Season long fertilisation from one application<br />
Fairway fertilisation is an expensive operation, both in terms of material cost<br />
and labour.<br />
Multigreen 425 month fertilisers provide cost-effective fairway fertilising in a<br />
single application, lasting a whole season,<br />
Both Multigreen 28-0-0 and 28-3-15 are formulated to release for 4 months at<br />
an average soil temperature of 21°c, but as the table indicates below, the<br />
average for March – September is closer to 14°c.<br />

Multigreen Mini 12-0-44 Key Points<br />
• Three applications in one – autumn + winter + spring carryover<br />
• Homogeneous formulation – Nitrogen and potassium in each prill<br />
• Cool temperature potassium nitrate ‘fast start’ portion for quick<br />
response at low temperatures<br />
The release of nutrients from<br />
Multigreen is solely controlled by<br />
soil temperature. The lower the<br />
temperature, the longer the release.<br />
Taking this temperature data into<br />
account, Multigreen 425 month<br />
products last between 5 – 6 months<br />
in the U.K and Irish climate, with<br />
applications made in April feeding<br />
right through till September.<br />
• Temperature-only release mechanism<br />
• Sulphur free formulation<br />
• Environmentally friendly, leach resistant technology<br />
Three fertilisers for the price of one<br />
<strong>Headland</strong> Amenity have pioneered autumn application of Multigreen Mini<br />
12-0-44 controlled release fertiliser in order to achieve not just good winter<br />
greens, but also to provide a head start the following spring.<br />
Nutrient<br />
Core<br />
All Multigreen analyses contain an uncoated, ‘fast start’ portion, blended with<br />
a polymer-coated, controlled release prill. Following application, the coated<br />
Multigreen prill takes up moisture through pores in the polymer-resin coating.<br />
This ‘priming’ process takes 7 – 10 days with the initial release period covered<br />
by the immediately available, ‘fast start’ portion of potassium nitrate and / or<br />
ammonium sulphate, to provide quick turf response at low soil temperatures.<br />
Once the soil temperature reaches 6°c, release<br />
commences from the polymer coated portion<br />
of the product, in line with grass growth. The<br />
longevity of release is determined by the thickness<br />
of the polymer resin coat around the prill, -<br />
the thicker the coating, the longer the product<br />
lasts. Multigreen analyses are available in 4-5<br />
month (425) and 6-7 month (627) longevities.<br />
Controlled release potassium<br />
Application is made once soil temperatures have dropped below 10 °c to prevent<br />
any encouragement of disease, usually this would be around mid November.<br />
After application, 40% of the nitrogen and 40% of the potassium is immediately<br />
available to the grass plant, promoting strong, but hard winter growth due to<br />
the high potassium content. In addition to the controlled release nitrogen and<br />
potassium, Multigreen Mini 12-0-44 is sulphur-free, making it ideal for use on<br />
anaerobic rootzones where an accumulation of sulphur has been detected.<br />
Thereafter, the product only releases the remaining nitrogen and potassium<br />
according to soil temperature, stopping below 6°c during the cold winter<br />
period. In this dormant state, the nitrogen and potassium is protected from<br />
leaching by the polymer-resin coating. As the soil temperature rises the<br />
following Spring, nutrient release begins again, getting the greens off to a<br />
head start without the need to re-apply fertiliser. Burial retrieval trials conducted<br />
over winter has indicated that 50% of the nitrogen and potassium remained<br />
available the following spring to provide strong growth.<br />
