Education and environmentallyfriendly innovations take centre stage for OAS at BTME 2023

I the Origin Amenity Solutions ( OAS ) team as they return to
BTME in 2023 . Not only will members of the technical team be delivering six classes and seminars in the ‘ Continue to Learn ’ programme , innovative solutions to fine turf seed selection , nutritional treatments and data management systems from across the OAS brands will be showcased on not one but THREE stands in the main exhibition halls !
Comprised of Headland Amenity , Rigby Taylor , Symbio and Turfkeeper - and with their own Turf Science & Technology Centre – OAS has become the leading force in the amenity sector . Research conducted in-house and with selected partners around the globe are shaping the products of the future , such as the Carbon4Grass mixtures available from Rigby Taylor . Because managed amenity turf has higher plant populations per square metre than natural grassland , the Carbon4Grass seed range has been specially formulated with cultivars that can sequester ( lock up ) more carbon , thereby mitigating environmental impact . More details about the collection , which includes R41 , R6 CRT , R25 CRT and Low Maintenance for golf , can be found in new literature available on stand 230 .
Also on stand 230 will be the fertiliser wheel from Headland Amenity . As pioneers in the field of speciality fertilisers for over 20 years , samples from across their portfolio will be showcased – from popular slow-release and controlled release solutions such as XTEND ® and Multigreen ® respectively , to organics like the popular C-Complex ® range for fine turf .
Organics are also under the microscope
