Sierrablen Plus Turf Starter with Pearl Technology 5-28-0 + 16MgO 25 kg

ICL have added Ostara's Pearl® Technology to their premium controlled-release Sierrablen Plus fertilizers and it is providing significantly increased rooting and more efficient nutrient use over traditional ammonium-phosphate sources. With Pearl Technology they have eliminated the risk of phosphorus leaching into the environment or it irreversibly locking onto soil particles: Pearl only releases in response to organic acids produced by the roots and therefore will be taken up as per the plants requirement.

Sierrablen Plus Turf Starter includes Pearl® Technology, a unique Root Activated continuous-release phosphorus recovered from phosphorus-rich water streams. This high phosphorus analysis with proven performance for sod growers, is designed for laying sod and for adding to renovations where maximum rooting is the aim. It is preferable to use this product alongside applications of additional nitrogen to encourage turf growth.

• Controlled-release Poly-S nitrogen for strong turf response and 3+ month longevity
• Root-activated, slow-release phosphorus, nitrogen and magnesium resulting in increased rooting
• Contains Polyhalite with K, CaO and MgO
• Circular nutrients N, P and MgO recovered from phosphorus-rich water streams.
• Earlier harvest time when used for turf production

Area of use 

• Turf production 
• Turf laying 
• Stadium pitches 
• Sports fields 
• Tees

How to use 

• Renovation: Use a spreader to apply the fertiliser shortly after scarifying to allow the granules to disperse within the sward.
• Sodding: Once the soil has been prepared, apply the fertiliser evenly prior to sodding. The roots of the sod should be in contact with the granules.
• Seeding and over-seeding: Seeding – Use a spreader to apply the fertiliser and work it into the top 3 cm of soil prior to seeding.
• Over-Seeding – Use a spreader to apply the fertiliser once the soil has been opened up, before reseeding later.
