INNOVATIVE TURF NUTRITION s one of the four leading
A brands of Origin Amenity
Solutions , Headland Amenity will be returning to SALTEX in a new stand location but with the same technical team , on hand to discuss their range of innovative turf nutrition , health and management products . Of particular interest to visitors of stand G060 will be Headland ’ s industry-leading 20-20-30 Enhanced Plant Health ( EPH ) tankmix , proven to deliver turf strength and reduce disease activity when applied as part of a preventative plant-health approach .
Headland have pioneered research and independent trials since 2007 to create a tank-mix to boost plant health , in such a way that it is more difficult for disease pathogens to take hold . A combination of Liquid Turf Hardener , Turfite and Seamac Proturf was found to deliver the nutrients required to maximise sward strength going into and during the main disease periods . The 20-20-30 mix has proven its credentials on fine turf applications , reducing clubs ’ reliance on costly fungicide applications and is now also demonstrating its efficacy at suppressing disease on sports turf .
Within the last couple of years , further research has seen some enhancements to the strategy , firstly with the addition of Mantle . Mantle ’ s water-soluble formulation includes a unique plant elicitor to Headland , which stimulates the grass plant ’ s own natural defence mechanisms .
Delivering micronutrients that are fundamental to processes essential for a healthy plant , Mantle has proven itself to be a great addition to the EPH programme .
The more recent introduction of a new water-soluble micronutrient formulation , PPT114 , has further enhanced the consistency of results and has demonstrated fantastic results , particularly in minimising Microdochium nivale infection .
The Headland team will be on hand to discuss this , together with the rest of their plant nutrition , soil surfactant and amenity chemical range .
