‘Precise’ Sherriff Amenity At SALTEX

September 13, 2018/in Events, News, Press Release/by Lucy Nicholls

Sherriff Amenity, the UK’s leading turf and amenity suppliers, have announced the launch of two new apps, which are set to increase efficiency and improve operations for sports turf managers.

PrecisionPro is a dedicated app for sports turf to measure any area, guide you in calibrating your spreader for any granular product and also help you apply fertilisers as accurate as ever. The slogan for the app is Measure. Calibrate. Apply – and in just three simple steps accuracy and precision is guaranteed.

The misjudgement of green size often results in over application or under application of fertilisers and both will have a negative effect on performance, disease and budget.

PrecisionPro allows turf managers to have an accurate measured area by simply opening the app and walking the perimeter of the green. Calibrating spreaders has always been a difficult task but with the Calibrate feature in the PrecisionPro app, users are guided through each step of the process. Furthermore, its advanced GPS functionality informs you when to start and stop the calibration process.

Accurate application is taken to the next level and no more guesswork is required. The app features a function to ensure that every operator walks at the same speed – if someone is walking too fast or too slow then they are alerted by colour coded screens. As well as calculating your g/m2 and your walking speed, the Apply feature ultimately ensures that you are applying the correct amount of product to your turf.

Also being showcased on the stand is Sherriff Amenity’s all new ParryMeter football app – which is the world’s first dedicated measurement device to accurately measure the ball roll performance of football pitches using a real football. The ParryMeter football app records thousands of measurements per run ensuring absolute accuracy of readings. Additional data can also be entered into the app and all measurements are saved and easily shared however the user wishes to.

Sherriff Amenity will be joined on the stand by Carbon Gold – the world’s leading biochar company. Sherriff Amenity are the exclusive UK distributors of Carbon Gold’s Enriched Biochar Turf Improver and visitors will be able to discover more about Biochar, which is a highly porous, high carbon form of charcoal used to improve soil nutrition, growing conditions and turf health. It is made from untreated waste woody biomass that has been charred at a low temperature with a restricted supply of oxygen, a process called pyrolysis.

Carbon Gold’s Turf Improver enriches biochar with optimum levels of beneficial fungi, bacteria and trace minerals for optimum soil and sward health. Where prevention rather than cure is key, adding enriched biochar to soil provides the foundation on which to build resilient, attractive, playable turf, as recent sports turf trials have shown.

One lucky visitor to the stand will also walk away with a free Accupro spreader as well as a Lenova tablet, which comes pre-loaded with the PrecisonPro app.

Germinal’s New Amenity Website

September 13, 2018/in News, Press Release/by Orla O'Hare

The new website, available here, contains all the information professional groundsmen and turfcare professionals need to optimise the performance of their sports facilities, including complete specifications and usage guides for Germinal’s Grade ‘A’ range of sports-specific grass seed mixtures as well as full details of its specialist fertilisers and range of general landscaping products.

“As well as investing in research and development to bring new grass cultivars and turf care products seeds to the sports amenity sector, we are also conscious of the industry’s appetite for the latest advice in terms of making sports pitches perform to their best potential,” explains Richard Brown, Germinal Amenity Sales Manager.

“Our popular range of ‘Grade A’ grass seed mixtures is always evolving to ensure our sports specific products remain the best available. The new website has therefore been developed to make it easier for new and existing customers to get ‘Sow Much More’ from their facilities by keeping them abreast of our evolving range of products and to enable them to specify the most appropriate products to suit each site’s specific needs.

“The new website also contains a collection of advice guides and video resources which cover a range of topics from over-seeding ‘how-to’ guides, to detailed explanations of the importance of soil pH and nutrient management.”

The website also contains downloadable fertiliser plans which have been designed by Germinal’s FACTS (Fertiliser Advisers Certification and Training Scheme) qualified experts to enable everyone from novice groundsmen to professional stadium managers to get the best results from their facilities.

The new website also features a ‘Product Selector’ tool which makes it as easy for groundsmen to find the most appropriate products for their projects.

“Our sports specific seed mixtures contain only the very best quality cultivars,” Richard Brown adds. “However, with such a wide variety of options to choose from, specifying the right mixture of seed for individual site can be a daunting and time-consuming process. Our new Product Selector streamlines this process, using step-by-step recommendations to help groundsmen to select the most appropriate seed mixture. And, just as before, any orders placed before 2pm will be shipped and delivered the next working day.”
