But MESA ® Does! ½ a piece of MESA ® is still MESA ®More about Lebanon Turf’s Patented Technologies (Look out for the logo next to the fertiliser)MESA ® is the first nitrogen sourceto combine ammonium sulphatewith methylene urea in a singleparticle. The result is an effectiveand efficiently controlled nitrogensource. MESA ® provides aconsistent, brilliant colour. UnlikeSCU, MESA ® does not rely oncoating or lose its slow releaseattributes when cracked. WithMESA ® , even if cracked, thegranule still maintains its slowrelease properties. That's whyhalf a piece of MESA ® is stillMESA ® ! (Typical nitrogen release:6-9 weeks)EXPO has been designed toextend the benefits of potassium.Expo is a unique, patented,single-particle made bycombining methylene urea andpotassium sulphate. It goesbeyond standard potassiumsulphate found in most fertiliser;Expo was specifically designedto deliver a more efficient, costeffective,controlled releasesource of potash. It is onlyavailable in Lebanon TurfProducts. (Typical nitrogenrelease 10-14 weeks; typicalpotassium release: 6-8 weeks)Composite Technology is apatented breakthrough in thefertiliser manufacturing processthat produces a superior fertiliser.We start with premium forms ofnitrogen and fuse them withphosphorus, potassium, andmicro nutrients to create acompletely revolutionary,homogeneous granule. The resultis a granule with better particledispersion, better integrity, and ahigher measurable amount ofnitrogen activity.IBDU ® has the highest amount ofavailable WIN, this waterinsoluble-nitrogensourceprovides controlled release,without leaching or surgegrowth. Nitrogen availability thatis not dependent upon soiltemperatures or microbial activityresults in an extremely versatileand long lasting feeding.Experience a more evenly fedand consistent stand of turf whilereducing the number ofapplications. (Typical nitrogenrelease: 12-16 weeks)Meth-EX 40 ® is the mostefficient, high activity methyleneurea complex available today.Meth-Ex 40® is nitrogen sourcethat provides extended microbialrelease without the need forcoatings. Microbial release,dependent upon soil moistureand soil temperature, allowsnitrogen to be released when theturf needs it most. The result iscolour response often the sameday of application, minimal surgegrowth and maximum long-termresponse. (Typical nitrogenrelease: 8-10 weeks)4How can something that works so fast, last so long?

Scotts Greenmaster Pro-Lite 25kgPro-Lite is the Scotts registered trade name for a new type of ‘micro’fertiliser granule technology that contains zeolite in a homogenous form.Zeolite’s molecular structure is a 3D cage-like framework of silica andalumina molecules. Due to the spaces and channels in each molecule itacts as a microscopic sponge. Excess oxygen is held in the framework andcreates a negative charge that holds cations and water molecules untilneeded by the plant. As a result zeolite gives improved longevity,dispersion and a more homogenous granule.• Quick turf reaction• Pro-Lite/zeolite technology enhances longevity• Fine granule for quick dispersalScotts Sportsmaster 25kgMany fertilisers in the Scotts range contain controlled release elementsproviding nitrogen over an extended period.

Ammonium sulphate is aninorganic compound used as a fertiliser to supply nitrogen to plants. It is made by a commercialprocess that causes ammonia to react with sulphuric acid. When added to water it becomes solubleand thus is readily taken up by the plants, with effects being noticed in under 10 days. Since it ishighly soluble in water it also means that it leeches from the soil easily, thus requiring regularapplications.Sulphate of Potash 25kgSulphate of Potash is a quick acting fertiliser to boost flowering and ripening of fruit. The fast actingfertiliser which provides the essential nutrient potassium. Provides greater strength and vigour inplants leading to improved resistance to weather and disease. Sulphate of Potash promotes thedevelopment and colour of flowers, resulting in high quality blooms and more abundant fruit yields.It is particularly beneficial to tomatoes.Superphosphate 25kgSuperphosphate encourages strong root growth and healthy plants. Fruit, root and seed crops willproduce higher yields and ripening will be improved. Superphosphate is one of the keys to successwhen planting out seedlings, rooted cuttings and transplants.Fish, Blood and Bone Meal 25kgFish, Blood & Bone contains the three major nutrients for strong and healthyplant growth. The nitrogen in Fish, Blood & Bone encourages strong growth andhealthy rich green foliage, whilst the slow steady release of phosphate promotesvigorous root growth. The added potash promotes flower colour and improvesripening of fruit and vegetables.Bone Meal 25kgSterilised Bone Meal is a slow release organic fertiliser to encourageroot development. It provides both phosphates and nitrogen, twoelements essential for healthy plant growth. This slow, steadyrelease of nutrients over a long period make Bone meal an idealfertiliser for bulbs and herbaceous plants, shrubs, roses, fruit treesand strawberries.Dried Blood 25kgDried Blood is a fast acting organic fertiliser, rich in nitrogen, whichpromotes above ground growth and healthy foliage. Especiallybeneficial when growing leaf crops such as lettuce, spinach and cabbage. Dried Blood also makesan excellent top dressing for foliage plants in the greenhouse and conservatory.Hoof & Horn 25kgHoof & Horn is a high nitrogen feed for plants that produce large amounts of leaf, especiallyvegetables and corn. Nitrogen is needed to make leaf protein, so plants that make large amounts ofgreen leaf can benefit from top dressings of Hoof and Horn.

NOT THE WEEDS• Improved overseeding results, guaranteed! (30% more plants,30% longer roots)• Targeted nutrient application (Feeding theseed, not the weeds)• Better wear tolerance• Reduced Poa annua levels• Environmentally friendly (reduced losses offertiliser to the environment)• Labour saving and cost effectiveFeed per seediSeed ® is a nutrient seed coating that consists of seeds andcoating materials. The coating consists of a combination of fastacting and slow release fertilisers. Per 100kgs of bare seeds,20kg N and 4kg P are applied to a field. This means that in thecase of Agrostis where we are sowing at low seeding rates andall the problems that entails, we now have a ready made solutionfor sowing at easier rates. As the fertiliser is coated onto theseeds, the germinating and developing seedling receives thebenefit, not the surrounding plants. This is particularly importantwhen overseeding into a competitive sward. The nitrogen andphosphate in iSeed ® are up to four times more efficientcompared to broadcast applied ordinary fertilisers. Effectively theamounts applied in the above example would then become80kgs of N and 16kgs of P per hectare.Johnsons Sports SeedAll Johnsons mixes are both TurfGuard and Growmax treated.TurfGuard - Increased germination and establishmentTurfGuard is a specific strain of the soil bacteria Bacillus subtilis,which is commonly found in the soil, on roots and on leaves.Applied to grass seed its spores germinate and rapidly colonisethe root system of the new plant. This provides a barrier to soilpathogens while producing beneficial growth hormones thatassist the grass plant in numerous ways.GroMax - Turf Grass Seed TreatmentGroMax is a unique and effective new seed treatment whichstimulates the soil's micro-flora, resulting in improved rootgrowth and turf establishment, stress tolerance, and enhancedwater and nutrient uptake in grasses.Pack Coverage: 1,000m 2 25J Premier Green 10kg/20kgSuitable for: Golf Greens HighPerformance Renovation Mix• No 1 rated for greens, unique 60%bent content for successfuloverseeding• Fescue nurse crop, ideal foroverseeding• High tolerance to close mowing• Excellent colour• Reduced Poa Annua invasion25% Musica - Chewings Fescue15% Cezanne - Slender Creeping Red Fescue40% Manor - Browntop Bent20% Jorvik - Browntop BentSowing Rate: 15-20g/m 2Oversowing Rate: 8g/m 2Mowing Height: down to 3.5mmJ Rye-Green 20kgSuitable for: Intense Wear GolfGreens• Ideal for renovation of extremelyheavily worn greens• Quick establishment• Extremely hard wearing• Excellent recovery• Good fineness of leaf• High shoot density30% Dickens - Perennial Ryegrass30% Sauvignon - Perennial Ryegrass20% Cezanne - Slender Creeping Red Fescue10% Denso - Browntop Bent10% Manor - Browntop BentSowing Rate: 35-50g/m 2Oversowing Rate: 25-50g/m 2Mowing Height: down to 4mmLIMAGRAIN MM RANGE & JOHNSONS iSEEDSHOP ONLINE 24/7 @ WWW.AMENITY.CO.UK

The nematodes reproduce inside the dead pest andrelease a new generation of hungry infective nematodes, whichdisperse and search for further prey. Nemasys Chafer Grub Killermust be used within 3-4 weeks of being received.Do not apply Nemasys Chafer Grub killer too late, since thegrubs start to move down deeper in the soil and become inactiveuntil the following spring.

These algae developand proliferate in nutrient rich watersand are the main cause of oxygendepletion of the water following theirdecay. Apart from the aestheticunpleasantness caused, they create aphysical obstacle to activities such asirrigation, water sports, fishing and fishfarms. ProCrystal ® is a plant-based inert powder inoculated by 6strains of class 1 bacteria (over 6 x 10° bacteria per single-dosesachet). It very quickly consumes and degrades the excessnitrogen (nitrates and ammoniacal nitrogen) and phosphates thatalgae feed on to develop.The algae die swiftly after treatment by being deprived of thenourishment essential to their development.

Compacted soil isdense; rooting may be adversely affected.Mega Pascal scale on as standard.Compaction severely restricts the manner in which soilnaturally manages water; both by holding water nearthe surface of the field - and by limiting the abilityof plants to take up water and nutrients frombelow. Excess surface water makes fieldsdifficult to work in the spring and fall.A compacted zone means that fertilisers, pesticides andherbicides you apply cannot be utilised efficiently. If theyare not absorbed, they can be wasted away easily.58 DID YOU KNOW WE DO SANDS, LOAMS AND TOP DRESSING? SEE PAGE 19

CONTRACT SERVICESDRAINAGE & CONTRACT SPRAYINGDrainage SystemsBLEC Vibra SandInjectorArea of use - Golf GreensThe Blec Sand Injector is 1mwide. Slits are cut by discs at25cm centres to a maximumdepth of 14cm, 20mm wide.An oscillating cam causesvibration of the injection legs,which enables the slits to befilled to full depth without bridging, whilst shattering thesurrounding soil. The Sand Injector will handle moist sand, leicaand 2-6mm grit.(Needs to connect to existing drainage for operation to providefull drainage benefits).BLEC SandmasterAreas of use - SportsPitches and Golf FairwaysThe injection system on thismachine is on the oscillatingcam principal as describedfor the sand injector above.The machine is 1.5m wide,slits are cut by a rotarydecompactor, blades set a25cm spacings and cutting 15mm slots at a maximum depth of20cm. Thus the ground is decompacted prior to the injection ofdrainage material, and ridging does not occur. Suitable for theapplication of moist sand, leica and 2-6mm grit.AFT Whizz WheelThis system was specificallydesigned to prolong the lifeof compacted, water loggedgolf greens for 10-years ormore without the need forreconstruction. Not only isthis a much cheaperalternative, it enables thecharacter of existing greens,often built up over decades,to be preserved. Instead ofmaterial being added to thegreen, soil is taken away andreplaced with 6mmaggregate (a silicateaggregate) - slits are thenconnected to an existingdrain, or ALS will constructdrainage to a suitable outfall.Benefits are:• Reduced use of temporarygreens through waterlogging• Resulting improvement ingreens soil structure• Better playing conditions• Improved rootdevelopment• Earlier spring growth andreduced diseasesusceptibility“I have had a good working relationship with ALS for a number of years.
