperature reaches 6°c, release 

commences from the polymer coated portion 

of the product, in line with grass growth. The 

longevity of release is determined by the thickness 

of the polymer resin coat around the prill, - 

the thicker the coating, the longer the product 

lasts. Multigreen analyses are available in 4-5 

month (425) and 6-7 month (627) longevities. 

Controlled release potassium 

Application is made once soil temperatures have dropped below 10 °c to prevent 

any encouragement of disease, usually this would be around mid November. 

After application, 40% of the nitrogen and 40% of the potassium is immediately 

available to the grass plant, promoting strong, but hard winter growth due to 

the high potassium content. In addition to the controlled release nitrogen and 

potassium, Multigreen Mini 12-0-44 is sulphur-free, making it ideal for use on 

anaerobic rootzones where an accumulation of sulphur has been detected. 

Thereafter, the product only releases the remaining nitrogen and potassium 

according to soil temperature, stopping below 6°c during the cold winter 

period. In this dormant state, the nitrogen and potassium is protected from 

leaching by the polymer-resin coating. As the soil temperature rises the 

following Spring, nutrient release begins again, getting the greens off to a 

head start without the need to re-apply fertiliser. Burial retrieval trials conducted 

over winter has indicated that 50% of the nitrogen and potassium remained 

available the following spring to provide strong growth.

Headland Xtend Key Points 

• Unique slow release nitrogen, feeds for up to 3 months 

• Granular, soluble or liquid formulations for extra flexibility 

• Suitable for all coarse turf areas 

• Efficient use of nitrogen as loss to the atmosphere is limited 

How Xtend works 

Xtend Prill 

NBPT - Volatilisation Inhibitor 

DCD - Nitrification Inhibitor 

Urea Core 

100% stabilized nitrogen 

Xtend 46-0-0 Soluble contains Hydrexx in combination with micro-prilled urea 

to form a stabilized nitrogen, slow release fertiliser for use on golf course tees, 

approaches, surrounds, fairways and semi-rough. In addition, Xtend 46-0-0 

Soluble is ideally suited for use on sports pitches, race tracks and polo fields. 

Spray applied for maximum flexibility 

The micro-prilled urea in Xtend 46-0-0 Soluble offers excellent solubility and 

combined with Hydrexx (a water soluble powder containing NBPT and DCD) 

forms a unique water-soluble, slow release fertiliser that can be easily spray applied. 

Xtend 46-0-0 Soluble Key Points 

• 100% stabilized nitrogen 

• Micro-prilled formulation for rapid solubility 

• Low application rates from 20kg per hectare 

• Cost effective even compared to agricultural fertilisers 

• Increased nitrogen efficiency with enhanced safety and reduced leaching 

• Flexible tankmix solutions 

• Soluble slow release granules mean no pick-up 

• Safer for turf on areas without irrigation 

• Liquids are tank mixable with ‘Relay Turf’ or ‘Cabadex’ for ‘weed 

and feed’ applications 

Xtend 46-0-0 Granular Key Points 

• 100% stabilized nitrogen with no added carrier 

• Low application rates down to 10g/m 2 

• 10g/m 2 applies 46kg/ha of N which can last up to three months 

• Easy to see during application with rapid breakdown 

• Increased nitrogen efficiency with reduced leaching 

Xtend 22-2-8 Granular 

Xtend 46-0-0 Granular 

Each urea prill in Xtend contains two components 

to enhance the release of the nitrogen; 

NBPT - Prevents loss of ammonia nitrogen to the 

atmosphere by volatilisation, so more nitrogen is 

available in the soil. 

DCD – Slows down the conversion of ammonium to 

nitrate in the soil, maintaining the nitrogen in 

ammonium form. Ammonium nitrogen is held 

more efficiently in the soil because it binds to clay 

and organic matter.

Blaukorn® Quick Release Fertiliser 

FOR USE ON ALL COARSE TURF AREAS INCLUDING RACECOURSES, SPORTS PITCHES, GOLF COURSE FAIRWAYS AND ROUGH 

Multiverdo Miniprill 

MULTIVERDO 13-0-46 MINI-PRILLED POTASSIUM NITRATE, IDEALLY SUITED FOR PROMOTING GROWTH AT LOW SOIL TEMPERATURES, 

RECOVERY AFTER AERATION AND FOR USE IN ANAEROBIC SOIL SITUATIONS 

Blaukorn Key Points 

• Quick release outfield fertiliser 

• Homogeneous fertiliser for even response 

• Low rates mean cost effective application 

• Rapidly available nitrogen works at low soil temperatures 

Blaukorn 24-5-5+2MgO+5S+Micronutrients Key Points 

• High nitrogen analysis 

• Immediately available ammonium and nitrate nitrogen 

• Low application rate 

• Cost-effective formulation 

P

Mg K S 

Micronutrients 

Blaukorn Granule 

How Blaukorn works 

Each homogeneous Blaukorn granule contains all 

of the nutrients declared in the analysis ensuring 

even distribution after application. With no carrier 

and a highly-water soluble phosphorus content, 

Blaukorn breaks down quickly once it comes into 

contact with moisture. 

Blaukorn contains ammonium and nitrate, the two 

most available nitrogen forms for fast response at 

low soil temperatures. The potassium utilised in 

Blaukorn is potassium sulphate, which has a much 

lower salt index and therefore scorch risk than other 

forms of potassium, such as potassium chloride. 

Blaukorn 15-3-20+2MgO+10S+Micronutrients Key Points 

• High potassium analysis for spring or autumn usage 

• Immediately available ammonium and nitrate nitrogen 

• Potassium sulphate for enhanced turf safety 

• Cost effective formulation 

High analysis – low application rate flexibility 

Blaukorn 24-5-5 can be applied as low as 20g/m 2 and this still offers 48kg of 

nitrogen per hectare, - the equivalent to applying a traditional 9-7-7 analysis 

at over 50g/m 2 . A lower application rate means fewer bags applied per 

hectare, involving less storage, transportation and manpower. 

Optimum granule characteristics 

The granulation of Blaukorn has been refined, compared to the original 

Nitrophoska product and now 90% of the granules are between 2.0 – 4.0mm, 

with the average granule size range between 2.8 and 3.4mm. This provides 

optimum spreading characteristics whether applied through a pedestrian or 

tractor-mounted spreader. Granule breakdown is also exceptionally fast due to 

the use of more highly soluble raw materials. As an added benefit, the granules 

are dyed blue to increase visibility during application. 

Optimum nutrient package 

Both Blaukorn analyses feature immediately available ammonium and nitrate 

nitrogen, derived from ammonium nitrate and ammonium sulphate, to ensure 

a fast turf response even during cool spring and autumn temperatures. The 

phosphorus content is derived from phosphoric acid for quicker availability to 

the grass plant and the potassium from sulphate of potash for maximum turf 

safety. Blaukorn products also feature the important secondary plant nutrients 

- sulphur and magnesium as well as micronutrients, boron, iron and zinc. 

Low salt index 

Many outfield fertilisers utilise potassium chloride as their potassium source, 

but although cheaper, this has a higher scorch risk to the grass plant. Scorch 

risk is measured by the salt index of the fertiliser, - the higher the salt index, the 

higher the scorch risk. Potassium chloride has a salt index of 116, whereas 

potassium sulphate (the form used in Blaukorn) has a salt index of only 46 In 

practice this can be up to 60% safer to the grass plant. 

Blaukorn quick release fertiliser for use on golf tees, approaches, fairways, sports pitches, racecourses and general amenity turf 

Easy application with minimal disruption 

The easy to see, white micro-prills make application extremely straightforward 

and once applied, they quickly dissolve, eliminating pick up problems. 

Why Multiverdo Miniprill is beneficial for 

Black Layer 

The high oxygen and low sulphur content of 

Multiverdo Miniprill make it ideally suited for 

use in anaerobic conditions where soil 

oxygen levels are deficient. These conditions 

usually occur when a rootzone becomes 

waterlogged due to poor drainage, incompatible 

soil physical characteristics and/or 

accumulations of organic matter. When this 

occurs, oxygen is unable to move freely 

through the soil profile (Note–oxygen 

moves through water at only 1/10,000th of the rate it moves through air) and 

eventually the grass plant experiences a lack of oxygen known as hypoxia. 

Hypoxic stress is a growing feature of golf turf as our changing climate features 

heavy rainfall over short periods of time, severely testing the physical properties 

of rootzones. At the same time, the microbial balance in the soil shifts away 

from organisms that respire oxygen to those that use nitrate and/or sulphur 

(so called sulphur-respiring bacteria) leading to soil denitrification and the 

production of toxic hydrogen sulphide gas. To correct anaerobic conditions 

and hypoxic stress, a number of measures can be undertaken including; 

• The addition of nitrate nitrogen to counteract the process of 

denitrification 

• The addition of oxygen to raise the redox status of the soil and 

counteract Hypoxia 

• A reduction in sulphur input to deter sulphur-respiring soil bacteria 

The use of Multiverdo Miniprill as part of an overall strategy can help to meet 

the above requirements by providing chemical oxygen without additional 

sulphur as part of the fertiliser program. 

Multiverdo Miniprill 13-0-46 Key Points 

• 100% potassium nitrate – no carrier 

• Easy to see during application 

• Nitrate nitrogen for immediate plant availability with no sulphur 

• Ideally suited for use in black-layer situations 

• Micro-prilled formulation for ease of application and quick 

dispersal into the sward 

• Low application rates for cost-effective use 

Multiverdo Prill 

How Multiverdo works 

Each homogeneous Multiverdo prill contains 

straight potassium nitrate with no carrier and 

solubilises quickly on contact with moisture. The 

white prill is easy to see when applying and the 

Miniprill formulation ensures adequate coverage, 

even at low application rates. Once solubilised, 

Multiverdo breaks down into nitrate nitrogen and 

potassium ions, without requirement for bacterial 

conversion in the soil and is therefore immediately 

available to the grass plant.

FOR USE IN ALL FINE TURF SITUATIONS INCLUDING GOLF AND BOWLING GREENS 

Greentec Fertilisers Key Points 

• Conventional release, mini granular fertilisers for fine turf 

• Features a mix of nitrogen sources to ensure results 

under a wide range of conditions 

• Breaks down quickly to avoid disruption to play 

• Uniform granule size for even turf response 

• Lower scorch risk than with chloride based formulations 

• Suitable for golf and bowling greens 

Depending on the product, up to four different forms of nitrogen feature 

in Greentec fertilisers. This provides optimum response over a wider range 

of conditions. 

Naturvigor – Composted organic base 

The incorporation of a composted organic base to three new analyses in the 

Greentec range uses Naturvigor, an aerobically-composted cow manure, 

fortified with humic acid. The addition of this material to each analysis 

provides an organic nitrogen fraction, stimulates microbial activity and 

enhances root development. 

Slow-release organic potassium 

In some products, the potassium source is derived from Kali Vinasse, a potashrich 

sugar beet pulp. Bound in an organic complex, potassium is released 

slowly by microbial activity.

How Greentec works 

Each homogeneous Greentec analysis is carefully 

formulated to provide the nitrogen release curve 

suitable for its application. For use in cool temperatures, 

sulphate of ammonia, and or potassium 

nitrate are the chosen nutrient forms. Urea and 

methylene urea are incorporated in the analyses 

intended for use in the summer. Most of the 

Greentec formulations feature a composted 

organic base designed to stimulate soil microbial 

activity and add humic acid for enhanced root 

development and stress suppression. Cold 

processed seaweed is also utilised. Granulation is 

optimised for easy application, good coverage 

and fast breakdown on the turf surface. 

Rapid breakdown 

The granule is formulated to break down quickly after application, on contact 

with moisture, minimising disruption to play and maintenance practices such 

as grooming or scarifying. 

Where to use 

Greentec fertilisers 

Suitable for use on all fine turf 

areas including golf and bowling 

greens, and in professional

The 4-0-4+9Fe formulation features a 

balanced NK analysis and the economy 

of a lower potassium content than its 

predecessor. In addition to its mosskilling 

qualities, it is ideal for use as a spring 

starter or a low temperature hardener on 

all areas of amenity turf where prolonged 

colour, but not growth is required. 

Apply after cutting to allow the maximum time to treat the moss before 

re-cutting. Water-in if applied during dry, hot periods. Avoid applying during 

rainfall or frost. Remove from hard surfaces immediately to avoid staining. 

Greentec 6-5-18 provides excellent rapid response, even at low soil temperatures, 

producing sustained colour without soft, disease prone growth. It achieves 

this by utilising both ammonium and nitrate nitrogen in its formulation. Both 

are immediately available to the plant without the need for prior conversion 

in the soil by bacterial activity. 

Greentec 6-5-18 is ideal for use in the autumn/winter and also as a spring starter. 

Balanced analysis fits leachate research identified requirement. 

Many turf rootzones feature a high sand content as a result of initial construction 

or from accumulated top dressing. Leachate trials conducted by Headland 

Amenity and confirmed by soil analyses, show that after the winter, such 

Greentec 13-3-13+MgO+2.7% Humic Acid and Methylene Urea 

Greentec 13-3-13+MgO is formulated as a summer granular fertiliser to 

provide safe and sustained feeding, even during cool, wet periods of weather. 

The product features four different forms of nitrogen. The first, ammonium 

sulphate, provides the initial release and low-temperature response. This is 

enhanced to provide 6 weeks longevity, by three longer -term nitrogen forms, 

urea, methylene urea and organic nitrogen. Granule breakdown is rapid, 

minimising pick up and like the other Greentec analyses, the fine granulation 

allows low application rate flexibility, down to 15g/m 2 . 

Ideal for application Pre-Anthracnose Disease Period 

Greentec 13-3-13+MgO is ideally suited to a light-rate application in July, just 

prior to the main anthracnose disease pressure period to enhance growth and 

provide good levels of plant vigour. Research has shown that one of the most 

effective ways of preventing Anthracnose is to raise plant nitrogen levels just 

prior to the main disease period. 

Greentec Mosskiller Pro Key Points 

• Approved mosskiller for rapid control of moss in turf 

• Low nitrogen content for use in cool conditions 

• Potassium and iron aid turf hardening and 

disease resistance

How C-Complex works 

C-Complex is an organic mineral fertiliser formulated on an aerobically composted, 

cow manure base enriched with humic acids. This helps to stimulate soil 

microbial activity whilst enhancing root development and stress suppression. 

A cold processed seaweed extract is also used within the formulation. A 

micronutrient package is added to C-Complex to ensure a complete range of 

primary, secondary and micronutrients are available to the plant. Granulation 

is optimised for quick granule breakdown on the turf surface, without the normal 

tackiness associated with based on poultry manure. Odour levels are minimal. 

C-Complex not only contains humic acid and aerobically composted cow manure, 

but to provide a complete package, it also contains cold-temperature processed 

seaweed extract as well as balanced primary, secondary and micronutrients. 

Unique granule characteristics – Fast breakdown for fast response 

C-Complex utilises ‘soft granule’ technology which allows faster breakdown 

when in contact with moisture, without the tacky inter-phase typical of poultry 

manure based fertilisers. The result is minimal mower pick up and faster plant 

availability of nutrients, assuring a rapid response. 

High humic acid content 

Most poultry based organic fertilisers only contain trace levels of humic acid, 

typically in the region of 0.25–0.50%. C-Complex 4-3-4 contains 9.0% humic 

acid for encouragement of root and shoot development. 

Fully composted organic base = no nitrogen drawdown 

Non or only partly composted organic fertilisers rely on microbial activity to 

complete the process, utilising nitrogen from the rootzone to achieve this. In so 

doing, they deprive the plant of this important nutrient. C-Complex has a fully 

composted organic base that does not adversely affect nitrogen availability to 

the plant. 

C-Complex 7-0-7 +3CaO+2MgO Key Points 

• Balanced NK analysis 

• Ammonium nitrogen for low 

temperature release 

• Urea and organic nitrogen for 

enhanced safety 

• Composted cow manure base 

• Cold processed seaweed content 

• High humic acid content – 6.7% 

C-Complex 7-0-7+3CaO+2MgO 

Excellent low temperature nitrogen response – ideal as a spring starter 

C-Complex 7-0-7 contains both nitrate and ammoniacal nitrogen for excellent 

availability in cool temperatures. This is combined with urea and organic nitrogen 

providing gentle, extended release. The use of four different types of nitrogen 

makes C-Complex 7-0-7 ideally suited for use during the spring and summer. 

• High humic acid content 6.7% 

• Ammonium and nitrate nitrogen for fast turf response 

• Urea and organic nitrogen for extended, gentle release 

• Excellent for use as a spring starter 

C-Complex 4-3-4 +5CaO+3MgO – Specifically formulated for aeration 

C-Complex 4-3-4 was developed by Headland Amenity specifically for use at 

aeration and the formulation contains a number of key benefits to enable 

rapid recovery; 

• 87.5% of the nitrogen is derived from ammonium sulphate for immediate 

plant availability and rapid recovery 

• Formulation contains all primary, secondary and micronutrients, so no 

requirement for additional supplementation 

• 50% of the formulation is derived from composted cow manure designed 

to stimulate microbial populations 

• 9.0% humic acid content for enhanced stress suppression and root 

development 

• ‘Soft’ granule technology ensures fast breakdown and no surface tackiness

Headland N-Sure 28-0-0 and Trisert KS 15-0-12 both contain significant levels 

of 'Triazone' and provide a significantly greater longevity of response than when 

using quick-release liquids. N-Sure and Trisert KS are extremely safe and have an 

inherently lower scorch risk compared to other liquid and soluble fertilisers. 

This means that watering-in of Triazone based products is not necessary 

from a safety angle – unlike many other liquid fertilisers which may require 

supplementary irrigation. The slow release properties of Triazone provide 

gradual nitrogen availability to the plant, reducing the amount of clippings 

produced even when comparatively large amounts of nutrients are applied. 

How N-Sure & Trisert KS work 

N-Sure 28-0-0 and Trisert KS 15-0-12 both contain a slow release liquid nitrogen 

known as Triazone, (the chemical structure is shown on the right) After application, 

microbes break down the chemical bonds holding the Triazone nitrogen and 

make it slowly available to the grass plant. This process relies on temperature and 

therefore N-Sure and Trisert KS are primarily designed for summer application 

once soil temperatures are at or above 14°C. The slow release mechanism of 

Triazone provides excellent turf safety, even at temperatures up to 30°C.

Fertilisers Planning your NPK nutrient input 

INFORMATION 

INFORMATION 

Nutrient input charts 

TO ACCURATELY PLAN TURF FERTILISER INPUT IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW HOW MUCH ACTUAL NUTRIENT IS BEING APPLIED IN ANY 

GIVEN TREATMENT AND OVER THE COURSE OF A SEASON. THIS CAN BE CALCULATED IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS; 

Fertiliser analyses and inputs are 

expressed in elemental form for nitrogen 

(N), but in oxide form 

(P2O5 & K 2O) for phosphorus and 

potassium. 

To calculate actual elemental input; 

To convert P2O5 to elemental P 

- multiply by 0.44 

To convert K 2O to elemental K 

- multiply by 0.83 

This can be useful when considering 

other constituents of fertilisers. For 

example, many granular fertilisers 

contain high levels of sulphur (S) 

expressed in the oxide form (SO3). 

To convert SO3 to elemental S, 

– multiply by 0.4. 

WATER SOLUBLE FERTILISERS 

Water Soluble fertilisers are treated as 

granular fertilisers. 

However, where application rates are in 

kg / ha, use the following formula: 

LIQUID FERTILISERS 

Liquid fertilisers present a different 

challenge. It is essential to know 

the Specific Gravity (S.G.) of the 

product to work out nutrient content. 

To calculate the kg of nutrient 

being applied per hectare, use: 

Granular Fertilisers Formula 

To calculate the kg of nutrient applied per hectare, use; 

Application rate (in g/m 2 ) x % Nutrient content/10 

Example: 

An application of Multigreen 30-5-14 (6-7 month release) 

applied at 40g/m 2 

40 x 30/10 = 120kg of N per hectare 

40 x 5 /10 = 20kg of P2O5 per hectare 

40 x 14/10 = 56kg of K2O per hectare 

Water Soluble Fertilisers Formula 

Application rate (in kg/ha) x % nutrient content / 100 

Example: 

An application of Solufeed Hi-K 13-0-45 water soluble fertiliser 

applied at 40kg/ha. 

40 x 13/100 = 5.2kg N per hectare 

40 x 45/100 = 18kg K2O per hectare 

Liquid Fertilisers Formula 

Application rate (in litres per hectare) x Specific Gravity of 

the liquid = W and then 

W x % nutrient content/100 

Example: 

An application of 15-0-12 liquid applied at 100 litres per 

hectare. (S.G. = 1.36) 

100 x 1.36 (Specific Gravity) = 136 

136 x 15/100 = 20.4kg N per hectare 

136 x 12/100 = 16.3kg K2O per hectare

Dealing with nematode stress 

INFORMATION 

Seamac Ultra Plus - Bioactive Seaweed + Amino Acids 

INTENSIVELY MANAGED TURF IS HIGHLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO STRESS, ESPECIALLY IN OUR EVER CHANGING AND OFTEN EXTREME NORTHERN CLIMATE 

FOR USE IN ALL FINE AND COARSE TURF SITUATIONS INCLUDING GOLF AND BOWLING GREENS, TEES, FAIRWAYS, SPORTS PITCHES AND RACECOURSES 

Pathogenic nematodes have become a real issue in the European turf industry 

since the first symptoms of turf damage by plant parasitic nematodes (PPN’s) 

Seamac Ultra Plus Key Points 

were noted in 1997 by Mark Hunt, Technical Director of Headland Amenity. 

The cause was subsequently identified by Kate Entwistle (The Turf Disease 

Centre) and confirmed by research undertaken by Colin Fleming (Queen’s 

University, Belfast). The culprit was Meloidogyne minor, a new species of rootknot 

nematode that primarily infected creeping bentgrass greens and perennial 

ryegrass sports pitches. Over the last 5-10 years, numerous other types of PPN’s 

have been discovered in the UK and Europe, affecting both established and 

new rootzone turf. Among them, Root Gall (Subanguina radicicola), Cyst 

(Heterodera spp.), Spiral (Helicotylenchus spp.) and Stunt (Tylenchorhynchus 

spp.) nematodes have proved the most destructive. The activity of the nematode 

is mainly focussed on the root system. Whether the organism is an endoparasitic 

species (living within the root), like the Root-Knot nematode (Fig.1) or an 

ectoparasitic species (living outside of the root), like the Spiral nematode (Fig.2), the 

net effect is that the normal function of the root is compromised. 

Stress management 

Plant parasitic nematodes reduce the efficacy of the root system in terms of 

nutrient and water uptake, but there are often no visible symptoms. Typically, 

symptoms of nematode damage are absent until the grass plant suffers some 

form of stress. For example; 

1. Environmental Stress - Drought, high evapotranspiration (E.T), low light levels, 

poor growing conditions. 

2. Cultural - Reduced cutting height, heavy verticutting / Graden usage, 

incorrect roller usage 

3. Nutrient - Insufficient or excessive nitrogen fertility regime 

4. Pathogen complex – The grass plant is already weakened by the action of a 

pathogenic fungus. 

Pre-stress conditioning – maximising plant health prior to stress 

For many years, seaweed biostimulants have been utilised on turf, but it wasn’t 

until recently that research identified the exact, beneficial mechanism of these 

materials on the grass plant. It is now known that an application of the correct 

type and quantity of biostimulant, stimulates production of antioxidants which

Fig 2 - Ectoparasitic Spiral nematodes

in turn decrease free radical activity, minimising damage to the plant cells. Use 

of biostimulants can be beneficial in managing plant stress symptoms and in 

particular nematode stress. Research has highlighted a synergism between the 

use of cold temperature extract seaweeds and the correct input level of humic 

acid. Headland Amenity have used these research findings as the basis for their 

biostimulant - Turfcomplex (featured on page 24) and suggest applying this 

product in combination with TriCure AD soil surfactant on a monthly basis, 

beginning in March. 

Post nematode damage – 

Managing a grass sward showing nematode damage 

If a plant is already damaged by stress, there is a need to try to stimulate recovery 

of new root and shoot tissue. As with pre-stress conditioning, there are a number 

of materials that help achieve this, either by providing the building blocks of 

plant growth, ( the case with amino acids), or by stimulating the plant’s natural 

defence mechanism (SAR) using plant elicitors such as Harpin or Phosphite. To 

achieve recovery from stress it is important that along with applications of such 

materials, the correct cultural processes are adopted to increase the plant’s 

recuperative ability. Both these areas are dealt with in depth in the technical 

article available from Headland Amenity – ‘Dealing with Nematode Stress’. 

Typical turf damage by pathogenic nematodes 

The bioactive seaweed extract is processed soon after harvesting to maintain 

the natural goodness present and independent tests have shown it is especially 

high in gibberellic acid – a known plant growth hormone. 

Amino acid content 

The benefits of using seaweed extracts as foliar and root drench applications are 

well established on sports turf, but with Seamac Ultra Plus, the formulation 

is greatly enhanced by the presence of plant available amino acids. 

Amino acids are involved in numerous functions that facilitate healthy plant 

growth including shoot and root development, nitrogen transfer within the plant, 

chlorophyll production and protection against pathogens to name but a few. 

Enhanced growth in stress situations 

When a plant is growing normally, it uses energy produced during the photosynthetic 

process to produce amino acids. However, when it is under stress, the 

efficiency of this process can be severely reduced leading to a decrease in the 

amount of amino acids produced. 

Application of amino acids from an external source, (e.g. Seamac Ultra Plus) when 

a plant is under stress, stimulates growth and recovery. Fundamental building 

blocks necessary to facilitate growth are provided, with no need for the plant to 

expend energy that is already in short supply. 

Foliar application of amino acids 

Plants are able to absorb amino acids through the leaves. However if the 

molecular weight of the amino acid is too great (>400 Daltons), this process is 

inefficient. The average molecular weight of the amino acids present in 

Seamac Ultra Plus is 130 Daltons and this allows them to be absorbed in a few 

hours, penetrating the cell membrane and rapidly becoming incorporated in 

the metabolic routes of protein synthesis. Foliar application is especially effective 

in stimulating chlorophyll production when the plant is under stress as the plant 

can struggle to manufacture amino acids of its own. 

Root application of amino acids 

The low molecular weight of the amino acids in Seamac Ultra Plus, are also 

capable of absorption by plant roots.

Synergistic formulation 

Turfcomplex exploits the synergistic effect of Algifol - a cold temperature 

manufactured bioactive seaweed, combined with high levels of plant active 

humic acids to meet the twin objectives of improved root mass and reduced 

plant stress. When a plant is under stress, toxic molecules known as free radicals 

can be produced, which if left to accumulate, damage plant pigment production 

causing bleaching and cell membrane damage. Research has shown that 

application of a bioactive seaweed in combination with humic acid can stimulate 

the plant to produce antioxidants that prevent the accumulation of free 

radicals by reacting with them to produce non-harmful compounds. 

High humic acid content 

Turfcomplex contains high levels of humic and fulvic acids in order to promote 

root growth and reduce plant stress. At 40 litres per hectare, Turfcomplex 

applies the research identifed optimum rate of 1.75kg / Ha of Humic Acid. 

Elevated manganese content for enhanced root strength and 

disease suppression 

Manganese availability has been linked with a 

number of turfgrass diseases, notably Take-All 

Patch and latterly Grey Leaf Spot. These diseases 

are thought to convert manganese to a form that 

is unavailable to the plant and in so doing, 

increase the plant’s susceptibility to disease. 

Manganese is linked to lignin biosynthesis and 

therefore low levels in the root may limit root 

lignin content and thereby increase the plants 

susceptibility to root diseases, like Take-All. Turfcomplex is formulated to apply 

0.47kg / Mn / Ha @ 20L / Ha. 

Fully chelated micronutrient package 

Turfcomplex contains a full spectrum of micronutrients in EDTA chelated 

form to maximise availability in alkaline rootzones. Chelates are compounds 

that bind tightly to specific nutrient molecules and thereby prevent them 

from reacting with other elements in the soil and becoming unavailable.

Over the last 40 years, changing weather patterns have affected the autumn 

season the most, with climate data indicating that this period is consistently 

warmer than in the past. This change brings both positives and negatives to 

turf management with a longer playing season, but more aggressive autumn 

disease activity, Fusarium in particular. The image on the right shows warm 

air distribution over Europe in late October 2009, caused by a weather 

phenomenon known as a ‘Blocking Event’, that affects the shape of the jet stream. 

This weather pattern was also repeated in the 1st week of November 2010. 

Weather conditions like these have made it harder to manage Fusarium 

because of the increased speed and intensity of disease attack. 

Maximising Plant Health 

In order to counter this increase in Fusarium activity, without relying solely on 

repeated fungicide applications, Headland Amenity have pioneered an 

agronomic approach to disease management. This approach is based on 

increased plant health and utilises preventative applications of the above 

plant elicitors and plant hardeners, applied prior to the main disease period. 

In addition to positive field feedback from end-users, the efficacy of this strategy 

is backed up by data from independent trials, conducted at the Sports Turf 

Research Institute. 

S.T.R.I Trial Data 

Trials conducted over 2009/2010 showed significant disease reduction by 

utilising a tankmix combination of; 

20kg Solufeed NK 15-0-25 + 20L Turfite + 20L Liquid Turf Hardener + 30L 

Seamac Proturf in 400L water per hectare. The graph below shows the efficacy 

of the above tankmix in green vs. untreated in red.

Plant Protectants 

Formulated to increase cell wall thickness and thereby make it more difficult 

for pathogenic fungi to enter the plant. Headland products in this category 

include Seamac Proturf, Liquid Turf Hardener and the high potassium liquid 

and water soluble fertilisers, Vertex K, Solufeed NK and Solufeed Hi-K. 

Plant Elicitors 

Formulated to trigger the natural defence mechanism of the plant, (SAR – 

Systemic Acquired Resistance) and thereby encourage the plant to grow 

better in the presence of a pathogen. Headland products in this category 

include Turfite and TeMag HPE.

Phosphite (as opposed to phosphate) is a form of phosphorus that has some 

unique properties when applied as a fertiliser. It is extremely mobile within the 

plant and once absorbed undergoes an oxidation process that provides a 

continual release of soluble phosphorus. 

Secondly, phosphite, unlike phosphate, does not react with calcium in high 

pH, alkaline rootzone situations, to be rendered unavailable to the grass plant. 

Lastly and most importantly, phosphite triggers the plant’s own immune system, 

providing benefits of stress resistance and improved overall plant health, 

particularly during periods of high disease pressure. 

How to use 

Turfite can be used in a tank mix combination with Solufeed Hi-K and / or 

Seamac ProTurf to provide a perfect low temperature tonic for the Autumn / 

Winter and Spring. 

In addition, the readily available form of phosphorus in Turfite is ideally suited 

for use in over-seeding situations and after aeration to stimulate new root 

development. 

Turfite is tank mix compatible with most Headland liquid products and many 

turf fungicides. (Please contact Headland for further details)

Conclusive DewCure research data 

It is clear that surface moisture plays an important part in the ‘disease triangle’ 

In a second study, levels of anthracnose were measured after applications 

of DewCure. 

• Reduces leaf moisture, suppressing dew and guttation fluid 

formation 

of host – pathogen – environment. Adapting the environment by maintaining 

drier turf, especially in times of expected disease pressure, helps to reduce the 

incidence of disease. Field trials and end-user feedback in the UK and Ireland

DewCure increases the formation of ice crystals on the plant leaf rather than 

Guttation fluid 

Guttation fluid is water secreted on to the surface of leaves through specialized 

pores, known as hydathodes. The process occurs most frequently during 

conditions of high humidity when the rate of transpiration is low. Drops of 

water found on grass in early morning are often the result of guttation, rather 

than dew. (Guttation should not be confused with dew, which condenses 

from the atmosphere onto the plant surface).

DewCure is significantly different from untreated control on all dates. 

DewCure applications made at 14 d intervals beginning May 16. 

In the absence of any fungicides, an adequate level of control (i.e. less than 

10% disease) was observed in the DewCure-treated plots early in the disease 

cycle at a time when the level of disease in the untreated checks (60%) had far 

exceeded an acceptable level. Although the level of disease rose in the 

DewCure-treated plots over the course of the summer, it never reached the 

Longevity 

The longevity of DewCure is a function of two main factors – the rate of mowing 

frequency (removing leaf tissue treated with DewCure) and the growth 

rate following application. 

Best results are obtained prior to or during colder spells of weather when the 

level of clipping removal and new growth / leaf formation is at its lowest. Trials 

have shown that DewCure provides from 1 week to 3 weeks longevity 

depending on the factors mentioned above.

conditions conducive to high leaf 

moisture levels and therefore by 

reducing this level, disease activity is 

suppressed. DewCure can be used on 

all types of turf including golf greens, 

approaches, tees and fairways, cricket 

squares and winter sports pitches. 

Application Notes 

It is important not to exceed the water volume shown and to apply to dry turf. 

Allow DewCure to thoroughly dry on the leaf surface prior to irrigation or rainfall. 

DewCure was significantly different from untreated check on all dates. 

All applications made at 14 d intervals beginning September 2. 

DewCure significantly suppressed dollar spot by 75% or more during the 

course of the study when compared to the untreated control. The level of 

control provided by DewCure in this trial was statistically the same as the level 

of control provided by the standard contact fungicide included in the study. 

The authors noted no difficulty mixing or spraying DewCure and no 

phytotoxicity was observed. 

level of disease in the untreated checks and remained significantly lower on 

all rating dates. 

DewCure maintains dry surfaces prior to Aeration and top-dressing 

All aspects of aeration and top-dressing become more difficult if the operations 

have to be carried out on wet greens. Top-dressing sticks to the leaf instead of 

moving down into the turf surface and causes damage to mower cutting 

blades. In addition, core harvesting is both a longer and messier process when 

the turf surface is damp or wet. 

Using DewCure before aeration or topdressing can reduce the problems 

associated with the process by eliminating turf moisture caused by dew and 

guttation. The drier surface allows faster and cleaner aeration and quicker

return to ideal playing conditions after topdressing by enabling sand to better 

work into the turf canopy, rather than sticking to the leaf. 

Application 

Use DewCure at its normal rate of 6L/ha in 400L of water. (It is important to 

maintain a 1.5% dilution) 

Make a pretreatment application 1-2 days before aeration and/or topdressing. 

The shorter the interval between application and aeration, the better the 

results. 

DewCure will continue to suppress dew and frost for a period of time after the 

operation (duration will be dependent on grass removal by mowing and / or 

new growth emergence).

Naturvigor - Composted cow manure and humic acid soil conditioner 

FOR USE IN ALL COARSE TURF SITUATIONS INCLUDING GOLF TEES, FAIRWAYS, SPORTS PITCHES AND RACECOURSES 

Naturvigor Key Points 

• Fairway grade formulation 

• 1-1-1 analysis with added iron and micronutrients 

• Free-flowing granule, easy to apply, with rapid particle breakdown 

• Humic acid content aids root development & germination 

• Fully composted for maximum benefit to soil 

• Improves soil nutrient retention and maximises fertiliser efficacy 

• Ideal for use during renovation and overseeding 

The high organic matter (32.5%) and humic acid (18.1%) content make this 

product ideal for use on impoverished, sandy soils. Naturvigor also contains a 

comprehensive range of micronutrients. 

The 1% iron content is complexed by humic acids to ensure long term availability. 

Aerobic composting 

A two stage composting process is used to produce Naturvigor. Firstly, the 

cow manure is turned frequently, over a period of 5–7 months to input 

oxygen, regulate temperature and encourage aerobic decomposition. Then 

the final phase of composting takes place under cover, to protect the beneficial 

bacteria present from the harmful effects of UV rays. 

Humic acids with a high fulvic acid fraction (for 

maximum availability) are then added to the mixture 

prior to granulation. 

The effects of using Naturvigor 

Application of Naturvigor imparts a number of benefits 

to impoverished soils including: 

• Improved organic matter recycling (by introducing 

actinomycetes, the micro-organisms responsible for 

thatch breakdown) 

• Increased nutrient retention, thereby maximising the effects of fertiliser 

applications. 

• Increased soil micro flora. 

Where to use Naturvigor 

Naturvigor can be used for application to golf course fairways, semi-rough 

and rough areas and also on winter season pitches, race courses, polo grounds 

and in professional lawn care. 

The product is ideal for use during Spring and Autumn renovation and overseeding. 

Unlike ordinary composted green waste material, the free-flowing particles of 

Naturvigor are easily spread using conventional spreaders and are ideally suited 

for application through Vicon and Amazone fairway equipment.

INFORMATION 

Throttle 

COMBATING FUSARIUM OVER THE AUTUMN AND WINTER 

THROTTLE HAS BEEN SPECIFICALLY DEVELOPED TO PROVIDE ULTIMATE CONTROL OF FUSARIUM PATCH IN ALL MANAGED TURF AREAS 

Fusarium 

A strategy to manage Fusarium should not be 

based on fungicide alone as the severity and 

impact of this disease is also affected by the 

health of the grass plant, its level of nutrition, 

cultural practices and the presence of plant 

leaf moisture (dew and guttation fluid). 

Headland Amenity has pioneered a multi-layered, 

straight-forward and above all, cost-effective 

approach to Fusarium management using 

targeted applications of preventative fungicide 

in combination with plant elicitors. This 

approach is based on end-user feedback, 

backed up by independent data from trials 

conducted at the Sports Turf Research Institute. 

Disease development pattern & 

fungicide timing 

To prevent Fusarium establishing in the 

autumn and being a recurring issue thereafter, 

it is critical to control the initial establishment 

phase of the disease. This typically takes 

place in the U.K during early October and 

extends to mid November as shown in the 

graph (top right). In Ireland, this process starts 

3-4 weeks earlier. 

Temperature in o c 

% Microdochium Nivale infection in plot 

It is during this period that the disease has the potential to establish a high 

population and if allowed to do so, achieving control through fungicide use is 

both difficult and expensive. 

Disease activity can commence at any point in the autumn calendar. In 2008 

for example, after the extremely wet August, disease kicked off during that 

month and remained throughout the autumn. Ordinarily Headland Amenity 

has noted aggressive, potentially scarring activity to take place from the 

beginning of October onwards as the graph shows in autumn 2009. This usually 

coincides with high night temperatures and / or heavy dews and so it is 

important to apply prior to this period.

If soil temperatures are below 12ºC at the time of the 2nd application, 

Headland Amenity suggest adding half rate iprodione with the Throttle and 

Temag HPE tankmix. 

S.T.R.I trial data (see graph above) 

Fusarium trials conducted over the autumn / winter 2008/9 showed a significant 

benefit in disease suppression by utilising the tankmix combination of 

Throttle and TeMag HPE.. 

50% 

Winter use of Throttle 

Throttle combines two highly active fungicides, each with a different mode of 

action – Prochloraz, a translaminar, and Tebuconazole, a systemic. Together 

they provide a high level of disease control in all types of established turf. 

Stand-alone treatments of Throttle have proven to be successful even under 

the cool conditions of late autumn and early spring. Where growth is limited 

by temperature, a systemic/contact mix featuring iprodione with Throttle can 

be used on a 3-4 week interval. 

Where to use 

Throttle is approved for use on managed amenity turf including sports-turf 

such as golf greens and tees, bowling greens and sports pitches, as well as 

lawns (in commercial and residential situations). Apply Throttle to established 

turf only. 

When to use 

Apply Throttle as soon as disease symptoms appear, or in the early stages of 

disease development. Alternatively, preventative application may be made 

before the onset of disease. Repeat once if necessary with an interval of at 

least 14 days. 

Do not apply when the turf is under stress such as drought, waterlogging or 

extremes of hot or cold temperatures. 

How to use 

Throttle can be applied using standard powered spray equipment or pedestrian 

walkover type equipment. Half fill the spray tank with clean water add the 

required quantity of Throttle and begin agitation. Add the remainder of the 

water. Maintain agitation during spraying. Always apply after cutting and do 

not mow for at least 24 hours. 

Systemic fungicide choice 

Where turf is rapidly growing and being mowed, duration of protection may 

be affected where leaf penetrant only fungicides are used. 

Throttle is an ideal choice of product under these conditions as part of the 

formulation can be taken into the plant via its roots and moves upwardly to 

rapidly protect from within. This provides longevity of effect even when 

clippings are removed by mowing. 

It is important to rotate different active ingredients to minimise the risk of 

resistance building up within the target organism. It is not advisable to reduce 

the rate of systemic fungicides as part of a systemic / contact tankmix, as this 

may increase the risk of resistance to that active ingredient and will also shorten 

the longevity of protection.

and industrial areas. 

Clover will be killed by application of Blaster. Do NOT spray in drought, very 

hot or very cold conditions. Occasionally, some yellowing of the sward may be 

seen following treatment, this is quickly outgrown. Avoid damage and drift 

onto susceptible crops or waterways. All conifers, especially Pine and Larch are 

very sensitive to spray drift. Refer to product label for complete application 

information.

Relay Turf has justifiably become a market leader due to its superior effectiveness 

in amenity situations. 

It is highly active against a wide range of broad leaved weeds in both fine and 

coarse turf. 

Relay Turf contains 200g/L Mecoprop-P, 200g/L MCPA and 25g/L Dicamba 

Application 

Apply when soil is moist and weeds are actively growing. Most weeds will be 

controlled by a single application, however certain species and weeds that 

have over-wintered or have become hardened by cold weather or poor growing 

conditions may be less susceptible, and need re-treatment. 

General 

A nitrogen fertiliser application, 7-14 days before treatment will aid weed control. 

Do not apply to grass suffering from drought, during freezing conditions or 

when rain is imminent. Newly sown or turfed areas should not be treated in 

the year of establishment. Maximum number of treatments per year - 2. 

Weed and feed treatment 

Relay Turf can be tank mixed with Headland Xtend soluble and liquid fertilisers 

to feed turf and kill weeds in one application.

Optimum Timing of Application 

Spray when actively growing but preferably before 

flowering (normally up to mid June) 

Treat in the spring when the docks are in the rosette stage 

up to 25cm high. If the grass has been cut leave for 2-3 

weeks to allow sufficient re-growth to occur before spraying. 

On large well established docks, or where there is a high 

resevoir of seed in the soil, a second dose the following 

year may be required. 

Spray when actively growing but before flowering spikes 

are 15cm high. For thistles beyond this stage the rate 

should be increased to 4.0L/ha. Applications of BLASTER 

flowering or during seeding is likely to produced reduced 

levels of control. If grass has been cut treat 2-3 weeks after 

cutting when sufficient re-growth has occurred. 

Spray in June -August when actively growing but before 

plants begin to senesce in the autumn. It is essential that , 

particularly with large bushes, all the foliage is thoroughly 

wetted or incomplete kill may result. 

Cabadex is effective against a wide range of weeds 

including difficult to control species such as Yarrow 

and Daisy. 

Control is achieved using very low rates of active 

ingredients, making Cabadex the obvious choice for 

SAFE and environmentally sensitive weed management 

in the UK. 

Mode of action 

Cabadex combines two active ingredients with 

different modes of action. 

Fluroxypyr is an auxinic herbicide that enters plants 

via the leaves and disrupts normal growth functions. 

Florasulam however, can enter via the roots as well as the foliage, helping to 

ensure complete distribution throughout the plant. 

Application equipment 

Cabadex can be applied through tractor mounted hydraulic sprayers or knapsack 

sprayers as MEDIUM spray as defined by the BCPC system. 

Areas of use 

Cabadex can be used on areas of managed amenity turf or amenity grassland. 

This includes golf courses, winter sports pitches, racecourses and professional 

lawn care as well as airfields, roadside verges and embankments. 

Safe on young turf 

The product can be used on newly sown turf from the two leaf stage for 

spring or summer sowings. A good covering of grass should be present before 

application. 

Application notes 

Apply when weeds are actively growing (normally between March and 

October). Do not apply in periods of drought unless irrigation is applied. 

Re-seeding can take place as little as 4 weeks after application. Clippings from 

grass treated with Cabadex can be safely used for mulch after the third cut. 

Use of Cabadex is not subject to LERAP restrictions. Where Broad-Leaved 

Plantain is present in addition to the target weeds, apply a tank mix of Cabadex 

at 2 litres/ha + 2 litres/ha of an amenity approved 2,4-D amine product. 

Cabadex contains 144g/l (14.5% w/w) fluroxypyr methyl heptylester (100g/l 

acid equivalent) and 2.5 g/l (0.25% w/w) florasulam.

Glyfos® Dakar Pro 

DAKAR PRO IS A UNIQUE, WATER SOLUBLE GLYPHOSATE TECHNOLOGY FOR EFFECTIVE TOTAL WEED CONTROL 

Natural Weed Spray No.1 

THE FIRST NATURAL BASED NON- SELECTIVE HERBICIDE FOR AMENITY & INDUSTRIAL WEED CONTROL IN THE UK. 

NOW APPROVED FOR MOSS CONTROL ON HARD SURFACES 

Glyfos® Dakar Pro Key Points 

• Highest load glyphosate for enhanced performance 

• Clean label - no hazard symbols 

• Unique soluble granule formulation in easily disposable plastic bags 

• Safer and easy to use 

• 97% reduction in packaging 

• No triple rinsing or disposal of containers required 

• Can be applied through CDA applicators 

• Each pack will treat up to 40,000m2. Pack Size: 10kg 

Waste packaging 

Dakar Pro gives a massive 97% reduction in waste 

packaging compared to standard glyphosate products. 

In addition, as the product does not require triple 

rinsing, there are significant time savings compared to 

liquid formulations. Working on 2 minutes to triple 

rinse an ordinary glyphosate container - a pallet of 

empty containers would take over 5 hours to triple 

rinse in order to comply with waste regulations. 

How to use the product 

Glyfos Dakar Pro is easily measured out with a calibrated jug. The cold water 

soluble grains dissolve readily and there is no mess with dripping cans or spillage. 

Natural Weed Spray from Headland Amenity is the 

first NATURAL non-selective herbicide for amenity 

and industrial weed control in the UK. The active 

ingredient – acetic acid – has been formulated from 

the highest food grade product and developed to 

produce a formulation suitable for controlling a wide 

range of weeds and grasses. 

What is it? 

Natural Weed Spray contains 240g/litre acetic acid as 

a soluble concentrate. Acetic acid occurs naturally 

through fermentation processes and breaks down to water, so is safe to the 

environment. It is the first herbicide to be approved for use on hard surfaces 

in the UK for many years. 

Natural Weed Spray No.1 Key Points 

• Contains acetic acid - one of only two active ingredients approved for 

hard surfaces 

• Will control mosses on hard surfaces 

• Fast acting – weeds die 1-2 days after treatment 

• Use with glyphosate in a rotation programme on hard surfaces 

• Formulated from a naturally occuring ingredient 

• Can be used year round Pack Size: 10L 

MAPP No. 12328. 

Dakar Pro is a dust free, extruded, water soluble granule with excellent 

handling characteristics. 

The granules dissolve easily and are completely cold water soluble. Each 10kg 

pack will treat up to 40,000m 2 (4 hectares). The design of the resealable packs 

ensures that they can be emptied completely with no rinsing.

How does it work? 

Natural Weed Spray is a non-selective herbicide with extremely fast activity 

and is active against most soft plant tissue it comes in contact with. It controls 

both grasses and broad-leaved weeds. The product produces discolouration 

and browning of the foliage within a few hours of treatment and during warm 

sunny weather most plants die within 1-2 days. The product can be used year 

round. Perennial weeds generally require more than one application to control 

but annual weeds are usually controlled with one treatment. 

Areas of use 

Natural Weed Spray can be used to control weed growth in amenity situations 

such as footpaths and pavements, parks, around trees, shrubs and hedges and 

in industrial areas such as railways, industrial sites and fence lines etc. It is 

approved for moss control on hard surfaces such as footpaths and tennis 

courts. Unlike other moss killers for hard surfaces, Natural Weed Spray No1 will also 

control weeds and grass as well, eliminating the need for a separate application. 

Application 

Apply the spray so that leaves and stems are fully wetted before run-off. As the 

product works by contact action it is important that the weed is fully covered 

otherwise there will be partial control. The product is not translocated within 

the plant and therefore is safer to use around trees, shrubs and other valuable 

plants. Repeat treatment as required. 

Mixing 

Mix 1 part Natural Weed Spray to 3 parts of clean water. For example in a 16 

litre knapsack sprayer mix 4 litres of Natural Weed Spray to 12 litres of water in 

the following manner: 

• Half fill spray tank with clean water 

• Add the required amount of Natural Weed Spray 

• Fill the tank with more clean water to the required level 

• Agitate before use 

Weather 

The product can be used year round. Applications made in cooler months will 

take longer to work. In warm sunny weather most weeds will die within 1-2 

days. Apply the product on a dry day. Rain, soon after spraying, may wash 

spray off the foliage leading to poor results. 

Subsequent planting 

As there are no residual effects with the product in the soil, sowing and planting 

may be undertaken as soon as the weeds have died.

A ‘weed’ is commonly explained as a ‘plant out of place’. Their presence in 

amenity situations is often detrimental in a number of ways. 

Selective herbicides can eliminate broad leaved weeds in turfgrass without 

damaging the grass itself. They need to be controlled as; 

• They can ruin the aesthetic appearance of carefully manicured turf areas. 

• Weeds affect wear tolerance and often result in sparse, muddy surfaces. 

• Weed presence can greatly impact on the playing surface by affecting ball 

roll characteristics 

• Broad leaved weeds compete with desirable grasses for nutrients, water 

and light and can affect the health and vigour of the sward. 

• They produce huge quantities of seed that can spread weed into previously 

clean areas. 

Total herbicides are non-selective and used where all vegetation is to be 

removed. Often used on hard surfaces, amenity areas, highways and industrial 

sites, total herbicides will control grasses, broad-leaved weeds and some will 

control moss as well, e.g. Natural Weed Spray. 

Getting the best out of Headland herbicides 

1. Read the product label carefully taking into account any statutory requirements. 

Take note of timing issues. Most weeds are best controlled when they are 

young and actively growing. 

2. Conversely most weeds are poorly controlled in periods cold or drought 

where lack of growth will result in poor weed control. 

3. Take note of water spray volumes. There are often regulatory reasons not to spray 

below the minimum water volume per area. Poor weed control may occur at 

low water volumes because of inadequate spray coverage of the target weeds. 

4. Spraying at higher water volumes will help where weeds are large. However, 

ensure that run - off does not occur as this may result in poor control 

5. Regular calibration of your sprayer is important to ensure correct 

application rates

ACHIEVING CONSISTENT GRASS GROWTH IN SPRING 

RESULTS THROUGH RESEARCH 

Spring can be a problematic time for achieving 

consistent grass growth, with both a lack of soil 

temperature and moisture being potentially 

growth limiting factors. Climate analysis over the 

last 45 years has shown a trend for the spring to 

become warmer and drier with a quicker transition 

into summer temperatures, particularly during the 

daytime. April can be one of the hardest months to 

achieve consistent grass growth on fine turf and 

since this often coincides with planned or recently 

carried out aeration, achieving recovery can be 

an issue.

about coming out of the winter well. Maintaining

Key Rainfall Soil Temperature Growth Initiation Strong Growth 

just after Christmas is key, taking advantage of appropriate weather windows. 

Additional benefits can be gained by the application of a controlled release

spring carryover and reduce the requirement to push grass growth.

applications early 

To ensure that the rootzone is 

receptive to light irrigation 

and / or rainfall, it is vitally 

To irrigate or not to irrigate ? 

During dry springs, it is the surface layer of the rootzone, typically the top 2” 

(5cm) that dries out and therefore only light syringing irrigation patterns or 

localised hand-watering is necessary to rectify the problem. There is often a 

concern over potential reduction of soil temperature and therefore growth, 

by early irrigation. However, field trials conducted by Headland Amenity 

have shown this affect to be short-lived, lasting only 1-2 hours at most. 

Indeed, failure to rectify surface dessication can lead to growth suppression 

in its own right due to a lack of water needed for nutrient uptake. A stressed 

Poa annua plant can hasten the commencement of seedhead formation 

under such conditions. 

important to apply TriCure AD 

early in the year before the 

rootzone begins to dry out, as 

prevention is always better 

than cure when dealing with 

hydrophobicity. The unique multi-surfactant properties of TriCure AD ensure 

that any water applied by irrigation or falling as rain, will penetrate the dry 

upper region of the rootzone and be distributed evenly through the profile. 

Headland Amenity suggests commencing applications in early to Mid-March at 

7 – 10 litres per hectare and repeat on a monthly basis, ideally combined with 

a bioactive biostimulant, such as Turfcomplex to reduce plant stress levels.

TriCure AD soil surfactant has been trialled extensively in the field and at 

independent universities, to demonstrate the benefits of its multi-surfactant 

chemistry. The results shown below prove how TriCure AD optimises rootzone 

moisture content, without creating excess in the surface and at the same 

time requires less water to be applied in order to reach field capacity. 

Increased irrigation efficiency 

The multi-surfactant chemistries of TriCure AD ensure that water applied 

through irrigation systems or falling as rain, penetrates the naturally 

hydrophobic surface fibre layer and is distributed uniformly through the 

profile. This means that less water is lost through run-off and therefore the 

amount of water required to reach volumetric capacity is lower. The trial 

results shown on the right indicate that 6mm of irrigation is required to reach 

rootzone field capacity when treated with TriCure AD compared to 12mm 

when untreated. That’s 50% less water required. See graph below.

Improved dry-down characteristics 

Getting water to drain quickly can positively affect growing and playing 

conditions. Use of TriCure AD can increase the speed of drainage resulting in 

faster soil surface dry-down characteristics and a more rapid return to play after 

rain or irrigation. TriCure AD works by attaching to soil particles, reducing the 

surface tension of water, and attracting a thin film of water close to the particle 

surface. This allows optimum moisture retention for plant uptake, whilst 

facilitating effective drainage and release of excessive water. See graph right. 

Fairy Ring Type 

Rate of Heritage® Rate of TriCure AD 

Why TriCure AD is the best surfactant tankmix partner for fairy ring control 

TriCure AD contains three separate soil surfactant technologies within one 

formulation to counteract hydrophobicity on sand, soil and organic matter. 

This is important because superficial fairy ring tends to be active in the surface 

thatch layer and so having a surfactant technology that counteracts 

hydrophobicity in organic matter is essential. Type I and II fairy rings tend to be 

active deeper down the soil profile and this may be sand, soil dominated, or in 

fact like most golf greens, a mixture of sand, soil and organic matter. In this 

scenario, TriCure AD’s three surfactant technologies give unrivalled control 

when applied in combination with an approved fairy ring fungicide like 

Heritage® . See graph below.

1 Adhesion to various surfaces including plant lignin and cellulose, attracting 

water molecules and facilitating water penetration into thatch and soil 

organic matter. 

2 Better hydration of soil particles along with a reduction in water surface tension. 

3 Rapid spreading and downward penetration using non-phytotoxic chemistry. 

or phytotoxicity. TriCure AD can be applied in the morning and safely watered-in 

in the evening without risk of burning. 

TriCure AD application 

Commence applications in March to ensure that soil moisture conditions are 

optimised before any likelihood of spring drought stress (See Page 40). Apply 

to a dry rootzone and wash product off the leaf to maximise efficiency, 

though there is no risk of scorch. Apply monthly according to temperature 

and stress levels on the plant with the final, lower rate application in 

September. TriCure AD is broken down naturally in the soil by microbial 

activity and therefore no residual activity will persist into the winter.

TriCure AD Pellets are a fast, safe and convenient method of applying TriCure 

wetter through hose-end applicators (available from Headland). The pellets 

are designed to dissolve quickly in order to provide an accurate dose 

sufficient to effectively treat and prevent hydrophobic soils. 

Each pellet consists of 75% TriCure AD and can be used as either a stand alone 

treatment or as a supplement to regular water management programmes. 

Many alternative pellets take a long time to dissolve - resulting in low rates of 

wetter being actually applied. 

TriCure AD and TriCure AD Pellets are non-phytotoxic and will not burn or 

discolour turf. 

PELLET APPLICATION RATE 

TriCure Granular is easy to spread on bunker edges, slopes, or anywhere with 

difficult access for a spray rig. Containing the same active ingredient as in liquid 

TriCure AD, use of TriCure Granular is an effective alternative to spraying. 

TriCure Granular utilises DG-Lite, dispersible granule technology as a carrier to 

quickly release the chemistry with no residue left after normal irrigation. 

Like Tricure AD, TriCure Granular does not contain any of the commonly used 

additional ingredients that are associated with burning or phytotoxicity. 

TriCure Granular can be applied in the morning and safely watered-in in the 

evening without risk of burning.

XL Fairway – Soil penetrant and bioactive seaweed formulation 


XL Fairway Key Points 

• Cost effective, penetrant wetter for large areas 

• Ideal to aid moisture penetration into dry and 

compacted soils 

• Added bioactive seaweed provides growth stimulants 

• Short term dew dispersal effect 

Increased water penetration 

The organosiloxane soil surfactants used in XL Fairway have excellent penetrant 

capabilities, helping moisture to move into the soil profile, optimising the use 

of applied irrigation and preventing loss through run-off. Field trials have also 

shown that application of XL Fairway provides a short-term dew dispersal 

effect, thereby minimising disease potential and providing a drier cut. 

Bioactive Seaweed 

XL Fairway also features a highly active seaweed extract, rich in gibberellic 

acid, to aid plant growth processes and reduce stress. Field trials have shown 

that application of XL Fairway results in a more consistent and even turf cover 

as hydrophobic ‘hot spots’ are dissipated by the penetrating action of the soil 

surfactant and the ingression of moisture. 

Tank Mixing 

XL Fairway is suitable for application with other tank mix components designed 

to act in the soil but should not be mixed with foliar absorbed materials due to 

placement incompatibility. XL Fairway is designed to act in the soil, not on the leaf.

for use at very low application rates and is ideal for costeffective 

re-wetting of dry areas without risk of scorch. 

During wet periods, speed can be utilised to aid removal 

of excess water from turf surfaces. 

Use when top dressing to minimise sand pick-up 

Speed can be used after top dressing to minimise pick-up. After the top dressing 

has been brushed or drag-matted in, 2 or 3 passes should be made with the 

sprinkler heads to wet up the sand on the surface of the turf. Finally, applying 

Speed at this point will minimise pickup on machinery and shoes.

Super concentrated formula – Low inclusion rate 

Super Signal Blue is an extremely concentrated spray pattern 

indicator. During the product assessment period, field trials 

showed that the inclusion rate can be significantly reduced 

when compared with many competitor indicators. 

For the first usage, Headland Amenity suggest using Super 

Signal Blue at the same inclusion rate as your normal pattern indicator to 

gauge just how concentrated the formulation actually is. Rate adjustment can 

then be made to achieve the required depth of colour.

Incide-Out is specially formulated for low water volume clean out 

operations. The product has superior cleaning capabilities because it 

contains detergents and anti-redeposition aids that hold residues in solution 

for thorough rinsing. 

The unique formulation of Incide-Out raises the rinse water to roughly pH 12 

at 0.5% v/v, (much higher than ammonia based cleaners) and this facilitates 

more efficient cleaning by accelerating the break down of spray tank residues. 

Incide-Out is suitable for use with all types of powered pedestrian sprayers.

Transport Ultra 

TRANSPORT ULTRA IS NEW CLASS OF WATER CONDITIONER FEATURING A NON-IONIC SURFACTANT,WATER- CONDITIONING AGENTS 

AND AMMONIUM IONS IN A CONVENIENT PREMIX FORMULATION 

Traditional spray tank acidifiers merely reduce spray 

tank pH by adding hydrogen ions to the spray 

solution, however this has no effect on the hardness 

of the water. Transport Ultra reduces both spray 

tank water pH and hardness, providing significant 

benefits over traditional acidifiers. To understand 

these, it is first necessary to understand what is 

meant by ‘water hardness’. 

About Water Hardness 

Water Hardness is a method of classifying water in terms of its calcium and 

magnesium content and is expressed as an equivalent of calcium carbonate. 

Soft water contains low levels of calcium and magnesium, whereas hard water 

contains higher levels, as well as typically - bicarbonate. 

Calcium, magnesium and bicarbonate ions are known to react in the spray 

tank solution with many pesticide active ingredients, making them less available, 

by a process known as alkaline hydrolysis. Transport Ultra sequesters (locks up) 

calcium, magnesium and bicarbonate ions, preventing them from reacting 

with the pesticide added to the spray tank. In addition, Transport Ultra 

‘protonates’ (imparts a positive charge) to the materials added to the tank, 

making them more available to the grass plant, resulting in faster uptake and 

translocation. The difference between the mode of action of Transport Ultra 

and a traditional spray tank acidifier (based on Propionic acid) is shown below 

in actual analysis results of a hard water sample. 

Usage Notes 

In order to increase the efficacy of a spray application, Transport Ultra should 

always be added to the spray tank first before the active ingredient(s). If a 

water sample has not been taken prior to the application to determine the 

effective dosage rate of Transport Ultra, Headland Amenity suggest using a 

0.25% dilution in relation to the spray volume.

Axis® 

Greens-Grade Gypsum 

AXIS IS A GRANULAR SOIL AMENDMENT PRODUCT THAT INTRODUCES NON-COMPACTING PORE SPACE INTO PROBLEM ROOTZONES 

MINI-GRANULAR CALCIUM SULPHATE FOR APPLICATION TO GREENS, TEES AND FAIRWAYS 

Axis Key Points 

• Lightweight, porous granule to help improve problem soils 

• Increases the oxygen holding capacity of soils 

• Helps improve drainage and permeability 

• Helps reduce compaction 

• Balances air and water in the rootzone, encouraging rooting 

• Can increase water and nutrient availability in sandy soils 

Pack Size: 11.34kg bags 

The product is calcined (heated to around 1800°C) to create a stable and 

durable particle that is resistant to breakdown. Its internal pore structure helps 

overcome problems such as compaction and black layer by introducing air 

filled porosity (oxygen) into the rootzone. In poorly draining soils, Axis helps to 

increase percolation rates, moving water through the soil profile. On free 

draining soils with low CEC, Axis acts to retain water and nutrients to promote 

continued growth in adverse conditions. 

Once applied, Axis becomes a permanent part of the rootzone. Use AXIS: 

• On compacted soils with poor oxygen content 

• Badly draining soils 

• Soils that have black layer or anaerobic conditions 

• Sandy soils that dry out too rapidly. 

• Areas of high traffic and wear. 

• Turf areas with poor root structure and development. 

• As a surface dressing to discourage moss and algae colonization

High volume - low weight 

The beneficial effects of soil amendments depend on the actual amount (or 

volume) of product applied, rather than on the weight. Axis is extremely light, 

so a bag of Axis contains significantly more product than the same 

weight of other types of amendment. 

Application 

Apply after aeration, combined with the topdressing material or in a 

‘Drill and Fill’operation. For best results, use 14-20 bags (eg: after coring) 

or up to 40 bags (e.g after verti-draining) per 500m 2 . 

Apply Axis after aeration, in isolation or mixed 50/50 with a suitable top 

dressing. Drag mat or brush into holes and water-in. 

Axis can also be used 

(1) In renovation where it can be rotovated into the top 150 mm of root 

zone before re-turfing or seeding. 

(2) Premixed into rootzone used in construction. 

Please contact Headland Amenity for detailed rate and application.

Axis granules contain a naturally occurring mineral containing thousands of microscopic 

diatoms; hard, sponge-like structures which add porosity and impart other benefits to the soil. 

Jet Black EZ Solupak is a blend of environmentally friendly, non-toxic, watersoluble 

black dyes formulated to reduce sunlight penetration. Use can help to control algae 

and submerged weeds by blocking light and thus reducing photosynthesis. 

Jet Black imparts a natural black colour when applied to any water feature. The 

Jet Black EZ SoluPaks are protected by a unique, waterproof, foil lined overpack 

to prevent accidental staining when handling. 

Application 

Jet Black is packed in cartons containing 6 x 148gm EZ Solupak sachets. Each 

carton will treat 7400m 3 of water in total. Water temperature and convection 

will influence dissolution and dispersion of Jet Black. High levels of chlorine in 

the water may reduce the longevity of Jet Black. 

Greens-Grade Gypsum is a minigranular 

form of calcium sulphate with an average 

granule size of 1mm and is suitable for 

application to greens, tees and fairway 

areas. Greens-Grade Gypsum is suitable 

for use in high salt situations where 

excesses of sodium are present in the 

rootzone and the calcium contained in 

Greens - Grade Gypsum is required to 

replace sodium in the soil profile.

Soil pH Reduction 

Following application, Headland sulphur is converted by the activity of a specific 

microbial species – Thiobacillus, to form sulphuric acid as an intermediary step 

and this then dissociates (splits) into hydrogen and sulphate ions. 

The formation of hydrogen ions is the mechanism behind reducing the soil 

pH when applying sulphur, not the sulphur itself. The reliance on microbial 

activity means applications of sulphur applied in the winter will not achieve 

soil acidification till later in the spring.
