The best in slow release
Lebanon Turf Products®,
world leader in the field of turf fertilizers, in association with
Herbatech®, presents an innovative line of fertilizer suited
for the European professional turf market.
COMPOSITE TECHNOLOGY®
Composite Technology®
is a new exclusive granulation process of Lebanon®. Slow release
nitrogen ingredients Meth-Ex 40® are fused with phosphorus,
potassium and micronutrients, creating a completely homogeneous
compounded microgranule. After application the elements NPK dissolve
in the same quantitative equilibrium of the initial formula. The
Composite Technology® granule has a higher Nitrogen Activity
Index (AI) than any homogeneous NPK fertilazer to date. Over 90%
of the nitrogen will be released within 8-12 weeks fromapplication.
METH-EX 40®
Meth-Ex 40® is the methylene urea ingredient of the slow release
fertilizer line Country Club® of Lebanon®.
It is the best methylene urea available today on the world market.
Its peculiarity consists in having a very high fraction of short
chain methylene ureas that are solubilized and become available
to the plant, through the combined action of soil microorganisms
and hydrolysis, within 8-12 weeks from application. The research
carried on by Lebanon® permits with Meth-Ex 40® to obtain
the highest short chain methylene urea percentage to date (21,74%
compared with 14,55% of competing products). Also within the long
chain methylene urea, the percentage available to the plant, the
hot water soluble nitrogen (HWSN) is superior to any other competing
methylene ureas.
MESA®
SLOW RELEASE AMMONIUM SULPHATE
Mesa is the new technology of Lebanon® which combines ammonium
sulphate and methylene urea in a unique homogeneous formulation.
Ammonium sulphate crystals are incorporated into a methylene urea
matrix (Meth-Ex 40) with high acitvity index. To a gradual release
by solubilization and microbial activity of Meth-Ex 40® corresponds
a gradual ammonium sulphate dissolution, that guarantees from the
very beginning a constant growth, a brilliant green colour and no
phitotoxicity risk.
Mesa is not a coated fertilizer but a homogeneous product. Therefore,
there are not risks of granule’s accidental breaking that
can provoke uncontrollable urea’s releases (so-called leopard
spots).
PIN: the crucial test
In order to have a scientific quality measurement of the Composite
Technology® granulation process, Lebanon® laboratories have
developed the PIN (Performance Index Number), an impartial scientific
method which measures the following parameters:
P : Particle dispersion index
I : Granular integrity index
N : Nitrogen Activity Index
(HWSN hot water soluble nitrogen percentage)
The PIN of a fertilizer shows in a single number, such as 250, the
sum of the percentages derived froms the dispersion, integrity and
nitrogen activity indexes.
250 the total of the P, I and N of a fertilizer for a PIN of 250.
300 is the highest possibile PIN, although anything 235 and higher
is acceptable.
P:
(particle dispersion) |
I:
(integrity) |
N:
(nitrogen activity index or AI) |
Measures
how quickly moisture breaks the product down into smaller
particles after application. The smallest the particle is, the
less likely is to be picked up by mowing equipment. Indicated
by numbers between 0 to 100. Look for products with a minimum
P of 80. |
Measures
product hardydness. The harder the product, less likely is
its breakdown during shipping, handling and application. Optimally,
this results in less breakage and dust. Look for products
with a minimum of 90. |
Measures
the amount of available WIN. The higher the nitrogen activity
index, the more efficient and cost effective the nitrogen
content. Look for products with a minimum N of 65. |
C O U N T RY C L U B®
Slow release fertilizer for turf nutrition in stressful conditions
(summer-winter)
12 - 0 - 18- + 2,5MgO+Fe+Mn (green)
Stimulates vegetative response during critical summer and winter
periods with optimal aesthetic results
The high potassium concentration favours plants resistance to summer
pithium, winter fusarium, frost and drought by strengthening grass
cell walls
Can be distributed on potassium and magnesium deficient soils in
any period of the year
C O U N T RY C L U B®
Slow release microgranular fertilizer for top quality golf greens
18-0-18+Fe+Mn (green)
Studied for ultra low cut, high wear golf greens, particularly those
seeded with the new bentgrass varieties
Contains more than 65% of its nitrogen in a short chain methylene
urea, with the highest PIN today available from Lebanon®
The NK I:I ratio guarantees a constant release of these nutrients
increasing in the same time vigour, density and overall colour.
C O U N T RY C L U B®
Rapid response fertilizer for early spring and late summer green
up
16-0-8+Fe+Mn (green)
Rapid effect formulation, produces a dark green colour effect within
5-6 days from application
Its acid chemical composition, from ammonium sulphate, inhibits
Poa annua and moss development
Summer applications of Country Club 16-0-8 + Fe have proven very
effective in summer patch and Anthracnose prevention
C O U N T RY C L U B®
Excellent formulation for newly established or overseeded turfgrass
areas
10 - 18 - 18 + 2,5MgO +Fe+Mn (green)
Its Composite Technology® process achieves a distinctively high
particle dispersion characteristic, that permits an immediate dissolution
after irrigation or rainfall
Rapid phosphorous and ammoniacal nitrogen response after application
is very important for starter fertilization in the critical germination
phase; potassium and slow release nitrogen content increases turf
vitality after germination, improving noticeably turf postgerminative
stress resistance
Homogeneous particle-composition analysis, rich in meso and microelements
such as magnesium, sulphur, iron and manganese
MESA®
Slow release ammonium sulphate fertilizer
19-0-19-+3Fe+Zn (fairway)
R evolutionary fertilizer with high agronomic quality for sports
grounds, gardens, tees and golf fairways.
Combining in a unique granule methex 40 and ammonium sulphate, thanks
to nitrogen gradual and costant release, provides the right nutrients
for turf in all weather and temperature conditions.
The iron high percentage provides an excellent brilliant green colour
soon after application.
Over 60% of the nitrogen will be released within 75 days from application.
