FERTILISERS - LebanonTurf 

GRANULAR FERTILISERS 

LebanonTurf, a worldwide market leader in the manufacture 

and development of turf fertiliser. LebanonTurf products 

incorporate the very latest in patented nutrient release 

technology and granule formulation. LebanonTurf invest 

heavily in the research and development of turf fertilisers and 

LebanonTurf’s most popular ranges, proven analysis and 

latest technologies are now available to the UK and European 

markets. 

LebanonTurf pack high levels of NPK into every fertiliser granule; 

reducing the amount of carrier and filler material to almost zero. 

This means LebanonTurf products can be applied at ultra low 

application rates, avoiding needless packaging, bulky storage or 

expensive transport helping our environment. 

Whether you are applying to golf greens, sports pitches, lawns, 

landscapes or general amenity turf the Lebanon range offers 

uncompromising quality and top performance to suit the budget of 

today’s turf managers. 

Key Benefits 

• MESA ‘hoof proof’ controlled release nitrogen in patented 

single particle form, even if the granule is broken MESA 

release technology ensures consistent and controlled release 

of Nitrogen where coated slow release products can fail. 

• Ultra-low application rates and high longevity offer cost 

savings and a more environmentally friendly approach to 

turf management. 

• Achieve efficient potassium release and outstanding 

longevity using Lebanon’s patented EXPO particle. 

MESA ® is the first nitrogen source to combine ammonium 

sulphate with methylene urea in a single particle. The result is 

an effective and efficiently controlled nitrogen source. MESA ® 

provides a consistent, brilliant colour. Unlike SCU, MESA ® does 

not rely on coating or lose its slow release attributes when 

cracked. With MESA ® , even if cracked, the granule still 

maintains its slow release properties. That's why half a piece of 

MESA ® is still MESA ® ! (Typical nitrogen release: 6-9 weeks) 

EXPO has been designed to extend the benefits of 

potassium. Expo is a unique, patented, single-particle made 

by combining methylene urea and potassium sulphate. It goes 

beyond standard potassium sulphate found in most fertiliser; 

Expo was specifically designed to deliver a more efficient, 

cost-effective, controlled release source of potash. It is only 

available in LebanonTurf Products. (Typical nitrogen release 10- 

14 weeks; typical potassium release: 8-10 weeks) 

Meth-EX 40 ® is the most efficient, high activity methylene urea 

complex available today. Meth-Ex 40 ® is nitrogen source that 

provides extended microbial release without the need for 

coatings. Microbial release, dependent upon soil moisture and 

soil temperature, allows nitrogen to be released when the turf 

needs it most. The result is colour response often the same day 

of application, minimal surge growth and maximum long-term 

response. (Typical nitrogen release: 8-10 weeks) 

Composite Technology is a patented breakthrough in the 

fertiliser manufacturing process that produces a superior 

fertiliser. We start with premium forms of nitrogen and fuse 

them with phosphorus, potassium, and micro nutrients to 

create a completely revolutionary, homogeneous granule. The 

result is a granule with better particle dispersion, better 

integrity, and a higher measurable amount of nitrogen activity.

Country Club ® 16+8+8 

A homogenous all round fertiliser, particularly useful on football and rugby 

pitches, but could be used on any outfield turf where fast response, good 

growth and strong rooting is sought. Can be applied earlier in the growing 

season. With higher phosphate to help seedlings establish and quickly 

available nitrogen for the recovery of worn turf. Packed full of nutrient in a 

2:1:1 ratio the homogenous granule facilitates effective, even spreading 

whilst allowing lower, more economic application rates. Contains the 

secondary turf nutrient sulphur which enhances response and improves 

overall turf vigour.

Country Club ® 19+0+9+1% Mg 

A premium, homogeneous fertiliser based on Meth-Ex 40 ® controlled release 

nitrogen and potassium sulphate. For use on all outfield turf, fairways, tees, 

amenity turf and lawns. Can be applied all through the growing season 

providing a steady release of nutrient to keep turf in tip top condition over a 

period of weeks and months. Meth-Ex 40 ® delivers a high level of controlled 

release nitrogen for economical, long lasting turf nutrition that will not 

produce surge growth, and that presents a very low scorch risk. A zero 

phosphate formulation for use where phosphate levels are already 

adequate but with plenty of potassium to help turf cope with 

environmental stress. Smaller homogenous granules aid easy 

effective spreading and avoid unsightly speckling even at lower 

application rates. Magnesium will further enhance a deep green colour.

Country Club ® 12+0+18+1%Fe+1%Mg 

A premium, homogeneous, micro sized, high potassium, conventional release 

fertiliser perfect for use on putting greens, bowls greens and all fine turf. For 

use in the growing season, particularly on soils and rootzones showing a 

potassium deficiency and to prepare for periods of plant stress. 

The readily available nutrients, coming from tiny, homogenous prills and 

flexible application rates give the turf manager maximum control over plant 

feeding. A higher ratio of potassium to nitrogen conveniently allows for plant 

potassium levels to be increased so as to help resist summer drought stress. 

The omission of phosphate makes this fertiliser suitable for zero phosphate 

feeding programmes in situations where finer perennial grasses are being 

promoted. 




6-8 weeks 0.5-1.5mm All Turf 15-25 22.7kg 1,500-900 

Country Club ® 16+4+8+1% Fe SGN 145 

A homogeneous, mini granular, conventional release fertiliser suitable for 

high quality turf such as for lawns, golf greens, approaches, tees and other 

close mown turf. Works as an excellent economic high quality mini granule 

outfield fertiliser for football, rugby and cricket. For use in spring and 

summer. With 90% of the nitrogen available from ammonium sulphate, 

this is an ideal quick acting starter fertiliser, or for use anytime in the 

growing season when a rapid green up is required. A balanced analysis 

with added iron and manganese provides complete turf feeding. The 

homogenous granulation and small size allows lower rate applications to 

be made without risk of speckling.

“This is my second season using Proscape 25+0+5. I find the product to be well packaged and very easy to apply I have had no problems with 

scorch and it greens the grass up quickly and stays green and lush for a full 8 weeks at only 20g/m 2 . The most important thing is that all my 

customers are very happy!” 

Frank Scullion, Lawn Partner

Country Club ® 18+4+12+2% Mg 

A homogenous fine turf fertiliser that can be used on all turf types such as 

golf and bowls greens throughout the growing season. Apply to provide all 

round balanced feeding. With Meth-Ex 40 ® slow release nitrogen for a long 

lasting effect and steady growth but from less applications. An excellent 

choice for the maintenance of turf, the 18+4+12 nutrient package replaces 

those lost through the collection of clippings. The inclusion of 

magnesium, a vital part of chlorophyll promotes vigorous, green 

turf. Low application rates for excellent value coverage. 





Country Club ® 8+4+24 

A low nitrogen, high potassium feed in homogenous mini granule. Can be 

used throughout the year on all turf types from golf to amenity; in situations 

where potassium is shown to be deficient, where ever turf needs a lift or in 

preparation for autumn and winter. The formulation contains over 50% 

controlled release nitrogen for a more gentle, longer lasting performance. A 

measure of phosphate to assist desirable perennial grasses build strong root 

systems in preparation for winter. Sulphate of potassium delivers 

potassium and also sulphate sulphur, increasing turf hardiness and 

the ability to resist stress whilst also maintaining colour. Traces of 

iron, magnesium and manganese ensure excellent long lasting 

performance and appearance on greens, sports turf or fine lawns over 

the autumn and winter period.

nitrogen and high quality potassium sulphate in a 1 to 2 ratio, suitable for 

application on all turf, including fine. For spring, summer or autumn feeding, 

as a spring starter and base feed, summer stress buster or autumn turf 

hardener. The higher potassium level promotes increased summer and 

winter hardiness as well as improved traffic and stress tolerance. The 

nitrogen package is based upon Meth-Ex 40 ® , a most efficient methylene 

urea complex. 50% of the nitrogen is derived from Meth-Ex 40 ® and 

43% is controlled release. Iron and manganese are included for 

more complete turfgrass nutrition. The tiny granule and high 

analysis allow double the normal coverage per bag than can be 

achieved with some other fertilisers.

to support strong growth. 

ProScape 30+0+0 100% MESA ® combines the greening power of 

ammonium sulphate with the staying power of Meth-Ex 40 ® in a 

single homogenous particle. With 100% of the nitrogen coming 

from MESA ® longevity is greater, risk of scorch is avoided, plant 

growth is strong and steady. An economical product, it can be 

used to feed large areas but with only a minimum number of 

applications.

FERTILISERS 


Everris Greenmaster Pro-Lite 

Pro-Lite is the Scotts/Everris registered trade name for a new type of ‘micro’ 

fertiliser granule technology that contains zeolite in a homogenous form. 

Zeolite’s molecular structure is a 3D cage-like framework of silica and 

alumina molecules. Due to the spaces and channels in each molecule it acts 

as a microscopic sponge. Excess oxygen is held in the framework and creates 

a negative charge that holds cations and water molecules until needed by the 

plant. As a result zeolite gives improved longevity, dispersion and a more 

homogenous granule. 

• Quick turf reaction 

• Pro-Lite/zeolite technology enhances longevity 

• Fine granule for quick dispersal 

Everris Sportsmaster 

Many fertilisers in the Scotts/Everris range contain controlled release 

elements providing nitrogen over an extended period. There are 

circumstances, however, when the turf manager may not need all the 

benefits these particular products can give. Sportsmaster products fill that 

gap. 

The Sportsmaster products contain compound granular fertilisers. They 

are manufactured as mini-granules providing ease of application and an 

even distribution. This ensures even growth, quality and colour over the 

whole area and prevents unsightly specking effects. 

• Mini-granules provide ease of application and an even distribution 

• True compounds with each granule containing the desired spread of 

nutrients 

• Ensures even growth, quality and colour over the whole area and 

prevents the unsightly specking effects 

• Versatile application rates, as low as 35g/m 2 enabling one bag to 

cover 714m 2 making them very economical

GRASS SEED 

LIMAGRAIN MM RANGE 

LIMAGRAIN 

MM RANGE 

Quality Sports & 

Amenity Turf starts with 

an MM seed mixture 

Limagrain UK Ltd is part of Group Limagrain, the largest 

plant breeding and seed development company in the EU 

and one of the largest seed 

companies in the world. As a 

global seed business Limagrain 

has access to a wide range of 

grass varieties and cultivars 

which have been produced from 

an extensive programme of 

research and trialling. 

The best sports and amenity turf always starts with 

Limagrain MM seed. 

When it comes to product performance and appearance, 

top sports grounds throughout the country know they can 

rely on MM grass seed. The MM mixtures have a proven 

track record of producing the best possible swards for the 

intended end usage. 

Mixture Formulation 

MM cultivars are blended carefully into formulated 

mixtures which have proved successful in meeting the 

demands of the modern sports and amenity environment. 

The choice of species and varieties within each mixture 

are carefully considered so that they are compatible and 

together will produce a high quality sward. 

Seed Quality 

The performance of the grasses in the MM range are not 

the only measure of the quality of seed. Minimum 

standards for germination and purity are set by the EU, 

but Limagran strive to achieve much higher standards 

which can be confirmed via staff in their own licensed 

seed treating facility, to ensure that the MM mixtures 

always deliver the highest quality in relation to purity and 

germination. In addition all varieties used in the MM 

range have been thoroughly tested at the Sports Turf 

Research Institute, so you can be sure this quality product 

will meet your requirements for play, appearance and 

maintenance. 

Headstart ® 

All of the MM range has been 

Headstart® treated, this unique 

and innovative product is based on 

a seaweed extract with a high 

cytoquinine content. Headstart® 

provides a faster germination and 

emergence - especially under less 

than favourable growing 

conditions. For example, under 

difficult conditions Headstart ® treated seed has the 

potential to deliver 70% more plants than seed which has 

not been treated.

• Labour saving and cost effective 

Feed per seed 

iSeed ® is a nutrient seed coating that consists of seeds and 

coating materials. The coating consists of a combination of fast 

acting and slow release fertilisers. Per 100kgs of bare seeds, 

20kg N and 4kg P are applied to a field. This means that in the 

case of Agrostis where we are sowing at low seeding rates and 

all the problems that entails, we now have a ready made 

solution for 

sowing at easier 

rates. As the 

fertiliser is 

coated onto the 

seeds, the 

germinating and 

developing 

seedling 

receives the 

benefit, not the 

surrounding 

plants. This is 

particularly 

important when 

overseeding into a competitive sward. The nitrogen and 

phosphate in iSeed ® are up to four times more efficient 

compared to broadcast applied ordinary fertilisers. Effectively the 

amounts applied in the above example would then become 

80kgs of N and 16kgs of P per hectare. 

Johnsons Sports Seed 

All Johnsons mixes are both TurfGuard and Growmax treated. 

TurfGuard - Increased germination and establishment 

TurfGuard is a specific strain of the 

soil bacteria Bacillus subtilis, which is 

commonly found in the soil, on roots 

and on leaves. Applied to grass seed 

its spores germinate and rapidly colonise the root system of the 

new plant. This provides a barrier to soil pathogens while 

producing beneficial growth hormones that assist the grass plant 

in numerous ways. 

GroMax - Turf Grass Seed Treatment 

GroMax is a unique and effective new 

seed treatment which stimulates the 

soil's micro-flora, resulting in 

improved root growth and turf 

establishment, stress tolerance, and enhanced water and nutrient 

uptake in grasses.

Horsemax Paddock 10kg 

HorseMax Elite is a high 

specification grass mixture designed 

for the creation and maintenance of 

all types of horse pastures. The 

species selected have been carefully 

chosen for their suitability for horses 

and their ability to reduce the risk of 

Laminitus when compared to 

standard horse mixtures. 

This long term mixture has been 

formulated to support the diverse 

demands horses place on a sward. A 

horse paddock has to not only 

provide a source of food but also an 

exercise area, placing great stress on 

the sward. Couple this with the need 

to produce some winter forage and 

it is obvious why some horse paddocks look completely bare by 

the end of the summer season.

WETTING AGENTS 

Hydrate 10L 

Hydrate is a unique proprietary 

blend of soil active surfactants 

formulated for monthly 

applications in professional turf 

management. Hydrate corrects the 

conditions associated with water-repellent 

soils symptomatic of localised dry spot (LDS) 

often found in golf courses, sports fields, 

turf farms and managed residential lawn 

situations. 

Hydrate will improve the rate and depth of water penetration in 

organic acid coated sandy soils, and impermeable compacted 

soils. Hydrate will improve irrigation efficiencies by reducing 

pooled water over hydrophobic soils and reduce runoff. Hydrate 

will improve turfs playing conditions and result in operational 

cost savings to golf courses and public recreation facilities. 

Hydrate becomes an even more important management tool in 

regions where limited water resources are a growing public and 

environmental concern. Hydrate can be used all year round. 

Optimal performance is obtained when used with regular 

maintenance program of monthly applications during the 

growing season. Application timing and rates of Hydrate may 

vary upon the time of year, soil type, thatch depth, and local 

environmental conditions. 

Hydrate performs best when initial application is made early in 

the growing season prior to environmental conditions that 

produce plant stress. For regular lawncare, apply on initial dose 

of 20l per hectare followed by monthly maintenance treatment 

of 10l per hectare. 

Note: For best results, irrigate immediately after use or apply 

when rainfall is expected. 

Application Rates: Fine turf, fine lawns - 20l per ha in 700- 

800l water 

Golf fairways, sports fields - 12l per ha in 400-800l water 

Knapsack Rate: 330ml in 10l water

GROWTH REGULATORS 

Primo Maxx 0.5L/5L 

Trinexapac-ethyl is the active ingredient in Primo MAXX that 

works by redirecting plant growth. It specifically targets the 

gibberellic acid site responsible for cell elongation in grass. 

Not only does Primo MAXX inhibit vertical growth, but actually 

diverts plant growth downward into the root system to produce 

increased food reserves and lateral stem development. This in 

turn produces a thicker, healthier sward that better equips your 

turf to withstand temperature extremes, moisture loss, traffic and 

wear and tear, and even helps in the management of poa 

annua. 

Primo MAXX can be used on all well maintained quality turf 

grass areas such as golf course fairways, golf tees, greens and 

surrounds. It can also be used to help manage areas which are 

difficult to mow such as sloping banks or turf edges by flower 

beds and pavements. 

• Easy to use liquid formulation 

• Reduces grass top growth 

• Flexible application rates for all turf surfaces 

• Improves turf colour and appearance 

• Cuts down mowing frequency - one application can reduce 



grass clippings by up to 50% 

• Cuts down wear and tear on 

machinery 

Pack Coverage: Variable 

Application programme 

The Primo MAXX programme can be 

commenced at any stage of the 

growing season, but ideally should 

start at the onset of spring growth and 

continue whilst grass is actively 

growing. Primo MAXX programmes 

will give the best results in preventing 

the effects of drought - by maintaining 

healthy grass for longer and aiding 

rapid recovery - if a series of 

treatments are made before grass comes under stress (Pre-stress 

Conditioning). 

Primo MAXX was voted the No.1 advancement in modern 

greenkeeping, in a survey for Golfweek's SuperNEWS. It was cited 

as the first PGR that coulid be safely and predictably used on all 

fine turf areas, which has proven an invaluable tool to save 

mowing labour and maximise turf colour and density.

Key Points: 

• Reduces leaf moisture, suppressing dew 

and guttation fluid formation 

• Enhanced longevity over conventional 

dew suppressants 

• Faster drying times following rain or irrigation 

• Drier surfaces can result in less disease 

• Quicker recovery from frost 

• Reduced labour requirement and drier cutting

water. (It is important to maintain a 1.5% dilution) Make a 

pretreatment application 1-2 days before aeration and/or 

topdressing. The shorter the interval between application and 

aeration, the better the results. 

Early Start 2L 

Early Start will control dew formation on turf 

areas, such as tees and greens. It can be 

applied all year round depending on the 

degree of dew formation. Needs no 

watering in after application, although it is 

advisable to irrigate the applied areas 

before mowing. 

• If this is not possible, then leave mowing 

basket off until rainfall occurs 

• Early Start will typically give 1-3 weeks 

control depending on the rate of use 

• Apply with a boom sprayer or hand sprayer at the rates given 

in the table

NOW WITH SPECIFIC OFF-LABEL APPROVAL FOR ORNAMENTAL SHRUB BEDS (20102995) 

RONSTAR 2G is a granular herbicide which contains the active ingredient oxadiazon. This broadspectrum 

herbicide will control most annual broad leaf weeds and grasses. Ronstar 2G is created 

as a granule to give pre-emergence residual control of the weeds, while offering maximum levels 

of crop safety. 

How Ronstar 2G works 

When Ronstar 2G is applied to moist soil, it dissolves, which forms an invisible barrier against 

germinating weeds. As weed seeds germinate and grow emerge up through the soil surface,they pick up the herbicide through the 

shoots and die. Weed control should be effective for up to 3 months. There is no uptake of herbicide via the roots and it is this 

property of RONSTAR 2G that ensures safety to the plant. 

Weeds Controlled 

Weed species controlled include the following: 

Annual Meadow Grass, Annual Nettle, Black-bindweed, Black Nightshade, Charlock, Cleavers, Corn Spurrey, Corn Poppy, Docks

Overall application 

The timing of the application of BLASTER 

herbicide is crucial. For good results the 

product must be applied to actively growing 

weeds. 

Spot treatments 

On grassland where weed populations are too low to justify 

overall spraying, all the above weeds will be controlled by a spot

Medallion TL 3L 

Medallion TL offers an exciting option to 

provide high levels of disease control and 

long-lasting results from a modern bioinspired 

fungicide. The exciting Contact+ 

activity of Medallion TL can tackle 

damaging pathogens on the leaf, thatch 

and the soil surface. 

On the leaf....Medallion TL is an extremely 

effective contact fungicide, providing a 

shield of protection on the leaf to prevent 

infection getting in and to stop disease 

spread. Trials have shown the innovative 

formulation of Medallion TL ensures the 

fungicide bonds onto the leaf wax layer, making it rainfast within 

one hour. Tight binding to the leaf coupled with rapid 

rainfastness ensures it won’t be washed off by rainfall or 

irrigation, and will continue to provide long-lasting results. 

In the thatch and soil surface.... Medallion TL also targets turf 

disease pathogens present in the thatch and soil surface, 

significantly reducing the reservoir of infection. Tackling disease 

in the thatch knocks down spore numbers that will reduce 

disease pressure and can enhance the duration of protection 

delivered. 

• Offers a new solution with outstanding high level of disease 

control and exceptional long-term results. 

• Bio-inspired by naturally occurring soil organisms which stop 

fungi developing. 

• Knockdown activity gives the rapid reduction of Fusarium

CastClear Worm Deterrent 10L 

CastClear is a unique combination of 

nutrient materials that have been clearly 

shown to reduce worm-cast levels on sports 

turf. A unique non-pesticidal nutrient that 

increases turf health and deters wormcasts. 

CastClear contains more than 5% amino 

nitrogen with more than 15% bio-organic 

sulphur. Close scientific evaluation has 

shown that this new product does not kill 

worms or reduce populations, but does 

deter worms from travelling through treated 

soils. 

It is unique in using an environmentally 

friendly surfactant system that moves the nutrient into the upper 

soil structure and fixes it there; providing good persistence of 

deterrent effect until breaking down to natural nutrients 

absorbed by plant roots. It can be used with absolute safety from 

first tiller formed on new seeds at low rates of application, and 

year round on established turf.

Crossfire 480 1L 

An insecticide for control of leatherjackets and frit 

fly in amenity grassland and managed turf. 

Leatherjackets can cause serious damage to turf. 

The adult crane flies are active in the late summer 

to autumn period with each female laying about 

200-300 eggs. These hatch into larvae in about 

14 days and remain in the soil for about 9 months 

before pupating and then hatching into the next 

season's crane fly. The larvae feed on the turf (and 

roots) biting off stems at or just below ground 

level, resulting in the turf dying back, often in clumps. This leads 

to bare patches which are then prone to weed invasion. 

• A powerful contact insecticide 

• Effective control of leatherjackets and frit fly 

• Long periods of control 

• Rainfast - not subject to leaching 

• Easy-to-use liquid formulation 

Application Rate: 1.5l per ha in 200-1,000l water

Nemasys Chafer Grub Killer 

Apply Nemasys Chafer Grub Killer to 

moist lawns from August to early 

October. This is when the young grub 

larvae are active and the temperature 

is above 12ºC (54ºF). The nematodes 

(Heterorhabditis megidis) seek out the 

chafer grubs and attack the pest by 

entering natural body openings. Once 

inside, they release bacteria that stops 

the pest from feeding, quickly killing 

the pest. They do not stop there. The nematodes reproduce 

inside the dead pest and release a new generation of hungry 

infective nematodes, which disperse and search for further prey. 

Nemasys Chafer Grub Killer must be used within 3-4 weeks of 

being received. 

Do not apply Nemasys Chafer Grub killer too late, since the 

grubs start to move down deeper in the soil and become inactive 

until the following spring. However, as this move downwards is 

temperature dependent, in some years it may still be alright to 

apply later. 

As long as the grubs are near the surface and the soil 

temperature is above 12ºC (54ºF) nematodes can still be 

applied. 

Pack Sizes: 100m 2 or 500m 2 

Nemasys Leatherjacket Killer 

Apply when the young leatherjackets are active in the 

soil, this is typically late August through to 

the end of October. When you start to see 

the adult daddy-long-legs (towards the 

end of August) you will know that in a few 

days they will be laying eggs. These will 

hatch quickly, therefore, aim to apply about 

a week to two weeks after you see the 

adults. The nematodes (Steinernema feltiae), 

seek out the leatherjackets and attack the 

pest by entering natural body openings. Once inside, they 

release bacteria that stops the pest from feeding, quickly killing 

the pest. They do not stop there. The nematodes reproduce 

inside the dead pest and release a new generation of hungry 

infective nematodes, which disperse and search for further prey. 

Apply to moist turf when the soil temperature is above 12ºC 

(54ºF) and water them in well. The nematode needs to be 

washed well in so that they reach the roots where the 

leatherjackets will be. Make sure the turf does not dry out after 

applying nematodes.

AQUATIC WEED CONTROL 

Roundup Pro Biactive 360 5L 

Roundup Pro Biactive provides long-term 

control of aquatic weeds in ditches and 

drainage channels. It controls emergent and 

floating weeds including especially difficult 

to kill species such as reeds, rushes and 

sedges. When used as directed there is little 

risk to spray operators, wildlife or the 

environment. 

Roundup Pro Biactive may be used for the 

control of aquatic weeds in the presence of 

fish if used in strict accordance with the 

recommendations in this section. For 

information on susceptible weeds and algae for all the above 

treatments please contact the sales office. Before any application 

of the above chemical is made an application to the Environment 

Agency must be made and approval will have to be given in 

writing by the same. Specialist equipment and spraying licence 

will also be necessary.

Blanket Answer 800g 

Blanket Answer is a unique blend of minerals 

and enzymes to combat blanket weed. 

The special formula works where many bacteria 

cultures fail. It is 100% safe for fish and 

desirable aquatic plants. 

Blanket Answer is simply added to the pond by 

pouring the mixed powder and pond water from 

a designated watering can evenly over the 

surface. The pond will initially take on a milky 

appearance, but this will clear after about 5 

days. An 800g bottle is sufficient to treat 

10,000 litres (10m 3 ) of water body. A 30ml 

measuring cup is supplied with each pack. One level scoop will 

treat 285 litres. Remember, nothing is to be gained by a higher 

than recommended dose. Most users of Blanket Answer have 

found that after one dose, no more is required. But in the 

unlikely event, more can be added later if needed. 

Application Rate: One 30ml Scoop per 285l 

Pack Coverage: 10,000l 

Pro Crystal 4.09kg 

ProCrystal ® controls swimming or 

floating unicellular and filamentous 

algae found in ponds, lakes and all 

stagnant expanses of water favouring 

their development. These algae develop 

and proliferate in nutrient rich waters 

and are the main cause of oxygen 

depletion of the water following their 

decay. Apart from the aesthetic 

unpleasantness caused, they create a 

physical obstacle to activities such as 

irrigation, water sports, fishing and fish 

farms. ProCrystal ® is a plant-based inert powder inoculated by 6 

strains of class 1 bacteria (over 6 x 10° bacteria per single-dose 

sachet). It very quickly consumes and degrades the excess 

nitrogen (nitrates and ammoniacal nitrogen) and phosphates that 

algae feed on to develop. 

The algae die swiftly after treatment by being deprived of the 

nourishment essential to their development. Many tests 

conducted on infested bodies of water show the rapid reduction 

in nitrite, nitrate and phosphate concentrations in water treated 

with ProCrystal. 

How to Use 

ProCrystal ® is used by distributing the unopened sachets 

uniformly on the surface of the water. It may be applied from the 

riverside or from a boat. The sachets should be thrown directly 

onto the surface of the water requiring treatment. The dosage 

varies according to the depth of the water and application 

timing:

Excalibar 25L - Barley Straw Extract 

Excalibar is an established, environmentfriendly 

extract of barley straw preparation 

to fight and control algae. 

• Not a herbicide. It comes as an easilyapplied 

solution, and is harmless to fish 

and other animals 

• Produced under carefully controlled 

conditions, and is batch-tested to 

MAINTAIN CONSISTENT 

CONCENTRATIONS OF ANTIALGAE 

COMPOUNDS 

• 100% active from the moment it is poured into the water, and 

blocks further growth of the algae present. Because it does not 

directly kill the algae, Excalibar should ideally be used as a 

preventive tool, and added in the spring, before the algae 

begin to grow strongly. It can still be used under algal bloom 

conditions, but may take some weeks to bring the bloom 

under control, as the algal cells expire. Suspended algae 

(green and blue-green species) succumb to Excalibar more 

quickly than filamentous types 

Application Rates: When used as a preventative - 5l per acre 

for weeks 1 & 2 and then week 3 onwards 1l per acre per week.

Mixture B 5L 

Mixture-B is a non-ionic wetter/spreader, 

which greatly enhances the effect of 

glyphosate. When used it cuts the waxy 

layer on plant leaves to speed the uptake 

of glyphosate. It can thus be most useful in 

a number of ways. Firstly it will enhance 

uptake to kill difficult weeds such as 

bracken, Japanese knotweed, brush wood 

weeds, sow thistles and others. Secondly it 

will speed up the action of glyphosate to 

reduce the time it takes to work. Thirdly it 

will speed uptake if rainfall is threatening and ensure the 

glyphosate works in marginal conditions. Finally, for “normal” 

weeds, its effect will enhance the effects of glyphosate enough to 

allow a considerable reduction in application rates and still give 

excellent results. Use at 2% of spray solution. Every spray 

operative should keep some handy!

Comply with EU 

Pesticide 

Reduction Targets 

ALS are pleased to introduce ‘Ultra Low Volume’ spraying 

technology from Germany and Holland where pesticide use has 

been strictly limited, in order to meet new EU environmental 

standards that will soon require greatly reduced use of pesticides 

in public areas. 

The Mankar ULV system is highly cost effective compared to using 

knapsack sprayers or CDA lances. The initial cost of a Mankar 

lance can be recovered in labour hours saved and reduced 

herbicide used in less than one month for any user 

engaged in continuous weed control work. 

This technology has a number of benefits for the user and the 

environment: 

• Reduced pesticide application rates and costs but with 

first class weed control 

• Controlled droplet size and patented vertical application 

eliminates spray drift damage 

• Approved for neat application of Roundup Pro Biactive 450 

• Best glyphosate at killing weeds 

• Best environmental and human safety profile 

• Huge labour savings and improved productivity 

• Extends working weather windows 

• Much lighter work than knapsacks 

• Minimum use of pesticide 

• Very accurate application and sharp variable spray band 

widths. 

• Widely used in Europe over many years 

• Wide range of equipment options 

The system ranges from a selection of 

hand operated shoulder supported hand 

lance sprayers to pedestrian wheeled 

sprayers to vehicle mounted sprayers 

that can be fitted on a variety of utility 

vehicles. 

The system can apply Roundup 

ProBiactive 450 (systemic 

glyphosate) neat for use in a wide 

variety of amenity, urban or 

horticultural situations. Typically, 

application rates used are half 

normal rates, which because of 

technical innovations within the 

application technology give an 

even better kill.

1.7metres, the S25 will make quick 

work when spraying herbicides, 

pesticides, fungicides, liquid ice 

control products, or fertilisers. Our 2- 

mode valve allows for either transport 

or spray operation and is selected 

high on the handle. While in transport 

mode, the S25 pump continues to operate agitating the material 

in the tank for a desired mixture. In addition, with the handy

in a snap. 

The S25 includes three different nozzle tips of fine, medium, and 

coarse, for controlling your application rates within your spray 

coverage. Having a 25 litre capacity self-agitating tank, the S25 

will do the job of several tank sprayers and without the pain of 

carrying them in hand or on your back. Utilising a ground driven 

pump, with no battery, the S25 operates at walking speed and 

pushes no harder than a small spreader. 

Designed for commercial use, the S25 will perform under the 

daily use by contractors, as well as the occasional use of the 

homeowner with equal results. When you need to apply a liquid 

in any season for any reason, the S25 is there to help put an end 

to the work.

RECYCLING 

Amenity XS - 

Part of the 

Farm XS 

scheme 

ALS offer a ‘closed 

loop’ plastic 

recycling scheme 

where at least 

98% of all the 

plastics collected 

are recycled to 

produce new bags, 

chemical bottles, 

wheelie bins and 

drainage pipes. 

It is illegal to burn or bury plastic. It can be sent to 

landfill, but many of the plastics used will take over 

100 years to decompose. 

Reduce your carbon footprint and work with ALS to 

dispose of your waste in an environmentally safe way 

by recycling into new products. 

The Amenity Industry produces tens of thousands of 

tons of plastic waste, usually from fertiliser bags, 

chemical and fertiliser bottles, drums and tubs. 

Sign up to the Amenity XS scheme and we will work 

with you to make sure that your waste is recycled not 

dumped. 

We charge a small annual membership fee based on 

the size of your facility and, with that, you receive a 

dumpy bag to store your empty bags and containers 

plus full documentation, including a certificate of 

scheme membership. 

There are a number of depots around the UK where 

you can take your plastic free of charge or, for a 

small fee, we will arrange collection periodically.

LINE MARKING & LINE MARKING EQUIPMENT 

Primo Maxx 0.5L/5L 

The world leading turf growth regulator, 

Primo Maxx, is now approved for mixing 

with line marking paint - helping to retain 

line visibility for up to 50% longer. It also 

maintains turf quality and eliminates the 

time, cost and inconvenience of restoring 

lines burnt-out with total herbicides. 

Sports turf managers could halve the time 

and cost of line marking this season, with a 

new approval to mix Primo Maxx with line 

marking paints. Independent trials by STRI 

have shown the opportunity to retain line 

visibility for up to 50% longer, compared to line marking alone. 

Mixing the turf growth regulator with line marking paint can 

suppress grass growth for up to six weeks and has been shown 

to give significantly better retention of line colour and visibility 

for longer. Furthermore, there is no damage to the playing 

surface associated with total herbicide applications, which can 

allow weeds to ingress and create the need for re-sowing at the 

season's end. 

Primo Maxx is approved for use as a pre-mix with paints for 

wheel-to-wheel application or with spray line marking 

applicators. The combination has been extensively tested with a 

full range of commercial paints and line marking equipment. 

Application Rate: 2ml per litre of line marking paint applied, or 

40ml in a 20 litre tank.

Titan Electric Sprayline Marker 

The Titan spray marker is a hand 

built, well-balanced and very robust 

spray line marker offering high 

specification and exceptional value 

for money. 

Whether its single or multi-pitch line 

marking, the Titan will deliver a 

smooth, constant and even spray line 

marking performance. The battery 

has a long powerful life and will drive 

the pump for a full days marking from a single charge. The 

pump is both efficient and economical and when used in 

conjunction with the variable pressure valve, enables the 

groundsman to control the volume of paint delivered to the twin 

spray heads for a dense professional line or a variable more 

economical line. 

The Titan is designed so components can be easily accessed. The 

battery is easily removed and can be charged independently 

from the machine. 

The Titan is also suitable for use on hard surfaces such as 

tarmac, for marking out car parking spaces etc. Please note that 

the paint to be used for this purpose is the PERMA MARK. 

The Grassline Titan offers a variable line width of 50mm, 75mm 

or 100mm (2, 3 and 4 inch)

the system. When activated, the paint will by pass the spray 

heads and return back into the tank. The pressure valve lever 

can also be used to regulate the pump pressure if required and 

reduce the volume of paint being delivered to the spray heads 

for more economical line marking. The quantity of paint being 

sprayed can be reduced to a minimum of approximately 600ml 

per minute 

Twin Spray Heads 

You can choose to use a single spray for normal line marking or 

both sprays for a double spray line marking delivery but in a 

single pass. Economical too! Each spray head delivers an 

approximate economical 790ml of mixed marking paint per 

minute. 

Floating Spray Boom 

The spray boom has vertical movement. This allows it to 'float' 

and the spray gliders to remain in contact with the ground and 

ride the natural undulations producing even, dense, lines with a 

crisp clean edge. For vehicle transportation and non marking 

Movement around the sports ground, the Floating boom can be 

secured in the elevated position to avoid damaging the spray 

gliders and spray heads. 

Cleaning the Titan 

The Grassline Titan should be thoroughly cleaned after each 

marking session. This cleaning process need only take a couple 

of minutes. The tank is fitted with a drain plug underneath. 

Remove and flush out with clean water. With the drain plug 

replaced, fill the tank with a little clean water and pump through 

the spray heads until the spray is clear. The Titan is supplied with 

a FREE bottle of Titan Power Clean - a cleaning additive to 

ensure that all paint is removed during the cleaning process.

Prism Gauge 

Keeping a smooth, even 

surface on turf has never been 

so easy to see! 

Looking for a way to ensure 

that all your cutting units 

operate at the same height of 

cut and leave smooth, clean 

edges The prism gauge 

allows turf managers to view 

the cut and condition of their turf after being mown. 

Observe the blade tips, determine height of cut and guarantee 

consistency all with the prism gauge. Easy to view ruler make this 

the easiest tool to see what is really happening with their turf. 

Soil Compaction Tester/Penetrometer 

Compaction causes serious problems on 

many soils and can be a serious problem 

for turf managers. Compacted soils result in 

poor root and plant development. 

Compacted soil is dense; rooting may be 

adversely affected. Mega Pascal scale on 

as standard. 

Compaction severely restricts the manner in which 

soil naturally manages water; both by holding 

water near the surface of the field - and by limiting 

the ability of plants to take up water and 

nutrients from below. Excess surface 

water makes fields difficult to work in the 

spring and fall. 

A compacted zone means that fertilisers, pesticides and 

herbicides you apply cannot be utilised efficiently. If they 

are not absorbed, they can be wasted away easily.

SNOW AND ICE SOLUTIONS 

Rock Salt for Ice and Snow 

Conforming to Highway Standards, it is 

suitable for use on car parks, roads and 

paths to keep friends, family and employees 

on their feet over the winter. Councils and 

members of the public across the whole of 

the UK choose rock salt every year to clear 

snow and ice, so you can be sure of 

purchasing a well tested, quality product. It 

is graded to about 5mm and contains some 

moisture. Appears as an earthy shade of 

red when delivered. Compatible with any good rock salt 

spreader. 

Exothermic Instant Ice 

Melts 10kg 

Fast Acting - Exothermic Ice Melt. 

Instant Ice Melt is a fast acting, clean white 

granule that produces an exothermic 

reaction on contact with ice and snow for 

rapid melting and clearance. Instant Ice 

Melt works in extreme cold, down to - 

29°C, out-performing rock salt and 

conventional ice melts. 

Instant Ice Melt granules freely flow through standard spreaders 

to give up to six times the coverage of rock salt. Safe around 

people and animals. For use on hard surfaces only, avoid spill or 

application on to grassed and other areas of vegetation. 

Instant Ice Melt 10kg 

Instant ice melt is a urea based product. 

The benefits of using urea over salt is that 

it has a freezing point of -11 O C compared 

to salt at -5 O C. Instant Ice Melt is not 

corrosive to metalwork as salt is, and it is 

more environmentally acceptable because 

of its very low toxicity compared to salt. 

Non Toxic - Instant Ice Melt is a much 

safer compound than rock salt and does 

not effect animals or water and will not rust your spreading 

equipment or stain pathways or drives. 

Instant Ice Melt has excellent coverage compared to grit 

salt. Instant ice melt offers a perfect solution for creating safe 

surfaces in cold conditions. 

Magic Ice Melt 10kg 

Magic Ice Melt is a free flowing, rapid 

action, de-icer which comes in the shape of 

white granules. Magic ice melt is 

completely harmless to both animals and 

humans, so you can rest assured if children 

or pets are around it. Magic Ice Melt is also 

non-corrosive to fabrics, glass and metals; 

meaning it can be applied without the need 

to wear any form of protective clothing. 

Magic Ice Melt’s ability to flow freely allows 

it to be applied sparingly, meaning a bag 

will last much longer than the equivalent weight in rock salt. 

Offers up to 6 x the coverage of salt and is completely noncorrosive 

to metals and reinforced concrete, non-toxic to 

humans, animals and vegetation, and is clean and easy to apply. 

Universal Anti-Freeze 5L 

Morris’ Universal Anti-Freeze is produced 

to the highest quality and will protect the 

cooling systems of both Petrol and Diesel 

engines, including engines containing 

aluminium alloys. Universal Anti-Freeze is 

fully capable of protecting engines from 

damage caused by severe frost all the way 

down to -34°C and ice damage down to - 

50°C. Universal Anti-Freeze provides 

brilliant protection against corrosion and 

rusting of any and all parts of the cooling 

system and is recommended for all year 

round use. We recommend using this antifreeze 

in all sprayers during the winter 

period to prevent damage to pipes and tank. 

Universal Anti-Freeze is Ethylene Glycol based and meets 

technical requirements of BS6580:1992 which meets the 

demands of modern engines and their corresponding cooling 

systems.

SNOW PLOUGH, GRIT BINS AND SALT SPREADERS 


SNOW AND ICE SOLUTIONS 

SNOW PLOUGH, GRIT BINS AND SALT SPREADERS 

Polar Tuff Snow Plough 

This bi-directional snow plough makes it simple 

and easy to clear your driveway and sidewalks in 

half the time with half the effort needed for 

conventional shovelling. 

The Polar Tuff Snow Plough is slightly offset so 

that the snow you are trying to move out of the 

way gets pushed only to one side. Due 

to the flippable plough head, you can 

go in the opposite direction whilst 

pushing snow out to the same side as 

before; this means you don’t move 

snow onto the path you just cleared. 

• Helps manage snow accumulation 

• Reduces labour costs compared to a shovel 

• Sets inside doorways to be used frequently 

• Helps to achieve environmental goals

Grit Bins 

Our Grit Bin is one of the UK's best selling 

bins due to it being: large capacity, well 

designed, extremely strong and is also fitted 

with 2 electro plated hasp and staples 

which will not rust over time. Many grit bin 

manufacturers don't offer a locking facility 

as a standard and this, together with 

our highly competitive prices, 

results in the reason for our bins 

being so popular throughout 

the UK and Europe. The bin 

also has a "GRIT" graphic 

moulded into the lid. The 

graphic is applied to the bin at 

moulding stage and is therefore 

an integral part of the moulding and will 

not scratch off. 

Grit bins Summary: 

• Our Grit Bins are manufactured from strong, well built, 

medium density polyethylene 

• Ideal for roadside storage, car parks and company premises 

• Grit bins have a hinged lid - which protects grit/salt from the 

elements 

• Will not discolour or damage through long term exposure to 

the rain, wind, snow and other elements 

• Secure, lockable hasps included (2 fitted to the RW0002) 

• Functioning temperature range: -20 to 60+ degrees 

centigrade

BLEC Vibra Sand 

Injector 

Area of use - Golf Greens 

The Blec Sand Injector is 1m 

wide. Slits are cut by discs at 

25cm centres to a maximum 

depth of 14cm, 20mm wide. 

An oscillating cam causes 

vibration of the injection legs, 

which enables the slits to be 

filled to full depth without bridging, whilst shattering the 

surrounding soil. The Sand Injector will handle moist sand, leica 

and 2-6mm grit. 

(Needs to connect to existing drainage for operation to provide 

full drainage benefits). 

BLEC Sandmaster 

Areas of use - Sports 

Pitches and Golf Fairways 

The injection system on this 

machine is on the oscillating 

cam principal as described 

for the sand injector above. 

The machine is 1.5m wide, 

slits are cut by a rotary 

decompactor, blades set a 

25cm spacings and cutting 15mm slots at a maximum depth of 

20cm. Thus the ground is decompacted prior to the injection of 

drainage material, and ridging does not occur. Suitable for the 

application of moist sand, leica and 2-6mm grit. 

AFT Whizz Wheel 

This system was specifically 

designed to prolong the life 

of compacted, water logged 

golf greens for 10-years or 

more without the need for 

reconstruction. Not only is 

this a much cheaper 

alternative, it enables the 

character of existing greens, 

often built up over decades, 

to be preserved. Instead of 

material being added to the 

green, soil is taken away and 

replaced with 6mm 

aggregate (a silicate 

aggregate) - slits are then 

connected to an existing 

drain, or ALS will construct 

drainage to a suitable outfall. 

Benefits are: 

• Reduced use of temporary 

greens through water 

logging 

• Resulting improvement in 

greens soil structure 

• Better playing conditions 

• Improved root 

development 

• Earlier spring growth and 

reduced disease 

susceptibility 

“I have had a good working relationship with ALS for a number of years. The guys that 

come on site are very conscientious and never have to be supervised. I would not consider 

using any other contractor.” 

Sean Jarvis, Astbury Hall Golf Club

Mankar 

All Mankar spraying systems are based on 

ULV (Ultra-Low Volume) technology, 

meaning that they have “particularly small 

(output) quantities”. This is a further 

development of CDA (Controlled Droplet 

Application) technology whereby, in 

comparison to conventional spray 

processes, smaller liquid droplets can be 

generated with uniform sizes. The droplet 

size (or its narrow size spectrum) is, 

thereby, adapted to the area of 

application. Mankar halves chemical use 

and gives massive labour savings. 

Easy-Spray PKS Kerb 

and Pavement Sprayer 

Ideal for overall spray programmes, but especially to achieve 

higher standards (e.g. for Britain in Bloom), to complement 

existing weed control programmes, or as a ‘spot’ tidy up 

operation between main applications of herbicide. 

The herbicide is applied by automatically calibrated Controlled 

Droplet Application (CDA). With the EASY-SPRAY ® unit from 

Amenity Land Solutions, there is very low risk of environmental 

hazards such as spray drift and over-dosing. 

Public attention is not drawn to the spraying operation, as 

sweeping is usually taking place at the same time. 

Bayer Environmental Science herbicide CDA Vanquish Biactive 

used in the CDA Pavement Sprayer is non-irritant and, 

environmentally, the safest available under C.O.S.S.H regulations. 

Sisis 

The Sisis range of maintenance equipment for 

natural and artificial surfaces. From aeration to 

scarification, brushing to sweeper collection, this 

range covers it all.

specific tree survey and inspection 

training at a basic level for contractors, highway 

engineers, tree wardens, grounds maintenance staff, 

rangers and other persons of a non-arboricultural 

background or with limited arboricultural knowledge, to
