SAGE early bird offer

January 10, 2022/in News, Press Release/by Vicky Panniers

SAGE early bird offer: 2022 is here and so nears the end of the SAGE 2022 early bird offer for organisations in the sports and grounds maintenance industry seeking to book a discounted stand at this year’s event.

The team at SAGE are working tirelessly in the background to ensure their second event is bigger and better than before. Taking place from 6-7 July at The Three Counties Showground in Malvern, the primary focus of the event this year is to allow for hands-on demonstrations that benefit both exhibitors and event visitors as we provide a platform for industry expertise to be on show.

The worldwide Covid-19 pandemic has had a major impact on a variety of industries across the globe, including events and business conferences. However, amidst the current wave of the Omicron variant, it is looking ever-likely that Covid-19 is something we are going to have to live with for yet another year.

The safety and wellbeing of exhibitors and guests is the number one priority of the team at SAGE.

“We are confident that the large outdoor space at The Three Counties Showground is more than capable of holding a safe outdoor event again this summer”, says Event Manager, Vicky Panniers.

“Attendees last year were pleasantly surprised by the space on offer and felt comfortable given the outside circumstances presented by Covid-19, the potential of SAGE is huge. We want to assure all our exhibtiors that SAGE will be a safe event that will allow them to showcase their expertise, products and services to an array of visitors”.

The Worcestershire location has been awarded the ‘We’re Good to Go’ charter mark by VisitEngland, the official tourist board for the region. Therefore, the event is recognised as one that upholds all necessary health and safety guidance to meet the Covid-19 advice set out by leading bodies such as the government and public health officials.

The industry standard mark acts as reassurance for site visitors, showing that adequate protocols are in place to ensure their safety. Processes such as reduced capacity, social distancing policies and increased sanitisation are just some of the ways that The Three Counties Showground has increased its practices in the wake of Covid-19. Confidence is brimming as The Three Counties Winter events teams have welcomed thousands of visitors over the last few months, which is excellent for events to come.

The early bird offer for exhibitors to book their stand at the event is nearing its close, ending on 31^st January. The offer enables organisations to avail of a 10% discount on their stand. To book a stand for your business, contact the SAGE team by email: team@sportsandgrounds.co.uk, by phone: +44 (0)1684580101 or go to the website: www.sportsandgrounds.co.uk now.

Organisers have also welcomed a partnership with Bio-Circle, environmental surface technology specialists, to run a Sustainable Solutions for Ground Care summit. This element of the event will feature a panel that will share their industry-leading advice to event attendees.

There is no doubt that this is an event not to be missed again this summer. To keep up to date with all SAGE’s latest updates, including panel announcements and new exhibitors; follow them on social media including, LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

Gem Granules back after absence

January 7, 2022/in News, Press Release/by External Source

Gem Granules back after absence: Agrigem have expanded their granular weed killer range with the re-introduction of Gem Granules, exclusively available from Agrigem.

This granular residual herbicide is back by popular demand and can be applied around trees, shrubs and ornamental plantings in order to deliver long-lasting weed control against grasses and broad-leaved weeds. This seasonal product works best in the Winter or Spring, between October and April when conditions are cooler. Users will find the easiest way to apply this product is with the Gem Granule Applicator for an even coverage. This applicator can be used with the two sizes of Gem Granules, 1kg and 5kg. 1kg can cover 260 trees whereas, 5kg will cover up to 1,300 trees. As this product is safe round trees it is perfect for Christmas trees as it controls the weeds surrounding the base of the tree.

Gem Granules have been specially formulated to control many weeds which are present during the cooler periods of the year. These weeds include Bindweed, Dock, Broadleaved Weeds, Couch Grass, Fat Hen, Meadow Grass and Shepherds Purse. The granules will deliver long-lasting control of germinating weeds as well as laying a residual barrier for up to 6 months. This will help prevent re-emergence of the weeds that have grown beneath shrubs and trees.

With Gem Granules having 4% Propyzamide as its active ingredient, it ensures that they target all the main grassweeds and broadleaved weeds. The granules act on the roots of the target plant with the results affecting the plants leaves by yellowing them and distorting the growth of the stems. This product is easy to use as it can be applied to all soil types, however the product needs moist, cold soils for root uptake. It can be used in all weather conditions except on top of snow or on severely frozen ground. What really sets Gem Granules apart from other herbicides is the ease of application; the granular formula using an applicator is by far the easiest way to apply herbicides without mixing concentrated liquids or using a knapsack sprayer.

Gem Granules are back in stock for immediate despatch, and can be ordered direct from Agrigem’s website, agrigem.co.uk, or from your Agrigem Rep. For a limited time Agrigem are also offering a Free Applicator with every purchase of Gem Granules.
