Enhanced Efficiency Fertilizer Advantages:
Fewer Fertilizer Applications
-
Helps to reduce overall fertilizer expenses, by saving money on equipment costs
-
Eases the frustration of scheduling applications in high-use areas, and limits visibility when fertilizing those areas
-
Allows for optimized labor allocation
-
Less time fertilizing frees up crews to complete other value-added tasks
-
By applying controlled-release, slow-release and stabilized nitrogen enhanced efficiency fertilizers (EEFs), nitrogen (N) use can be reduced by up to 40% when compared to conventional fertilizers like urea and ammonium sulfate
-
Saves money and helps to efficiently manage the use of this valued fertilizer resource
-
Responsible N utilization helps to support environmental initiatives that may be in place
“Any time I can get better utilization of nitrogen and not allow it to become volatile or leach, that’s a good thing.”
Brad Johnson, Lawn America
Optimum Nutrient Plant Uptake
-
Minimizes growth flushes, reducing unplanned mowing and clippings/hardscape clean-up
-
Consistent and reliable nutrient delivery minimizes the feast/famine cycle that can cause stress; sports fields can be more tolerant to weeds and diseases, and recover more quickly from the wear and tear of ongoing activity
-
Efficiently works to promote sports field appearance and playability, while reducing the need for additional turfgrass maintenance products that may have to be purchased and applied
-
Coating, technology, longevity and SGN options enhance the ability to tailor fertilization programs that meet budget needs and specific turfgrass nutritional requirements
-
Environmentally responsible with low potential for nutrient leaching, denitrification, runoff or volatilization
