Aquatrols Company Launches VerdeLNX Tough Turf Pro Package Across the EU
Aquatrols is pleased to announce that its VerdeLNX Tough Turf Pro package is now available to turf managers across Europe.
The programme combines Ferrosol Pro, Base Ca and Base K, supported by Aquatrols’ AquaVita® Nutrient Delivery and Nutrient Retention Technologies. Together, they maximise nutrient uptake through both leaves and roots while reducing losses through leaching, so more of every application is used by the plant.
The launch follows another summer of prolonged drought, high temperatures and restricted rainfall across Europe. Even where irrigation has kept surfaces looking acceptable, drought stress reduces root development, limits nutrient uptake and depletes the plant’s energy reserves. As temperatures fall and growth slows, turf has less opportunity to recover, just as football and rugby seasons get under way and winter sports return to schools, universities and community facilities.
The Tough Turf Pro package is designed to rebuild the plant rather than encourage excessive growth. Ferrosol Pro (5-0-0+7%Fe) is a lower-nitrogen iron product that provides rapid green-up and helps harden turf, without the blackening and wheel marking associated with traditional iron products. Base Ca (8-0-0+13%Ca) combines calcium with nitrogen and seaweed extract to reinforce cell walls in leaves, stems and roots. Base K (0-0-38) delivers potassium as potassium acetate for rapid, efficient absorption, supporting root development, vigour and tolerance of wear and changing weather.
The programme reflects a wider move towards preventative, Integrated Turf Management. With tighter pesticide legislation and increasingly unpredictable weather, healthier plants with strong roots and efficient nutrient use are better able to tolerate wear, recover quickly and cope with the disease pressure common in autumn and early winter.
Emma Beggs, Portfolio Manager at Aquatrols Europe Ltd, welcomed the launch:
“Recovery isn’t something that happens on its own once temperatures fall. Every application made in autumn is an investment in the following season. We’re delighted to make the Tough Turf Pro package available to turf managers across Europe, giving them a practical way to help turf recover, strengthen and perform when it matters most.”
The VerdeLNX Tough Turf Pro package is suitable for golf courses, football and rugby pitches, cricket squares, racecourses and community sports facilities.
