42 / 15 kg

UMAXX® is a premium stabilized nitrogen fertilizer designed to maximize nitrogen efficiency and minimize nitrogen loss. Stabilized Nitrogen remains in the root zone longer in a useable form, therefore, providing consistent growth and optimum results. When it comes to performance and return on investment, no other urea-based product compares to UMAXX® Stabilized Nitrogen. UMAXX® provides consistent colour response for up to 12 to 16 weeks.

Nutryon® polymer-coated urea provides a long-lasting, precise and consistent feeding for stronger and healthier turf. Nutryon® requires soil moisture and temperatures conducive to plant growth for release, making the nitrogen available only when usable by the turf.

Nutryon-S® slow release nitrogen provides turf nutrition that lasts up to 8 weeks. Nutryon-S® uses unique technology that supplies consistent feeding for better turf quality over an extended period.

Contains up to five sources of nitrogen with different release rates: Fast, Medium and Slow.The slow-release nitrogen materials release over an extended (up to 12 - 16 weeks) period without promoting excessive leaf growth. These sources do not stimulate shoot growth to the extent that root growth is negatively affected. The gradual nitrogen release enhances the recuperative potential of turfgrass.

Suståne® is made from aerobically composted turkey litter. Research has shown that Suståne® stimulates soil microbial activity which is beneficial for turfgrass. Suståne® provides predictable slow release organic nitrogen and is an excellent addition to any turf nutrition program.

At the same applied rate, fertilizers of a smaller size will contain many more particles than one of a larger size. Using fertilizers of smaller sizes will increase the uniformity of nutrient distribution which results in more even colour, smoother turf playing surfaces and healthier turf.

CArBoXy® organic carboxylic acid promotes root development and improves the availability and uptake of mineral elements, even less mobile nutrients such as phosphorous and calcium. extracted primarily from plant products such as rice hulls, wheat, & oats and then refined to produce an efficient complexing agent and plant stimulant. CArBoXy® is the newest improvement in a technology that has been developed through research and use in the green industry for more than 30 years.

CArBoXy® carboxylic acid forms a protective layer around nutrients normally bound to soil particles and plant parts for easier uptake by plants. the complexed molecule formed by CArBoXy® is small and moves into the plants through the roots and leaves more easily. once in the plant, the naturally derived organic acid releases the nutrient and is then metabolized.

Among the benefits of using CArBoXy® organic acids are increased root mass, thicker cell walls and increased uptake & translocation of nutrients which leads to better utilization of applied nutrients.

ACECAP® with Orthene® Systemic Insecticide for TreesACECAP® Systemic Insecticide Tree Implants control a broad range of destructive pests of ornamental trees. They provide season-long control with 12 to 18 weeks residual in deciduous trees and up to a year in evergreens. ACECAPS® contain 98.9% Orthene®, a non-restricted use systemic insecticide, so no special equipment or protective clothing is required. They are an ideal treatment for trees that are difficult to spray because of their location (near people, pets, waterways, etc.) or are too large to reach easily.

APPLiCAtion Guide1. Measure the circumference of the tree in centimeters at chest height. Divide

by 10.16 to determine the number of implants required.

2. Drill 3.2 cm deep holes every 10.6 centimeters spiraling up around the circum-ference of the tree.

3. After drilling the first hole, use a measuring instrument (i.e. flat end of a pen or pencil) as a depth gauge, insert completely into the hole and mark the depth by placing your thumb against the outer bark. Be sure to remove drill shavings from each hole. Repeat this procedure for every drilled hole.

4. Place the implant cartridge into the pre-drilled holes by simply pressing them into the tree trunk. Be sure to press the cartridges in as far as possible. Using a hammer and a flat end punch or dowel rod, carefully drive the cartridge into the tree, recessing the large end slightly beneath the cambium layer, which is just below the bark.
