On top of their game
We set very high standards for our<br />
pitches as some of the best players<br />
in the world come to train at the complex.<br />
Microlite Activ8 and Premier HG fertilizers<br />
are used as we get excellent<br />
spreading consistency, evenness of<br />
growth and good colour. With so much<br />
play on our pitches, fast recovery is vital<br />
and this is achieved with R14 and R314<br />
seed mixes, and at our stadium R140<br />
and R14 CR. Linemarking is carried out<br />
using the Impact System. It’s fast and the<br />
lines last longer.<br />

Meeting the challenge is our goal<br />
Rigby Taylor Ltd is one of the UK’s leading industry suppliers and a major investor<br />
in product innovation, development and industry support initiatives.<br />
The company objectives are quite clear, to identify, source, develop and supply<br />
products that have a significant value in assisting the installation, preparation,<br />
health and maintenance of the country’s sports, recreational and amenity<br />
surfaces.<br />
This latest edition of our Professional Products brochure showcases the most<br />
comprehensive range of products currently available and describes their<br />
qualities, features and benefits. It also demonstrates the company’s<br />
commitment to provide quality products and a high level of technical support.<br />
Innovation<br />
As part of the Origin Enterprise<br />
Group, Rigby Taylor has made<br />
massive strides in the introduction of<br />
new and exciting innovations to the<br />
industry.<br />
The company’s Impact line marking<br />
paint was presented with the<br />
Queens Award for innovation in 2011<br />
and in 2016 received the Queens<br />
Award for Enterprise<br />
& International<br />
Trade. In 2015,<br />
working closely with<br />
Awarded to Linemark UK<br />
its seed breeding<br />
partner Top Green, a range of grass<br />
seed mixtures containing Tetraploid<br />
Technology was developed and, at<br />
the same time a unique liquid grass<br />
seed treatment, Germin-8, was<br />
introduced that improves<br />
germination and early plant<br />
establishment.<br />
Introducing innovations to the industry –<br />
the worlds first automatic, GPS line<br />
marking robot<br />
Turf nutrition is also a major focus for<br />
the company and has led to the<br />
development of a super, microgranulation<br />
technique with the<br />
added benefit of size consistency<br />
leading to a more uniform surface<br />
application and plant uptake.<br />
Technology advances have also<br />
been made in the application of<br />
line marking paint application and<br />
Rigby Taylor introduced the first<br />
automatic, GPS controlled line<br />
marking robot which has<br />
undergone successful commercial<br />
UK trials.<br />
Partnership<br />
Over the years, strong links have<br />
been forged with multi national<br />
companies, national sporting<br />
associations including the FA, RFU,<br />
ECB and industry organisations who<br />
represent professional groundsmen,<br />
greenkeeprs and landscapers<br />
throughout the country.<br />
0800 424919 2
FA Groundsmen of<br />
the Year meeting<br />
at St George's Park<br />
It is from this background, that the<br />
company was selected as the<br />
Official Supplier of consumable<br />
products to the FA Pitch<br />
Improvement Programme. The<br />
programme is designed to increase<br />
the quality of grass roots football<br />
pitches to a level of standard that<br />
will assist in improving the playing<br />
skills of the next generation of<br />
players.<br />
Support<br />
The purchase of a Rigby Taylor<br />
product is just the beginning of<br />
what we hope to be a long term<br />
relationship. Our 50-strong field<br />
based team of regional managers<br />
will offer product pre-selection and<br />
application advice on the wide<br />
range of products and provide<br />
ongoing end-user support. This team<br />
is ably supported by Product<br />
Management specialists with<br />
extensive knowledge on grass<br />
seeds, turf nutrition, chemicals and<br />
their application, wetting agent<br />
and plant health technologies and<br />
line marking .<br />
Regional team members, where<br />
BASIS trained are qualified to give<br />
advice and recommendations on<br />
the use of pesticide products and<br />
their application and also allows for<br />
advice to be given on spray and<br />
spreader calibration, chemical<br />
storage and disposal of used waste<br />
containers.<br />
Communication<br />
Talking and listening to customers is<br />
vital. An ongoing Product<br />
Improvement Plan regularly updates<br />
information of how products are<br />
performing and what is required, if<br />
necessary, to introduce<br />
improvements. Such information is<br />
Rigby Taylor’s new interactive<br />
stand at SALTEX was not only<br />
a big hit with visitors but also<br />
the organizers receiving Best<br />
Stand of the Show award.<br />
fed back by our field teams but<br />
information is also gained through<br />
organized regional seminars and<br />
Workshops. In 2016, a series or<br />
Seminars included talks on the<br />
Sustainable Use Directive to ensure<br />
customers understood how this<br />
affected them and the job they are<br />
doing.<br />
Communication is also undertaken<br />
through published literature, videos,<br />
website, tweets and attendance at<br />
key exhibitions such as SALTEX, BTME<br />
and FutureScape.<br />

Within a week of application, the<br />
polymer coating allows soil moisture<br />
in, which activates encapsulated<br />
nutients but doesn’t release them.<br />
Over the next several months, the<br />
membrane slowly releases dissolved<br />
nutrients through diffusion, only when<br />
triggered by soil temperature.<br />
After complete release of nutrients,<br />
the polymer coating microbially<br />
decomposes into naturally<br />

PCSCU<br />
The new generation PCSCU, with 3 different<br />

❱PREMIER HG RANGE<br />
Slow release – Methylene Urea mini-granular fertilizers<br />
WHY PREMIER HG FE<strong>RT</strong>ILIZERS<br />
❱ Multi-phased nutrient release pattern to provide consistent<br />
availability<br />
❱ Contains long lasting Nitrogen and Potassium for optimum<br />
nutrition availability<br />
❱ Comprehensive trace element package<br />
❱ Homogenous mini-granules for even distribution<br />
❱ Major nutrients released for up to 6 months<br />
❱ Flexible application rate<br />
Recommended areas<br />
Controlled Release Nitrogen Premier-HG fertilizers not only contain<br />
conventional release Nitrogen to give an initial response, but also<br />
slow release Nitrogen in the form of patented Methylene Urea.<br />
This Methylene Urea (MU) promotes strong root growth and a<br />
balanced, healthier sward development. It also encourages<br />
microbial activity in the soil improving the natural fertility,<br />
increasing and sustaining the population of beneficial organisms<br />
because it is a source of organic Carbon and Nitrogen. The MU<br />
also has a low salt index, meaning a very low scorch potential.<br />
Slow Release Potassium As well as containing Potassium that<br />
provides a rapid availability, some is also complexed with Carbon<br />
to provide a slow release form, as well as having a bio-stimulation<br />
effect due to the organic component.<br />

In Premier-HG there is a free Urea fraction but in addition three fractions of<br />
Methylene Urea with differing chain lengths:<br />
Urea fraction - very soluble and available to the turf in a matter of days.<br />
Fraction 1 – CWSN (cold water soluble Nitrogen) containing un-reacted<br />
Urea and short chain Methylene Urea polymers, with the Nitrogen being<br />
available over a period of weeks.<br />
Fraction 2 – HWSN (hot water soluble Nitrogen) consisting of medium chain<br />
length polymers released more slowly over 2-3 months.<br />
Fraction 3 – HWIN (hot water insoluble Nitrogen) containing longer chain<br />
polymers where the Nitrogen is released over 4-6 months or even longer<br />
depending on temperature and microbial activity.<br />
Conventional release Nitrogen for initial response<br />
Conventional release Nitrogen for mid-term response<br />

Microfine Proven Technology<br />
Sustained performance is achieved from an initial nutrient release<br />
response followed by a consistent balanced release for up to 12 weeks.<br />
Methylene Urea release is triggered by temperature and microbial<br />
activity, thereby matching the demands of the plant at the time<br />
and growth stage required. It promotes strong root growth,<br />
and a balanced, healthier sward with a very low salt index<br />
that reduces the potential for scorch.<br />
Sulphur is an important nutrient for plant health, but<br />
constant applications of high S formulations can lower<br />
soil ph below the required levels. High S formulations<br />
can also exacerbate Black Layer formation (in<br />
conjunction with anaerobic conditions), producing<br />
Hydrogen Sulphide gas, which smells of rotten eggs,<br />
and is toxic to plant roots.<br />

High performing super micro-granule<br />
for quality turf nutrition<br />
As fully compounded granules, each contains all<br />
the nutrients and elements of the analysis. Its high<br />
uniformity index provides excellent flowability,<br />
exceptional accuracy and a wide range of<br />
application rates. The granule is extremely robust<br />
but breaks down very rapidly following application.<br />
A complete trace element package with fully<br />
chelated micro-nutrients provides maximum plant<br />
uptake in both ERD and XL. A soil penetrant is also<br />
included to ensure all essential ingredients are<br />
transported to the rootzone for maximum uptake.<br />
Activate technology<br />
Activate ERD contains humic acid that improves root depth<br />
by more than 30%, root mass by 20% and enhanced<br />
nutrient retention. ERD will also increase plant health, seed<br />
germination and establishment.<br />
Activate XL contains simple sugars that increase microbial<br />
activity and summer stress tolerance. The carbohydrates<br />
content provides an immediate energy source to give a<br />
healthier, stronger sward. A cellulytic enzyme aids the<br />
reduction of thatch.<br />
The plant growth hormones contained in Activate XL are<br />
cold water extracted and, together with the betaines, give<br />
the plant added vigour as well as extra root growth.<br />

Zeolite<br />
Clinoptilolite (Zeolite) is a<br />

incorporated in the Microlite<br />
range. It has a natural<br />
affinity to Nitrogen and<br />
Potassium and these<br />
nutrients are absorbed into<br />
the Clinoptilolite grid and then released as and<br />
when demanded by the plant. Clinoptilolite will<br />
also hold up to 55% of it’s weight in moisture,<br />
which is released as the plant demands.<br />

All high organic content fertilizers also provide<br />
required trace elements, micronutrients, and primary<br />
biostimulant sources, i.e. humic substances, Amino<br />
Acids and enzymes.<br />
All organic fertilizers should be irrigated in well, and<br />
the surface should be mown without boxes for a few<br />
days if possible as organic granules take longer to<br />
disperse than mineral granules.<br />
Polyhalite<br />
The Apex Organic range contains Polyhalite, a<br />
naturally occurring source of Potassium, Magnesium<br />
and Calcium. The Potassium is released more slowly<br />
than some other sources, giving greater longevity.<br />
Magnesium aids the chlorophyll production and<br />
therefore improves the photosynthesis of the plant.<br />
Calcium helps to strengthen cell walls, making the<br />
plant less susceptible to disease.<br />
Lignite<br />
Lignite is used to improve the Cation Exchange<br />
Capacity (CEC), therefore reducing the leaching of<br />
nutrients and improving the efficacy of the fertilizer.<br />
Lignite, in conjunction with Potassium, will also provide<br />
a good source of Humic Acid to encourage root<br />
development and stimulate microbial soil activity.<br />

A new generation of polymer-coated, Sulphur-coated urea fertilizer with<br />
a polymer layer inside the protective surface layer. This has many benefits<br />
as compared to lesser PCSCU’s which have a polymer or conditioner on<br />
the outside of the Sulphur.<br />
Wax coating<br />
The outer Sulphur and wax<br />
Sulphur layers work together to protect<br />
the inner polymer coating<br />
Polymer during the various stages of<br />
Urea processing. Once the outer<br />
Sulphur and wax layers absorb<br />
moisture, the inside polymer<br />
layer delivers a consistent<br />
nutrient release at a time required by the plant. Other PCSCUs often<br />
suffer from nutrient "lock-off" in which the Sulphur coating is too thick to<br />
allow Nitrogen to release in the expected time frame.<br />

When Delta Sport and Delta<br />
Sport Mini fertilizers are<br />
produced, composted<br />
chicken litter is formulated<br />
with N, P and K from mineral<br />
sources. This enables a<br />
homogeneous granule to<br />
be produced, with each<br />
fertilizer granule containing<br />
a significant organic<br />
content as well as ensuring an even distribution of<br />
nutrition. The organic source of nutrients derived from<br />
chicken litter will encourage microbial activity within<br />
the rootzone due to the Carbon content. The<br />
organic content means this range is ideal to apply<br />
after seeding.<br />
The organic base also provides small amounts of<br />
micro-nutrients including Boron, Copper, Magnesium,<br />
Manganese, Iron and Zinc, all of which are essential<br />
for healthy plant growth, especially root<br />
development.<br />

❱SOIL ANALYSIS<br />
A service that provides an<br />
awareness and understanding of<br />
the nutritional status of sports and<br />
amenity turf.<br />
All plants need essential nutrients to live and grow<br />
healthily. Just as the human body needs vitamins<br />
and minerals, plants need macronutrients and<br />
micronutrients. Soil fertility is one of several factors,<br />
including light, moisture, weeds, insects and<br />
diseases that can affect turf quality and<br />
sustainability but reliable nutrient recommendations<br />
are dependent upon accurate soil tests.<br />
Results from soil sample analysis will allow turf<br />
professionals to base their nutritional programmes<br />
on a clear understanding of what is required to<br />
improve plant vigour, resulting in increased turf<br />
quality, health and enhanced playability.<br />
Analytical evaluation of soil samples offers an<br />
indicative approach to problem solving.<br />
The Kit<br />
Containing all the components required for taking<br />
and having analysed six individual soil samples.<br />
A pre-paid despatch box is provided that will hold<br />
6 x soil samples, which are sent to a leading,<br />
independent research laboratory, skilled in the<br />
analyses of turf soils and their nutritional<br />
requirements.<br />
Special analysis:<br />
All the above ‘Standard’, plus organic matter,<br />
plant available B, Cu, Mn, S, Zn.<br />
The soil analysis results will be assessed against<br />
those levels that are required for healthy,<br />
sustainable turf to identify deficiencies, excessive<br />
quantities or confirm optimum amounts.<br />
A range of other tests can be carried out including<br />
Organic matter content, trace elements levels,<br />
irrigation water suitability, determination of water<br />
pH. Ask your area <strong>RT</strong> representative for details.<br />
The Recommendation<br />
Following the results of the soil analysis, a nutrient<br />
turf programme will be compiled that will address<br />
those areas that have been highlighted and are<br />
specifically tailored to the turf/soil individual needs.<br />
All products recommended for use in the<br />
programme have been thoroughly trialled, tested<br />
and proven under UK climatic and cultural<br />
conditions and across the full range of sports turf<br />
surfaces.<br />
The Analysis<br />
A range of test options are available depending on<br />

The best form of defence is attack!<br />
Red Thread<br />
Fusarium<br />
Defender is a strobilurin based fungicide that displays<br />
both protective and some curative activity against<br />
Fusarium Patch and Red Thread. It has a mesostemic mode<br />
of action, offering multiple benefits in terms of its distribution<br />
around the plant:<br />
Protects new growth: Though not transported within the<br />
xylem of the plant it still has local penetrant movement.<br />
Long lasting control: It is strongly attracted to lipids and so<br />
binds more easily to the cuticle and waxy layer of the plant<br />
leaf, so providing good rainfast properties.<br />
Excellent coverage: Can move by both vapour activity and<br />
surface moisture, so is re-distributed around the application<br />
point and also away from it.<br />
Translaminar properties: Can move across the leaf blade<br />
giving disease control on the opposite side of the leaf from<br />
where it has been applied.<br />

How Fusion works<br />
Fusion is a dual action<br />
fungicide containing both<br />
trifloxystrobin and tebuconazole,<br />
offering both protective and some<br />
eradicant activity.<br />
This product has very good rainfast<br />
properties, provides long-lasting<br />
control and can be used all year<br />
round, even at very low temperatures<br />
providing the weather conditions are<br />
appropriate.<br />
Fusion can be used when grass is<br />
either dormant or actively growing,<br />
ideally applied prior to or<br />
immediately disease symptoms first<br />
appear. If grass is being mown, Fusion<br />
should be applied after cutting and<br />
further mowing should not take place<br />
until at least 48 hours after treatment.<br />
Alternate with a fungicide having a<br />
different mode of action.<br />

How Eland works<br />
The systemic properties of this exciting<br />
molecule allow Eland to move through the leaf<br />
and control disease both on its upper<br />
and on its lower surface. This unique<br />
activity protects both sides of the<br />
leaf within minutes of application.<br />
The spray deposit serves as a constant<br />
fungicide reservoir, releasing active<br />
ingredient to provide long-term<br />
protection….even when mowed off. Eland is<br />
especially suited to being applied as a preventative<br />
treatment, especially at times when turf disease<br />
pressure is high. It can also restrain mycelial growth<br />
and thereby provide additional curative activity.<br />
Improved sward appearance Treatments of Eland<br />
stimulate an increase in the plants capacity to<br />
convert nitrite to nitrate which improves the plants<br />
use of Nitrogen, resulting in the turf exhibiting an<br />
enhanced green colour. A further effect is a<br />
decrease in the release of ethylene, which leads to<br />
higher stress tolerance for the plant and is a major<br />
benefit during periods of drought.<br />

How 693 SDHI works<br />
The SDHI in 693 DSHI is fluopyram, which is commonly<br />
referred to as an Acropetal Penetrant. Acropetal can<br />
penetrate plants through the roots, shoots and leaves. They<br />
form a protective barrier on the plant, permeate into the plant<br />
and move upwards (acropeteal) in the plant’s xylem. These<br />
fungicides have preventative and curative activity.<br />
Combined with the Stressgard Formulation Technology, a<br />
unique combination of active ingredients, inert ingredients and<br />
turf specific co-formulants all combine to assist the product<br />
performance under unique, turf disease stress conditions. The<br />
result is an upgrade in performance of the product, providing<br />
superior disease management, leading to visibly healthier turf.<br />

How Rayzor works<br />
Red Thread<br />
Contact fungicides such as Rayzor can be applied<br />
throughout the year, though best results are achieved in the<br />
autumn-spring period when growth is at its slowest. Mowing<br />
after application however, will tend to remove the active<br />
ingredient and new growth will not be protected.<br />
Rayzor specifically controls Fusarium Patch (Microdochium<br />
nivale) and Red Thread (Laetisaria fuciformis). It can be<br />
applied only to golf greens, golf tees, and for patch<br />
treatment of up to 5% of fairways.<br />

How Greenor works<br />
Unique technology –<br />
unique weedkilling ability<br />
Greenor is the result of more than five years research into<br />
micro-emulsion technology which increases herbicide<br />
activity, resulting in a more thorough kill with lower<br />
amounts of active ingredient.<br />
Greenor does not scorch the weed leaves, so there is no<br />
burnt appearance. Because it achieves effective<br />
translocation into the roots, a more thorough kill of the<br />
root occurs, so achieving a greater level of weed control.<br />
Greenor is a micro-emulsion formulation that has very low<br />
odour compared to other products.<br />

How Junction works<br />
JUNCTION* TURF HERBICIDE uses<br />
the power of florasulam to reduce the<br />
overall amount of active ingredient<br />
applied as required by the Sustainable<br />
Use Directive (SUD). This not only<br />
minimises the active loading on the<br />
environment, but also reduces the<br />
amount of product needed to be<br />
carried to a job. The florasulam is<br />
combined with a low rate of 2,4-D,<br />
which broadens the weed<br />
spectrum of Junction.<br />
Junction has been cleverly<br />
formulated as a suspo-emulsion in<br />
water, allowing it to be applied in 100<br />
litres water per hectare. This markedly<br />
reduces the time needed to complete<br />
a spray operation. Junction can be<br />
applied after only 2 months to spring<br />
or summer sown turf. In addition,<br />
reseeding can be carried out just 4<br />
weeks after application.<br />

fluroxpyr and triclopyr.<br />
Fluroxypyr belongs to the pyridine carbolic acid chemical group<br />

through the target weed. Triclopyr is a systemic, foliar herbicide<br />
in the pyridine group. It is used to control broadleaf weeds while<br />
leaving grasses unaffected.<br />
Apply using a medium quality spray when weeds are actively<br />
growing, preferably before they begin to flower. Pivotal provides<br />
‘best in class’ control of difficult to control species as well as a<br />

How Chikara ® works<br />
Chikara is a systemic preemergent<br />
herbicide for the<br />
control of annual and perennial<br />
weeds on natural surfaces,<br />
including shrub beds, around<br />
established vegetation and<br />
permeable surfaces overlying<br />
soil, including gravel paths and<br />
parking areas.<br />
Chikara has a broad spectrum<br />
of herbicidal activity with<br />
control lasting up to 5 months<br />
against broad-leaved and<br />
grass weeds. Where weeds are<br />
established/emerged at the<br />
time of application always tank<br />
mix Chikara with an<br />
appropriate dose of an<br />
approved glyphosate<br />
formulation.<br />
Many affected weed seedlings<br />
will not emerge above soil level.<br />
Those that do will exhibit<br />
yellowing or reddening of the<br />
leaves and become necrotic<br />
and die shortly thereafter.<br />
Controls<br />
problem<br />
weeds for<br />
up to 5<br />
months<br />
Chikara may be used on any porous surface,<br />
where total weed control is required.<br />
Areas of use include Fence lines ✱ Strips of land adjacent to<br />
timber yards ✱ Around buildings ✱ Industrial sites ✱ Oil and gas<br />
storage sites ✱ Power stations ✱ Electric sub-station ✱ Beneath<br />
pylons ✱ Park obstacles and furniture.<br />
Due to the potential for run-off into surface waters Chikara must<br />
not be used on non-porous man-made surfaces, e.g. paved<br />
areas, concrete, tarmac car parks and footpaths. Chikara must<br />
not be used in or around amenity vegetation.<br />
0800 424919 54
Cost effective weed control – the real savings<br />
Chikara offers local authorities and contractors a positive way of reducing costs,<br />
whilst still maintaining effective weed control.<br />
Comparing the costs of season long control of weeds with Chikara, compared to<br />
multiple visits for strimming and/or repeat spray applications of glyphosate, there<br />
are potentially major savings to be made.<br />
Application/Operation<br />
Cost (average purchase/labour cost)<br />
1 x Chikara + glyphosate* spray treatment 4 pence/sq. metre<br />
3 x glyphosate only treatments 7 pence/sq. metre<br />
12 x strimming operations 84 pence/sq. metre<br />
Compared to strimming a massive saving of 0.80p/sq.metre or<br />
£8,000/hectare is achieved!<br />
* Required where there is existing vegetation<br />
Sustainable Use Directive<br />
Chikara applications:<br />
✳ Sustainable and integrated use of pesticides<br />
✳ Promotion of low input regimes<br />
✳ Reducing risks and impact on human health and the<br />
environment<br />
✳ Provisions to protect water<br />
Risk reduction<br />
✳ Cost effective and low risk<br />
alternative to repeat strimming<br />
or multiple glyphosate spraying<br />
✳ No HAV’s* to record<br />
✳ Low level active ingredient<br />
loading<br />
✳ HSE requires employers to<br />
reduce risk wherever possible<br />
✳ Full product support<br />
✳ Onsite training if required<br />
Avoid spray drift and treatment of<br />
shallow rooted specimens. Do not spray close<br />
to non-target vegetation, i.e valued trees,<br />
shrubs, shallow rooted plants and flower beds.<br />
Chikara is a LERAP B pesticide – do not allow<br />
spray from a knapsack to fall within 1 metre of<br />
the top of a bank of any static or flowing<br />
water body. Aim away from the water.<br />
Operational Benefits<br />
One application of Chikara can save<br />
repeated strimming visits to clear around<br />
obstacles, fence lines, headstones and<br />
similar situations. This represents good<br />
value for money and reduces operator<br />
exposure to hand/arm vibration (HAV) risk.<br />

How to use Maintain<br />
Maintain is a management tool designed to allow a<br />
more flexible use of available labour and better deployment<br />
of limited resources, the reduction of fuel costs and machinery<br />
wear and, most importantly, produces superb turf.<br />
The action of Maintain redirects grass growth by specifically<br />
targeting the gibberellic acid site responsible for cell<br />
elongation.<br />
Such action not only inhibits vertical growth but diverts it<br />
downwards into the root system where it helps to produce<br />
and increase food reserves and lateral stem development.<br />
The result is the production of a thicker, healthier sward that<br />
allows turf to better withstand stress caused by temperature<br />
extremes, moisture loss, traffic and wear. An added benefit is<br />
that helps in the management of Poa annua.<br />

Gallup Biograde Amenity can be<br />

and emergent weeds including<br />
Reeds, Rushes, Sedges, Grasses and<br />
Watercress, and against the floating<br />
weeds White Water-lily and Yellow<br />
Water-lily. As with any aquatic<br />
herbicide, prior approval should be<br />
sought from appropriate authorities.<br />
How Gallup Biograde Amenity works<br />
The active ingredient glyphosate acts by blocking the<br />
plant's enzymatic system. The BEAT formulation ensures the<br />
herbicide is readily absorbed through the leaf cuticle and is able<br />
to circulate throughout the plant and<br />
right down to the roots. As a result not<br />
just the foliage but the whole of the plant<br />
is killed.<br />
Gallup Biograde Amenity is adsorbed<br />
easily onto the soil particles so does not leach and is also broken<br />
down by the soil bacteria into harmless natural substances.<br />

How Discman CDA Biograde works<br />
Discman CDA Biograde is a breakthrough in formulation<br />
chemistry, being the first non-irritant high concentration<br />
glyphosate in Europe that has a full surfactant loading, BEAT,<br />
without using tallow amines. The formulation speeds up the<br />
penetration process and improves rainfastness by better<br />
adhesion on to the leaf surface.<br />
Consequently more glyphosate is able to<br />
penetrate into the plant tissue and<br />
translocate down to the roots resulting in a<br />
more rapid and effective kill of the weed.<br />
The high concentration of glyphosate (216g/l), linked to a low<br />
application rate, making it extremely effective and very cost<br />
efficient.<br />
Discman CDA Biograde can be used through the Eliminator<br />
Lance by simply connecting the herbicide bottle directly onto<br />
the lance. A peristaltic pump is built into the sprayer providing<br />
a consistent application rate with an optimum droplet size.<br />
The sprayer is self-calibrating so overdosing is eliminated.<br />
How to use Discman CDA Biograde<br />
Discman CDA Biograde must be applied with CDA<br />
equipment with an approved droplet spectrum (VMD min 200<br />
microns). Choose a disc with a spray pattern appropriate to<br />
the task in hand.<br />
Discman CDA Biograde may be used on land immediately<br />
adjacent to aquatic areas.<br />

How Eagle Green Care works<br />
Damage to sports and amenity turf by plant parasitic<br />
nematodes is a major problem. The symptoms are severe<br />
chlorosis, leading to turf loss.<br />
Reducing nematode populations can quickly promote an<br />
increase in turf quality and performance. Currently Eagle Green<br />
Care is the only nematicide in the UK that is approved for use on<br />
sportsfields and amenity turf areas.<br />
Eagle Green Care contains polysulphides which react with<br />
enzymes in animal cells and have a potent effect against insect<br />
eggs and plant parasitic nematodes. It kills all types of<br />
nematodes on contact.<br />
The liquid formulation is applied as a drench to penetrate the turf<br />
surface where nematode-induced damage is apparent, or<br />
nematode population in soil exceeds the desired thresholds.<br />
The granular formulation, when applied during seeding or on<br />
established turf, must be irrigated-in to activate it’s ingredients.<br />
This ensures longer term activity. Alternatively, the granules can<br />
be mixed with the root zone during construction.<br />
If in doubt seek expert advice from your local Rigby Taylor<br />

❱MASCOT SYSTEMIC<br />
Worm cast suppression<br />
in amenity turf<br />
WHY MASCOT SYSTEMIC<br />
❱ Beneficial non-casting worms are<br />
largely unaffected<br />
❱ Rain or irrigation following application<br />
will not reduce effectiveness<br />
❱ Safe to a wide range of turfgrass<br />
species<br />
How Mascot Systemic works<br />
Its action is primarily via ingestion; there is some<br />
growth retardation and an effect on egg production. The<br />
major impact is to cause reduced feeding, with plant litter<br />
and ‘thatch’ becoming repellent to the earthworms,<br />
resulting in the avoidance of feeding on treated areas.<br />
In this way the beneficial worm species which do not<br />
surface feed will largely be unaffected.<br />
Aerate compacted soils prior to treatment to aid<br />
penetration. Enhanced suppression is obtained if grass is<br />
cut prior to application. For best suppression repeat<br />
treatment 1 month after initial application.<br />

How Sward works<br />
Adjuvants are materials that can be tank-mixed with<br />
pesticides to enhance their performance, though they<br />
themselves do not have any pesticidal activity.<br />
Sward is formulated for use as a tank-mix with approved<br />
carbendazim-containing products, such as Mascot Systemic,<br />
and is a fully CRD approved adjuvant. The effectiveness of<br />
carbendazim in suppressing worms is very much linked to its<br />
availability to worms. Sward enables the carbendazim to<br />
penetrate through the thatch layer and move further down<br />
into the soil profile.<br />

spray equipment.<br />
Trailblazer Trio contains two chemical water<br />
conditioners. The first is an acid that dissolves the<br />
carbonates in the spray solution and reduces their<br />
ability to react with pesticides. Trailblazer Trio also<br />
contains water softeners – these are widely used in the<br />
water treatment industry to neutralise cations so they<br />

1. An acid that dissolves the carbonates in the spray solution and<br />

By conditioning water prior to addition of pesticide or nutrients<br />
antagonism from impurities in the water are removed and the<br />
products are applied in a pH of approximately 5.0 which optimizes<br />

❱ Stable and highly visible foam<br />
❱ Quickly dissipates following spray<br />

❱ Safe to grass sward<br />
❱ Compatible with all types of equipment<br />
How Lineout works<br />
Lineout is an effective and<br />
economical answer to the problem of<br />
spray overlapping and missed areas.<br />
Lineout produces a distinctive<br />
temporary covering of small foam<br />
blobs that enables sprayed areas to<br />
be marked out accurately but which<br />
quickly dissipate. The highly visible<br />
and stable foam produced is<br />
effective at marking treated areas, so<br />
reducing the risk of overlapping. Optical brighteners have also<br />
been added to Lineout to increase the visibility of markers in<br />
twilight periods.<br />
Spraying aid withfast action<br />
against products that foam when<br />
filling spray tank, especially<br />
effective with wetting agents<br />
WHY FOAMCHECK<br />
❱ Rapid de-foaming action<br />
❱ Especially effective when using wetting<br />
agents<br />
❱ Reduces spray tank filling time<br />
How Foamcheck works<br />
Excessive foam production can be a problem when<br />
preparing amenity sprays, particularly when using highly<br />
concentrated solutions or those that contain surfactants<br />
e.g. wetting agents. Whilst the foam itself is generally harmless, it<br />
may give problems in preventing spray tanks from being filled<br />
properly or the equipment being accurately calibrated.<br />
When Foamcheck is added to the spray tank, forces of<br />
attraction within the foam are broken and the surface tension<br />
of the solution is significantly reduced, resulting in rapid foam<br />
knockdown whilst also preventing the build-up of further foam.<br />

❱ Each Ecoplug Max contains 300mg of<br />
formulated glyphosate herbicide<br />
How EcoPlug Max works<br />
Ecoplug Max provides a simple and effective way to kill the<br />
root system of tree stumps with no effect on surrounding trees. The<br />
plug contains a herbicide, which is enclosed within a plug. When<br />
inserted into the tree stump, the herbicide is released which results<br />
in the kill of the entire root system. Because the herbicide is<br />
contained within the tree stump, it has no effect on surrounding<br />
trees or vegetation and, will not affect humans, animals or the<br />
wider environment.<br />
Ecoplug Max has a high efficacy rating of 95-100% and its<br />
selective method of herbicide release will reduce the use of<br />
chemicals by 90%, compared to traditional methods.<br />

WHY ICE CLEAN<br />
❱ A fast and clean alternative to the<br />
traditional use of rock salt and road grit<br />
❱ Effective down to -30°C for up to 48<br />
hours<br />
❱ Generates heat on contact with ice by<br />
way of an exothermic reaction<br />
❱ Will not stain shoes or carpets – just<br />
vacuum away any excess<br />
How Ice Clean<br />
works<br />
Because Ice Clean is 99% pure<br />
Calcium Chloride it is the best<br />
available de-icer and snow melt<br />
material available and is 30<br />
times more efficient, and faster,<br />
than rock salt.<br />
Ice Clean is suitable for all<br />
applications on hards surfaces<br />
where snow and ice form, but<br />
unlike salt it will not stain or<br />
leave dirty marks on shoes and<br />
carpets. Any residue should<br />
simply be vacuumed away.<br />

❱BLOCKADE-LX<br />
A specially formulated product for<br />
the treatment of Black Layer in<br />
sports and amenity turf<br />
WHY BLOCKADE-LX<br />
❱ Improved activated Carbon adsorbs<br />
harmful gases<br />
❱ Contains a rooting bio-stimulant<br />
❱ Enzymatic system degrades the<br />
anaerobic materials in the Black Layer<br />
❱ Highly active due to the soil penetrant<br />
which moves the activated Carbon into<br />
the Black Layer<br />
❱ Can be used to treat spillages of oil and<br />

How Blockade-LX works<br />
Blockade-LX liquid treatment has a four-way mode of<br />
action:<br />
✱ An enzymatic system directly degrades the protective film<br />
covering anaerobic bacteria in the black layer, restricting<br />
their production of toxic gas and relieving turf stress.<br />
✱ Contains activated Carbon which is highly effective in<br />
adsorbing Hydrogen Sulphide and Methane in the soil.<br />
The bad smell is lessened and toxicity reduced, so roots<br />
can continue growing.<br />
✱ Rooting bio-stimulants allow the plant to re-colonise.<br />
✱ Contains a soil penetrant to move the Carbon into the<br />
black layer which is usually sub-surface.<br />
Contains: Activated carbon, rooting<br />
bio-stimulants, soil penetrant and<br />

How Blockade 2000 works<br />
The efficacy of Blockade 2000 is due to its unique<br />
formulation and the manufacturing method which produces a<br />
fully built, homogenous end product. Profile, a ceramic soil<br />
amendment is present as a carrier, with each particle having 74%<br />
pore space with a high level of air space. This in its own right will<br />
help to restore aerobic conditions in the Black Layer.<br />
The Profile carries the soil penetrant, plant hormones and<br />
enzymatic system designed to degrade the Black Layer.<br />
Activated carbon is then mixed into the formulation. The large<br />
surface area enables the activated Carbon to adsorb and<br />
render inactive the Hydrogen Sulphide gas in the Black Layer<br />
quickly and effectively. Methane gas is also adsorbed.<br />
Blockade 2000 may be applied at any time of the year as a<br />
preventative or curative treatment, and to improve seed<br />
establishment when over-seeding.<br />

The overall effects of the ERD<br />
complex on the plant biochemical<br />
activities are an increase in root mass<br />
and vigour, enabling the plant to<br />
improve nutrient uptake and have a<br />
greater tolerance to stress<br />
0800 424919 74
Humic Acid Improves rooting depth and rejuvenate soil structure<br />
These are a group of compounds created by the degradation of organic matter and are a portion of natures biological processes.<br />
Those in Activate R are sourced from Leonardite (Potassium Humate), one of the most active sources of available Humic Acid.<br />
Humic Acid increases nutrient retention in all soils but is especially important on USGA or high sand sports turf constructions where<br />
nutrient exchange sites are low. Due to the Potassium source and its very high CEC, Activate R helps to fix Potassium in the soil, making<br />
it available for plant uptake especially during the winter.<br />
Combined with the soil penetrant, Humic Acid restructures the soil by altering/rearranging the soil platelets making the soil more friable,<br />
increasing air spaces and increasing water penetration. Humic Acid has a high Carbon content which slowly decomposes into carbon<br />
molecules providing a slow release microbial food source.<br />
Growth Promoting Hormones Improves root and shoot development<br />
The cold water enzymatic, extracted plant growth hormones and<br />
betaines help the plant with increased rooting and vigour. These<br />
growth promoting hormones, combined with the simple plant sugars,<br />
improve seed germination and establishment. The unique low<br />
temperature granulation process ensures none of these vital<br />
ingredients are destroyed during the manufacturing process.<br />
Micro-Nutrients Improve colour and health<br />
Activate R contains a micro-nutrient (trace element) package<br />
including Magnesium, Copper, Boron, Manganese, Molybdenum<br />
and Zinc. All the micro-nutrients contained are EDTA chelated for<br />
maximum plant uptake.<br />

Simple Plant Sugars increase microbial activity<br />
and summer stress tolerance<br />
The simple plant sugars in Activate-XL provide soil microbes with a readily<br />
available food source, rapidly increasing their population and activity.<br />
After an application of Activate-XL the plant roots exude carbohydrates.<br />
This provides an energy source for the mycorrhizal fungi and rhizosphere<br />
bacteria that live in a close, mutually beneficial relationship with the plant.<br />
In exchange for an energy supply the mycorrhizal fungi provide the plant<br />
with a supply of nitrate and phosphate. This symbiotic relationship is<br />
essential for a healthy sward. The plant sugars are rapidly absorbed and<br />
assim ilated by the plant cells providing an immediate energy source.<br />
Growth Promoting Hormones Improved root and<br />
shoot development<br />
The cold-water enzymatic extracted plant growth hormones and betaines<br />
in Activate-XL help increase rooting and vigour. These hormones, combined<br />
with the simple plant sugars, help to improve seed establishment.<br />
Trials through spring to late autumn over 2<br />
seasons have shown that in combination with<br />
aeration Activate-XL can improve thatch<br />
reduction by over 34% above aeration alone<br />

How Seaweed Compact works<br />
Seaweed Compact contains a dried seaweed extract of<br />
Ascophyllum nodosum and helps to boost root development,<br />
shoot growth, minimise turf stress, maintain leaf function, maximise<br />
drought tolerance as well as increasing soil microbial action. A 2kg<br />
pack of Seaweed Compact is equivalent to 12 litres (14.5kg) of a<br />
traditional liquid seaweed product at comparable strength, so<br />
provides additional benefits in terms of handling and transport<br />
issues.<br />
Root Development: Trials show that in young plants, root<br />
length and mass can be significantly increased (150%) by<br />
Seaweed Compact application.<br />
Shoot Growth: Seaweed Compact helps increase shoot<br />
development and tillering, leading to better ground cover.<br />
Chlorophyll: Trials have demonstrated that Seaweed<br />
Compact increases and maintains chlorophyll levels in the<br />
leaf tissue, enabling it to maximise carbohydrate production<br />
for optimum growth and repair.<br />
Drought Tolerance: Seaweed Compact has an osmoregulatory<br />
effect on turf, helping it to withstand drought or<br />
saline conditions.<br />
Microbial Activity: When in contact with the soil Seaweed<br />
Compact has a stimulating effect on certain beneficial soil<br />
microbes which multiply and increase their activity such as<br />
improving soil structure and releasing nutrients. The microbes<br />
also help break down thatch.<br />
Plant Health: Betaines found in Seaweed Compact have been<br />
shown to have a beneficial effect on plant health. They help<br />
to raise the plant’s natural health status, enabling turf to<br />
withstand various stress factors such as heat, cold, wind, wear,<br />
mechanical damage and disease.<br />

How Cal-Form works<br />
Calcium is a macronutrient and an important cell wall<br />
constit uent (as calcium pectate), helping to strengthen the<br />
walls. Calcium deficiency causes cell walls to weaken,<br />
making the plant more susceptible to fungal disease. It is<br />
also known to be involved in cell division, root and leaf<br />
development and Phosphorus availability.<br />
Deficiency shows as a reddish-brown discolouration along<br />
the leaf margin which develops into a lighter red colour.<br />
In addition to the Calcium itself, Cal-Form also contains<br />
Amino Acids that have chelating properties and improve<br />
the absorption of Calcium into the plant as well as its<br />

Calcium mainly occurs in leaves and stems but it is relatively<br />
immobile within the tissues. It is also present in the soil – levels<br />
are related to Magnesium, Potassium and Sodium. It is<br />
involved in soil pH, levels decreasing as the pH falls below<br />
neutral. In fine turf situations the aim is to generally reduce<br />
rootzone pH levels in order to encourage the finer grasses. In<br />
doing so Calcium often becomes deficient. It may also be<br />
deficient in alkaline soils since Calcium is present in an<br />
insoluble form.<br />
In addition to the Calcium itself, Cal-Form also contains Amino<br />
Acids that have chelating properties and improve the<br />

How K-Form works<br />
Potassium is the second most sought after plant<br />

If Potassium becomes deficient, changes in enzyme activity<br />
can also occur which are thought to lead to a higher<br />
susceptibility to fungal attack.<br />
In addition to Potassium, K-Form also contains higher levels<br />
of the Amino Acids involved in facilitating a very rapid foliar<br />
absor p tion of Potassium into the plant and assisting in its<br />
movement within it, even under adverse environmental/ -<br />
rootzone conditions.<br />
Applications of K-Form throughout the autumn months will<br />

Potassium tends to accumulate in leaf tips, so turfgrass<br />
subjected to intensive mowing particularly at a low<br />
height of cut need regular amounts of Potassium during<br />
the growing season. It is readily lost from the rootzone<br />
through leaching especially in USGA/sandy profiles,<br />
which inherently have low nutrient retention capabilities<br />
(low Cation Exchange Capacity – CEC).<br />

How Mag-Form works<br />
Magnesium is a macronutrient involved in important<br />
plant activities including Phosphorus translocation<br />
mechanisms, enzyme reactions and is a constituent of<br />
chlorophyll.<br />
Magnesium is important<br />
for the maintenance of<br />
the green colour and<br />
growth in the turf plant. It<br />
is quite mobile within the<br />
plant with re-distribution<br />
occurring more from the<br />
older to the younger<br />
tissues. Concentrations<br />
are usually higher in the<br />
leaves but it can also be<br />
found in the growing tips<br />
of roots and stems.<br />
Deficiencies of<br />
Magnesium are more<br />
prone in sandy soils<br />
which have an acid pH.<br />
Symptoms include a<br />
cherry red discolouration<br />
along leaf margins usually occurring in the older, lower<br />
leaves first before spreading. Root growth is also severely<br />
restricted.<br />
The Magnesium:Calcium ratios are important in relation to<br />
the availability of both elements, and the addition of Mag-<br />
Form can assist in maintaining a correct balance between<br />
the two elements.<br />

Phosphorus is a vital element in the metabolic<br />
processes within the plant. It is an important<br />
constituent in enzymes and proteins as well as being<br />
a structural component of phosphoproteins,<br />
phospholipids and nucleic acids. Plants suffering from<br />
Phosphorus deficiency use water less efficiently, are<br />
susceptible to growth suppression, less tolerant of cold<br />
temperatures and take longer to root.<br />
Phosphite (as a Phosphorus source) which is present in<br />
Phos-Form, has one less Oxygen molecule than<br />
traditional Phos phate itself and so has a higher<br />
degree of solubility and mobility. This unique<br />
characteristic permits phos phite to be readily<br />
absorbed by the leaves and root system. Once<br />
absorbed it undergoes oxidation, resulting in a<br />
release of Phosphorus. By using phosphite, turf devel -<br />
ops more root growth and more vigorous leaf growth<br />
and also provides benefits of stress resistance.<br />

How MicroDyne works<br />
A low NPK organic liquid fertilizer ensures the plant is<br />

Chelated Irons are complex molecules that protect the<br />
biologically active ferrous Iron, preventing it from reacting<br />
with other substances and becoming unavailable to the<br />
plant. The Iron Chelates only break down once inside the<br />
plant ensuring all the Iron can be utilised by the plant.<br />
Cold extracted seaweed ensures none of the essential<br />

How Integrate Plus works<br />
Integrate Plus is a totally unique, patented blend of<br />
anionic charged polymers combined with a surface-acting<br />
wetting agent.<br />
Mechanical aeration affects less than 10% of the soil surface,<br />
and compac tion can reduce the operating efficiency of turf<br />
anywhere from 25-50% as water does not drain, air<br />
movement stops and root growth is restricted.<br />
Integrate Plus will restore the<br />
soil’s water/air balance and<br />
return damaged soil<br />
structure to a properly<br />
functioning condition. It will<br />
assist in repairing collapsed<br />
pore spaces that prevent<br />
the draining of standing<br />
water, restore the flow of air<br />
into the rootzone, reduce<br />
the conditions that<br />
encourage Black Layer and<br />
‘open-up’ new channels for<br />
root development.<br />
Irrigation or even rain following treatment is beneficial.<br />
Improved results may be obtained by applying treatments<br />
immediately following mechanical aeration.<br />
Integrate Plus is not to be mixed with Calcium Nitrate based<br />
fertilizers or products incompatible with anionic adjuvants.<br />
The easy to apply, dust free, granular formulation gives long<br />
term effectiveness due to the gradual release of ingredients<br />
in the granule and is ideal to apply during poor weather<br />
conditions.<br />

Compaction...the problem<br />
Anaerobic layer forms...<br />
because waterlogged layer has<br />
forced air out...<br />
while compacted fines produce<br />
impenetrable layer...<br />
and so there is no gravitational<br />
water flow, soil structure<br />
collapses, roots struggle to<br />
survive<br />
Integrate...the solution<br />
Free movement of water and air<br />
is created...<br />
because Integrate ‘opens up’<br />
compacted layer repairing<br />
clogged and damaged pore<br />
spaces...<br />
and so gravitational water runs<br />
freely through root zone,<br />
drainage channels remove<br />
excess water, soil structure<br />
restored<br />
Integrate Plus Granules contain advanced<br />
polymeric, poly-electrolytes together with<br />
the most advanced soil penetrant system.<br />
The long chain poly-electrolyte system within<br />
the product is positively charged (anionic)<br />
and effectively attracts the negatively<br />
charged cations held within the CEC sites<br />
on clay and organic matter e.g. Calcium,<br />
Magnesium.<br />
De-structured clay particles are minute and<br />
are effectively aggregated together by this<br />
process into larger crumbs. The formation of<br />
such a crumb structure within the rootzone<br />
results in improved drainage and much<br />
more pore space for root growth.<br />

❱PROFILE GREENS<br />
A porous ceramic soil amendment<br />
for high performance root zones<br />
WHY PROFILE GREENS<br />
❱ Improves root zones by adding water, nutrient and<br />
air holding capacity to the soil structure<br />
❱ Excellent stability – still stable after 30 years<br />
❱ High, permanent Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC)<br />
❱ Consistent USGA particle size distribution –<br />
99% between 0.15-1.0 mm<br />
❱ Proven by university studies to hold water<br />
like peat but drains like sand<br />
The Profie Greens particle<br />
Each particle is 74% pore space with approximately<br />
39% capillary (water) pores and 35% non-capillary (air)<br />
pores. Profile Greens blended with sand or soil increases<br />
the water and nutrient holding pores as well as<br />
increasing the air and drainage pores.<br />
Profile's CEC will assist in the retention of nutrients, but<br />
unlike organic materials, such as peat, will not cause<br />
layering and will increase percolation rates.<br />

Profile Field & Fairway has a slightly larger particle size providing 78% porosity of<br />
which 41% is capillary pore space and 37% is non-capillary pore space.<br />
How Profile Greens works<br />
Profile Greens physically improves the soil structure. In<br />
sand it increases water retention and nutrient-holding<br />
because of the capillary pores and the Cation Exchange<br />
Capacity (CEC). Percolation rates are increased<br />
when it is mixed with sand because of the noncapillary<br />
pore space within the product. Soilbased<br />
greens benefit by the added porosity<br />
Profile Greens provides for better drainage.<br />
Profile Greens is very stable: Profile Greens is four<br />
times as stable as USGA requirements and has<br />
been shown not to break down. Stable particles<br />
have been found in Purdue University greens 30<br />
years after incorporation.<br />
Profile Greens has a high CEC: A permanent CEC of<br />
33 meq/100g is provided by Profile Greens. It has a<br />
strong affinity for Potassium, which can leach quite<br />
readily from sand-based rootzones. Profile Greens<br />
has a low affinity for Sodium and in high salt areas it<br />
can therefore help amend the root zone by<br />
increasing drainage, allowing the flushing of greens<br />
of Sodium.<br />
Profile Greens holds water like peat, but drains like<br />
sand: Ohio State University proved Profile Greens' 50/50 balance<br />
of capillary and non-capillary pore space will retain water and<br />
yet also let water drain. Water is held within, and drawn through,<br />
the capillary pore space of the porous ceramic particles. The noncapillary<br />
pore space lets water flow through the soil if it becomes<br />
saturated. Adding Profile Greens to sands will increase<br />
percolation rates and improve water availability.<br />
Profile Greens reduces surface algal problems: By frequent light<br />
top dressings of Profile Greens, the excellent absorptive<br />
characteristics enable it to retain the moisture which is necessary<br />
for surface algal growth.<br />

Soil structures explained<br />
THE IDEAL SOIL<br />
Ideal soil should contain 50% solid and 50% pore space.<br />
(½ capillary or water holding pore space and ½ noncapillary<br />
or air-holding and drainage pore space)<br />
COMPACTED SOIL<br />
Compacted soil reduces or eliminates the non<br />
capillary (air-holding and drainage) pore space<br />
SAND SOIL<br />
Sand soils resist compaction, but they have little<br />
water or nutrient retention ability.<br />
Profile Greens should be used for high<br />
performance root zones e.g. golf greens,<br />
bowling greens whilst Profile Field & Fairway is<br />
ideal for use in most amenity areas like sports -<br />
grounds and golf fairways,<br />
SAND/PEAT MIX<br />
(Percolation rate: 12-15" per hour).<br />
Peat has been added to sand soils to increase<br />
water and nutrient retention. The problem is that<br />
peat or other organic materials tend to reduce<br />
water percolation rates and are relatively shortlived.<br />
SAND/PROFILE GREENS MIX<br />
(Percolation rate: 20-24”per hour) Profile brings<br />
sand back to the ideal soil conditions by<br />
balancing pore space. It improves percolation<br />
rates, water retention and nutrient retention.<br />

WHY ALIZE<br />
❱ Alize is a natural zeolite<br />
❱ Zeolites help with the retention of<br />
nutrients in areas which include:<br />
– Sand root zones<br />
– Low existing CEC<br />
– Soil with high leaching potential<br />
– To moderate and balance nutrient inputs<br />
How Alize works<br />
Alize, applied either by top dressing or ‘drill-and-fill’<br />
technique, confers the following benefits to turf applications:<br />
1. Improves nutrient and fertilizer retention in the root zone.<br />
2. Granules adsorb soluble Nitrogen and Potassium, reducing<br />
leaching of key nutreints.<br />
3. Porous granules increase aeration resulting in healthier turf.<br />
4. Improves establishment of newly sown turf.<br />
5. Helps protect against the possibility of fertilizer scorch.<br />
6. Robust granules resist soil compaction.<br />

Zeolites are a family of crystaline aluminosilicate<br />
minerals. In common with other zeolites, Alize has a<br />
three dimensional cage-like structure consiting of<br />
SiO 4 and AlO 4 tetrehedra joined by shared oxygen<br />
atoms. The negative charges of the AlO 4 units are<br />
balanced by the presence of exchangeable<br />
cations which can be readily displaced by other<br />
substances, for example Ammonium ions. This<br />
phenomenom is known as ‘cation exchange’, and it<br />
is the high cation exchange capacity (CEC) of Alize<br />
which provides many of its useful properties.<br />

WHY SOLUBLE IRON<br />
❱ Contains 20.5% Fe<br />
How Soluble Iron works<br />
The product is produced with Citric Acid, thus reducing<br />
the pH of the solution, and the Iron is in the ferrous form (Fe++)<br />
making it more readily available to the plant. The formulation<br />
also contains a wetting agent to facilitate dispersal and has a<br />

WHY MOSQUITO<br />
❱ A high specific gravity allows maximum<br />
Iron application for the amount of<br />
product applied<br />
❱ Low pH ensures Iron availability to the<br />
plant<br />
❱ Economic application in a liquid form<br />
How Mosquito works<br />
Following application, the Iron content stimulates the<br />
plants production of chlorophyll, which in turn enhances turf<br />
colour.<br />
Applied in the autumn, Mosquito hardens the leaf prior to the<br />
onset of winter. Care however should be taken where moss is<br />
present as, at the standard rate, Mosquito will turn the moss<br />
black. In such a situation the area should be scarified and overseeded<br />

How Spike works<br />
Containing Potassium and Silica, the stomatal leaf<br />
opening is regulated and the leaf cell wall turgidity increased.<br />
The Potassium helps the plant to overcome stress effects caused<br />
by drought, cold, traffic and mechanical wear and salinity.<br />
The Silicon accumulates in the leaf cuticles leading to increased<br />
chlorophyll content, improved photosynthesis and enhanced<br />
colour. It also assists root development providing strength, and<br />
the ability to achieve excellent anchorage and deeper<br />
penetration of the root zone.<br />
Strong upright blades ensure a cut above the rest<br />
There is also evidence that Silicon stimulates a reaction by the<br />
plant to disease attack, producing a rapid activation of<br />
peroxides and polyphenoxidases that play an active role in<br />
plant disease suppression.<br />
It is especially effective for turf presentation and to enhance<br />
tolerance to, and recovery from, plant stresses.<br />

solutions<br />
WHY PROPEL-R<br />
❱ New technology with soil micelle<br />
interaction<br />
❱ Advanced formulation gives complete<br />
soil wetting<br />
❱ Reduces soil water repellency to zero<br />
❱ Transports moisture away from the surface<br />
❱ Improves water and air balance in the rootzone<br />
❱ Enhances the soil rhizosphere diversity and activity<br />
The unique formulation of Propel-R uses distinctive<br />
micelles to attract both water and hydrophobic soil<br />
particles together. The micelles are arranged in rods and<br />
multiply significantly the sites in which water can be<br />
reserved for use by the plant roots and other beneficial<br />
organisms in the rhizosphere.<br />
The micelle rods also have a lower friction coefficient<br />
than standard wetting agents, which allows Propel-R to<br />
pass more rapidly into the soil profile. The speed at which<br />
the wetting agent is dispersed through the soil profile<br />
greatly improves the reaction to Dry Patch flare-ups.<br />

How Propel-R works<br />
Prevention is always better than cure Turf grass that has been<br />
drought-stressed will exhaust valuable reserves in an attempt to<br />
restore its natural balance of strength and health, leaving it prone<br />
to diseases and the inability to withstand and recover from<br />
mechanical injury. Maintaining a balanced air/water ratio in the<br />
root zone will inhibit the development of hydrophobic lipids that<br />
can have such a weakening affect on plants and preserve the<br />
plants metabolism and become more resistant to stress.<br />
Regular applications of Propel-R will ensure the rootzone is in the<br />
best condition to supply the necessary moisture and nutrient<br />
transport for optimal plant development.<br />
Soil Water Repellency Results<br />
Rooting: When turf is severely affected by Dry Patch the rooting of the<br />
grass can be significantly restricted. Plants with a shallow and poorly<br />
developed rootzone are in turn more susceptible to drought and will<br />
wilt and eventually die. Propel-R keeps moisture in the tiny spaces<br />
between sand and soil particles and encourages the plant root to<br />
produce fine root hairs that can utilise this moisture and thus minimise<br />
the effects of drought stress.<br />
Trial 1. Water Efficiency<br />
(Mean of trials on replicated plots)<br />
Comparison of Propel-R with the industry standard and<br />
untreated plots* to study the ability of rootzones to<br />
receive and benefit from irrigation.<br />
Analyses of the percentage of water entering the<br />
rootzone after 20 minutes. Measurements were taken<br />
every 20 minutes after an irrigation cycle to determine<br />
water receptivity.<br />
Untreated = 2% Industry standard = 16%<br />
Trial 2. Soil Water Repellency –<br />
M.E.D Values *<br />
(Mean of trials on replicated plots)<br />
Trial to compare Propel-R with the industry standard and<br />
untreated plots* to study the response times of water<br />
entering the rootzone and the maintenance of an M.E.D<br />
value below the critical 1.0 level.<br />
MED = molarity of ethanol droplet<br />
MED values typically range from 0 (no<br />
hydrophobicity) to 4 (extreme hydrophobicity)<br />
Propel-R = 22%<br />
Propel-R gave the greatest benefit<br />
* Trials took place on plots with rootzones that had an M.E.D Value of 2.4<br />
❱PROPEL-R GRANULES<br />
Using the same formulation as the liquid, Propel-R Granules has an<br />
advanced dust free, uniform granular carrier specifically developed<br />
for turf application.<br />
Initial application made in March when the M.E.D value<br />
was 1.9. A second treatment was made after 14 days<br />
and then at monthly intervals.<br />
Propel-R gave the greatest benefit in the<br />
speed of response and the length of<br />
time M.E.D values were kept below the<br />

STRI results prove it!<br />
Independent research carried out by the STRI in 2009 which included leading wetting agents, showed that Breaker<br />
BioLinks, when applied preventatively, reduced the severity of Dry Patch, improved turf colour, turf quality and soil<br />
moisture content.<br />
In addition,<br />
“Applied after the rootzone had dried (curatively), only Breaker BioLinks improved turf quality<br />
and reduced Dry Patch severity.”<br />
Wetting and spreading<br />
This agent reduces surface tension of water droplets so they<br />
can spread more readily across the turf surface. Increases<br />
the speed at which excess surface water is moved down into<br />
the rootzone.<br />
Conventional Wetters<br />
Water droplets falling onto<br />
grass surface<br />
Breaker BioLinks<br />
spreads water over the<br />
surface to a far greater extent<br />
Re-Wetting<br />
Breaker BioLinks moves through hydrophobic layers and<br />
works up to 30% deeper in the rootzone. This ensures uniform<br />
wetting of the soil profile rather than just the surface or thatch<br />
layer and improves the air:moisture balance to allow the<br />
roots to penetrate beyond the Dry Patch zone.<br />
With Breaker BioLinks a visible response by the turf can be<br />
seen in 48 hours when applied with irrigation and a dry soil will<br />
be totally re-wetted in 4-6 hours.<br />
Programmed Approach<br />
Breaker BioLinks has been developed to work both on a<br />
preventative and curative level.<br />
Due to the residual activity of Breaker BioLinks in the rootzone a<br />
concentration of wetting agent increases in line with the<br />
number of applications during the season. This cumulative effect<br />
has significant benefits when Dry Patch becomes most<br />
prevalent during July/August.<br />

Biological Recuperation<br />
Breaker BioLinks contains<br />
phytohormones (auxins, cytokinins,<br />

refined Hebridean-sourced seaweed.<br />
The integration of these components<br />
into the water management<br />

❱BREAKER DYNAMIC<br />
Wetting agent – proven surfactant<br />
technology for the management of<br />
water-related problems<br />
WHY BREAKER DYNAMIC<br />
❱ Superb control and prevention of<br />
Dry Patch<br />
❱ Maximises irrigation efficiency<br />
– make best use of the water you apply<br />
❱ Improved penetration system gets active<br />
even deeper into the soil, even through<br />
hydrophobic layers<br />
❱ Moves moisture away from turf surface<br />
❱ Encourages improved root growth<br />
❱ Extremely safe to turf, no risk of scorch<br />
❱ Liquid, granular, tablet and fairway formulations<br />
How Breaker Dynamic works<br />
Dry Patch results from a build up of organic<br />
matter on soil particles caused by fungal mycelium<br />
deposits, such as those left behind following Fairy<br />
Rings. This deposit is made up of waxes and lipids<br />
and is highly water-repellent – a hydrophobic<br />
coating that prevents water from attaching to, and<br />
wetting, the soil. Breaker Dynamic can attach to<br />
both water and the organic coating on the soil<br />
particles to provide a ‘bridge’ or link between two<br />
otherwise incompatible substances; this allows the soil to<br />
be re-hydrated.<br />
The Breaker formulation chemistry alters the structure of<br />
water molecules to allow them to spread out giving<br />
maximum coverage over the soil surface. The penetrants<br />
then ensure water is moved down both horizontally and<br />
vertically within the soil profile to where it is needed in the<br />
rootzone.<br />

How Breaker Curative 2 works<br />
It is the unique Tenside Hydrophobe Chemistry in<br />
Breaker Curative 2 that targets the water repellent materials<br />
which bind to the sand particles that make the rootzone<br />
unable to re-wet. The mild cleansing action removes the<br />
waxy materials and places them in solution, which means<br />
they can be flushed from the rootzone profile. As Breaker<br />
Curative 2 keeps the materials in a true solution, they cannot<br />
re-attach themselves to the sand particles.<br />
Combined Breaker Curative 2 and<br />
Breaker Dynamic applications<br />
Breaker Curative 2 will cure soil water repellency but will not<br />
help water penetrate through and maintain even moisture<br />
distribution in the rootzone. Breaker Curative 2 is best<br />
applied as part of a combined application programme with<br />
Breaker Dynamic liquid or other high quality wetting agents.<br />
If water droplets do not penetrate into air-dried soil cores<br />
within one minute then the soil may be considered to be<br />
water repellent. This technique is extremely useful in<br />
assessing whether a wetting agent or other material has had<br />
an effect on soil water repellency.<br />
Trials on 100% sand rootzones and USGA rootzone<br />
constructions have shown the reduction in soil water<br />
repellency that can be achieved using a Breaker Curative<br />
2/Breaker Dynamic liquid programme. (See website for<br />

WHY HYDROPRO-2<br />
❱ Consistent control and prevention of<br />

❱ Reverse block co-polymer improves<br />
longevity between application<br />
❱ Customized programmed approach<br />
❱ Effective and economical solution to<br />
treating water repellent soils<br />
❱ Enhanced plant health<br />
How HydroPro-2 works<br />
Localised Dry Patch develops when waxy lipids are<br />
created from organic matter by fungal mycelium in root<br />
zones. These lipids coat soil/sand particles and effectively<br />
create a barrier to the infiltration of moisture, creating a water<br />
repellent root zone.<br />
HydroPro-2 is a long chain polymer-based molecule; where<br />
one end is hydrophilic (likes water) and the other end is<br />
hydrophobic (prefers the waxy coated soil particles). When<br />
applied to a turf root zone the molecules attach themselves to<br />
the hydrophobic soil particles, the opposite end is then free to<br />
retain water and subsequently re-hydrate the soil. The benefit<br />
of using a reverse block co-polymer is that it is degraded more<br />
slowly by microbial activity than standard block co-polymers<br />
and retains more of its wetting ability between applications.<br />

litres per hectare in reduced water volume equivalent to<br />
100litres per hectare. Eland was added at normal rate and<br />
compatibilities were measured at 5, 30 and 120 minute<br />
intervals.<br />
The Eland tank mix remained homogenous 2 hours after<br />
mixing but a small amount of sediment had evolved.<br />

❱DEW-T<br />
For the rapid and effective<br />
dispersal of dew formation,<br />
surface moisture and light frost<br />
on fine and coarse turf grass<br />
WHY DEW-T<br />
❱ Excellent prevention of dew formation<br />
(up to 14 days).<br />
❱ Gives a cleaner cut when mowing<br />
❱ Start mowing operations earlier in the day<br />
❱ Cultural method of disease management<br />
❱ Cost effective dew control operation,<br />
when compared to traditional switching<br />
and brushing<br />
❱ Safe to beneficial microbes<br />
❱ Low application rate and water volume<br />
How Dew-T works<br />
Surface moisture on the leaf can provide the optimum<br />
habitat for diseases such as Fusarium Patch or Dollar Spot.<br />
Both strive in cool, moist conditions. Dew can also<br />
encourage moss growth, especially in the Spring and<br />
Autumn.<br />
One common solution is the use of a dew brush. This can add<br />
disturbance to the leaf at times where climate conditions are<br />
already adding additional stress factors to the turfgrass. They<br />
can also be labour intensive wasting time and resources.<br />
Dew-T contains unique polymeric surfactants that have a<br />
twin mode of action. Firstly they are very effective at<br />
reducing the surface tension of water molecules thus<br />
preventing dew formation. Secondly they have a very strong<br />
binding capacity, which enables them to attach to the<br />
surface of the waxy leaf surface which causes the moisture<br />
to run off.<br />

❱MICROCAL<br />
Micro-granulated form<br />
of Calcium Carbonate<br />
for correcting acidic pH<br />
imbalances<br />
How Microcal works<br />
Microcal is a micro-granulated form of Carbonate of Lime,<br />
making application a dust-free and simple operation. It helps to<br />
re-dress the pH balance in soils that are too acidic.<br />
When experiencing excessive acidic conditions apply Microcal,<br />
followed by regular pH tests to ascertain if further applications<br />
are required.<br />

“<br />
Our main stadium pitch is marked<br />
out for our football matches using<br />
a transfer wheel machine and Duraline<br />
Stadia and Standard paints. These give<br />
us an excellent bright line and the lasting<br />
qualities we require. For the training<br />
grounds however, where we have<br />
multiple pitches we have four iGO<br />
machines that apply Impact XP ready to<br />
use spray marker paint. All our staff like<br />
these machines, they are easy to use,<br />
allow us to apply lines very quickly and<br />
though we have trialed other systems<br />
we find the Impact system to be the<br />
best for our needs.<br />

❱GRASS SEED TECHNOLOGY<br />
This is Tetraploid Technology<br />
Having double the number of<br />
chromosomes, including<br />
chloroplast for chlorophyll<br />
production, is what makes<br />
tetraploid perennial ryegrasses<br />
high vigour and extremely stresstolerant<br />
plants.<br />
Fastest establishment, particularly when renovation<br />
windows are short and repairs are urgent is a<br />
distinct benefit at any time of year.<br />
Cool Performer<br />
Tetraploids germinate and establish faster than diploid<br />
ryes, especially in cooler conditions from just 4°C and<br />
superior winter wear and robust re-growth helps keep<br />
surfaces in play thoughout this intense pressure period.<br />

“Go-to” Choice<br />
Delivering the fastest germination, establishment and<br />

blended with diploid ryes or fescues have fast become<br />
reliable performers that always deliver. Eight distinctly<br />
different mixtures for stadiums, training grounds, sports<br />
fields, racecourses, cricket outfields, golf courses and<br />
landscaping make them the “go-to” choice for <strong>2017</strong>.<br />

Barbarians, All Blacks & Australia<br />
“<br />
We overseeded during the first week of July and<br />
played our first game on the new sward during the<br />
last week of August. Since then R140 has certainly<br />
lived up to expectations and has established an excellent<br />
root development in terms of root depth and structure – so<br />
much better than we ever had.<br />
Everyone’s expectations for the quality of our playing<br />
surfaces are increasingly being raised and R140 is<br />
definitely helping us to meet those demands. We<br />
have hosted training sessions for the Barbarians, the<br />
All Blacks and Australia, which says so much about<br />
pitch standards. These professionals sometimes use<br />
the pitches for up to three hours at a time and I’m<br />
glad to say the surfaces have withstood the heavy<br />
wear and tear that such sessions create.<br />

The England team Euro 2016 training<br />
pitches at Chantilly were superb as,<br />
where possible, we try to replicate the<br />
quality of surface that the players are used to<br />
when training at St. George’s Park or playing<br />
at Wembley.<br />
The pitches were overseeded with<br />
Rigby Taylor’s R140 and R14CR<br />

We use different grass mixtures from the<br />
Rigby Taylor ‘R’ Range on different<br />

pitches and R14 on six pitches including the two<br />
‘match’ pitches. This allows us to achieve top<br />
results within budget whilst also providing the<br />
required standard of playing surfaces.<br />
The R11 100% perennial ryegrass gives rapid<br />
establishment with all-year-round colour and is<br />
particularly disease tolerant; R14 (also used at<br />
the stadium) boosts rapid establishment<br />
and high tolerance to wear and disease,<br />
plus all-year-round colour; the R14CR<br />
creeping perennial rye has all the above<br />

A breakthrough in grass seed treatment, stimulating and<br />
supporting accelerated germination and emergence<br />
Germin-8 is a potent liquid cocktail of specialty penetrating surfactants,<br />
nutrients and sugars, pre-applied to each individual grass seed and<br />
activated when the seed comes into contact with moisture in the rootzone.<br />
Successful seed establishment has three key phases:<br />
1 Germination<br />
When rootzone moisture is present, the<br />
speciality surfactant in Germin-8, with its<br />
penetrant properties provides effective<br />
penetration of water into the seed by<br />
lowering the surface tension.<br />
At the active germination stage, each<br />
emerging seedling has immediate access to<br />
a highly beneficial package of targeted<br />
nutrients, sugars and micronised<br />
mycorrhizae.<br />
2<br />
Emergence<br />
Accelerated germination enables the<br />
emerging plants to benefit from<br />
applications of pre-seed fertilizer and biostimulants,<br />
such as Activate R, to significantly<br />
increase speed of establishment.<br />

Germin-8 offers particular benefits under<br />

As a liquid seed treatment, there is no risk of<br />
broken coating particles or dust and with<br />
just a maximum 2% increase in weight there<br />
is no requirement to increase seed sowing<br />
above the recommended rates.<br />

Preparation & Aftercare<br />
Pre-preparation of the soil surface prior to<br />
laying turf is vital. For best results lay the turf<br />
on the day of delivery. Once the turf has<br />
been laid, make sure that it is kept damp<br />
(without overwatering) until the roots have<br />
anchored it firmly to the soil. You can start<br />
mowing the turf as soon as the surface feels<br />
firm enough to walk on.<br />
An application of Activate R, containing<br />
Enhanced Root Developer (ERD) will assist the<br />
rooting establishment process. With our<br />
Greens turf on USGA rootzone, it’s advisable<br />
to apply a fungicide, as insurance, soon after<br />
laying. Although the turf will have had<br />
prophylactic fungicide treatments during<br />
production, the stress of lifting and transport<br />
can make the turf more susceptible to<br />
Fusarium.<br />
Following the laying, take the cutting height<br />
down slowly over the following weeks, never<br />
cutting off more than a third of the leaf at<br />
any one time.<br />
A professional laying service for big rolls is<br />
available when required. Laying is<br />
undertaken using bespoke equipment.<br />
Where time is short, 10,000 sq.m can be laid<br />
in 24 hours. Ask your Rigby Taylor<br />
representative for more details.<br />

study showed major savings by<br />
sowing Euroflor mixtures. Strategic<br />
locations were selected where<br />
urban flower mixes would look<br />
best, such as roundabouts,<br />
housing estates, trunk roads and<br />
motorways, and determined that<br />
Euroflor urban flower mixes would<br />
replace 85% of annual bedding.<br />

In Solihull, West Midland, Amey’s<br />
regional groundscare contracts operation<br />
undertook a sowing of the Euroflor Sarah<br />
Bouquet urban meadow flower seed mixture.<br />
“By sowing the urban flower mix in an area that<br />
is traditionally grass and cut by Amey 18 times a<br />
year, we’ve created a visually impressive display<br />
that has transformed an area of usually dull<br />
grassland. Not only has it attracted positive<br />
comments but reduced the cutting frequency<br />
down to just once a year.”"<br />
Tim McGibbon<br />
Amey Regional Contracts Manager<br />
Solihull<br />
“In conjunction with a tee renovation, it was necessary to change<br />
the course of a stream and because the banks were bare we<br />
decided to sow some Euroflor urban meadow flower seed in<br />
order to give some visual aesthetics to the hole.<br />
The flower seed mixtures used were Ground Cover and Honey,<br />
which encouraged visits by bees resulting in the production of<br />
some fantastic honey! The club membership was completely<br />
taken by the flower display and received many accolades<br />
through the season from visitors and garden enthusiasts.<br />
We had colour all the way into the latter part of October right up<br />
to the first frosts.”<br />
Scott Gibson<br />

St. Enodoc Golf Club, Cornwall<br />
“Euroflor flower seed was sown on the course in March 2016<br />
between holes fifteen and sixteen. It has been a great success<br />
not only by reducing maintenance but also providing great<br />
colour and interest for course members to enjoy. Following on<br />
from this success we are now planning to continue and extend<br />

In 2016, at the height of the holiday season, Euroflor urban flower seeds<br />
were sown on the esplanade overlooking the seafront at Lossiemouth<br />
and transformed the area with a riot of colour for all to enjoy. The<br />
esplanade has the distinction of being the most northerly in the country.<br />
“This type of display has advantages over the flower beds that we used<br />
to have. in that it is low cost, takes only a few minutes to sow the seed<br />
and once the seed germinates the flowers take care of themselves.”<br />

Wildflower Maintenance<br />
Spring<br />
As grasses start to grow before the wildflowers, a spring cut in April down to<br />
7.5cm will reduce competition from the grasses. Remove all grass cuttings to<br />
avoid adding fertility back to the soil.<br />
If any unwanted weed species emerge these will need removing either by<br />
hand or by carefully spot treating with a herbicide. Weeds are more likely to<br />
show in the first year after sowing.<br />
Autumn<br />
Towards the end of the summer (August to September) most flowers will begin<br />
to die back and this is the time to make a ‘hay cut’. The area will want cutting<br />
down to around 7.5cm with the cuttings being left to dry on the surface for up<br />
to a week, this will allow the cut flowers to shed their seed. The cuttings can<br />
then be raked up and removed.<br />
If there are annuals present it is important that their seed is returned to the soil<br />
to allow them to regenerate again the following spring. To achieve this, the<br />
area will need vigorously raking or, for larger areas, harrowing. This will break<br />
the surface and allow the annual seed to make contact with the soil.<br />

NO water, less waste<br />
The award winning Impact Paint System is a global<br />
leader, unbeaten in over 40 countries across the<br />
entire range of sporting venues from international<br />
through professional league, educational and<br />
community. Its unprecedented success has now<br />
spread to golf courses for marking hazard lines and<br />
out of bounds.<br />
A winner of two Queens Awards, its<br />
unprecedented success is due to its groundbreaking<br />
ready-to-use formulation combined<br />
with unique precision engineered nozzles.<br />
Advanced spray atomization delivers a vast<br />
reduction in water usage in comparison with<br />
dilutable concentrate paints, a huge leap forward<br />
for the line-marking industry in terms of practicality,<br />
efficiency and associated cost.<br />
*Temporary lines only on synthetic surfaces, great for multi-use synthetic pitches. For more<br />
permanent, longer lasting markings, Duraline Synthetic paint is highly recommended<br />
Using from as little as 1.1litre of paint to over-mark a<br />
standard sized football pitch significantly reduces<br />
travel between multi-use sites, thus minimizing<br />
harmful CO 2 and particulate diesel emissions. The<br />
design of the Impact spray machines component<br />
parts is so versatile that any spray line marking<br />
machine needs only a small conversion to spray<br />
Impact paints.<br />

The Paint<br />
Adopting unique chemistry and the most<br />
advanced formulation techniques, Impact paints<br />
provide the brightest, whitest lines with light<br />
reflecting qualities superior to snow! And, Impact<br />
colours are vibrant and long lasting, yet so easy to<br />
apply.<br />
multiple pitches, is quick and trouble free. Just one<br />
10 litre drum of Impact XP paint can over-mark up<br />
to 9 standard sized football pitches using a gold<br />
cone nozzle in one operation. All these pitches<br />
can be marked without the inconvenience of<br />
frequent returns to a base for re-fills and the down<br />
time of further mixing, pouring and return trips.<br />
The paint has superior drying qualities and under<br />
dry conditions in moderate temperatures above<br />
5°C will become rainfast in as little as 20 minutes.<br />
Applying Impact paint using, either an iGO, Glider<br />
or Armaline spray marking machine to mark<br />
Independent, cost assessment studies carried<br />
out by Doncaster Metropolitan Borough<br />
Council showed that by switching their line<br />
marking practices from dilutable concentrates<br />
to the ready to use Impact system, they were<br />
able to save<br />
many thousands<br />
of pounds of tax<br />
payers money,<br />
including a<br />
significant saving<br />
in water consumption which is also positive for<br />
the environment.<br />
The full case study is available in pdf or printed<br />
format from Rigby Taylor on request.<br />
Carrying 3 x 5 litre Eco-Bags, 13 pitches<br />
could be over-marked, or using 2 x 10 litre<br />
drums up to 18 pitches can be overmarked,<br />
without returning to base or<br />
carrying a heavy tank of dilutable paint<br />
and water which can cause compaction<br />
on wet, winter pitches.<br />

PURE<br />
Introducing the first fully biodegradable<br />
ready-to-use Impact line marking<br />
paint. Used straight from its container,<br />
Impact Pure requires no measuring,<br />
mixing or added water.<br />
Following extensive research and advanced<br />
formulation technology, Impact Pure delivers...<br />
✲ Ready to Use paint formulation<br />
✲ 98.6% natural ingredients,<br />
✲ No Titanium Dioxide or synthetic resins<br />
✲ Delivers bright white lines<br />
✲ As little as 1.5 litre per over-mark<br />
✲ Red, amber or green cone nozzle recommended<br />
Environmental Impact<br />
The development of Impact Pure is a natural<br />
progression in the company’s commitment to the<br />
introduction of sustainable products.<br />
Impact Pure is an organic based, ready-to-use line<br />
marking paint formulated to produce bright, white<br />
lines on natural grass surfaces.<br />
Containing 98.6% readily biodegradable<br />
ingredients, the majority derived from vegetables,<br />
fruits and cereals, Impact Pure is manufactured<br />
without the use of Titanium Dioxide, acrylic polymers<br />
or chemical binders.<br />
In addition, due to the reduction in the need for<br />
processing the natural raw materials required for<br />
paint production, carbon emissions are minimized<br />
and energy conserved.<br />
0800 424919 146
The Packaging<br />
Selected Impact paints are supplied in 5 and 10 litre drums<br />
and for XP formulations also in 5 litre disposable Eco-bags.<br />
Because Impact formulations are ready-to-use straight from<br />
their containers, there is no requirement for the operator to<br />
have any direct contact with the paint. Impact paints,<br />
unlike dilutable concentrates that require mixing with<br />
added water, there is no contact with paint splashes onto<br />
skin or clothing. All the operator has to do is unscrew the<br />
container cap, insert the flow-probe and screw the cap<br />
back on…no measuring, pouring or mess!<br />
XP Eco Bags<br />
The storage and disposal of multiple paint containers when<br />
marking a large number of pitches can be expensive. The<br />
Eco-bag is specially designed for Impact XP paint and<br />
manufactured using very strong, high gauge plastic with<br />
easy-carry handles. Simply roll up when empty and place in<br />
a normal household waste container.<br />

❱LINE MARKING APPLICATORS<br />
The Rigby Taylor line marking machine range offers equipment<br />
options for spray, transfer wheel and aerosol paint application.<br />
The iGO, iGO Mini, Glider and Armaline spray markers are<br />
state of the art machines featuring specially engineered<br />
nozzles to match the atomization characteristics of the<br />
different Impact paint range formulations.<br />
Paint application through a spray marker can be made on all surfaces. Unlike transfer wheel markers that ‘roll’ the paint onto<br />
the surface and, where grass is not present, pick-up soil on the wheel and achieve inconsistent markings, spray markers do<br />
not touch the target surface and will mark a visible line whatever the surface conditions.<br />
The integration of paint formulation with nozzle design and performance is a major advance in line marking application and<br />
offers the operator a range of application rates determined by nozzle flow.<br />

The Benefits<br />
The<br />
Armaline<br />
Kit<br />
✱ Efficient and effective over-marking of multiple<br />
pitches<br />
✱ Marks out a standard sized football pitch in<br />
under 10 minutes<br />
✱ Impact paint ensures no downtime wasted<br />
measuring and mixing<br />
✱ Marks up to 10 pitches with just a single 10 litre<br />
drum of Impact paint<br />
✱ Time saved as there is not wasted time returning<br />
to base for re-filling<br />
✱ No heavy water tank that can cause<br />
compaction of winter pitch surfaces<br />
One pitch marked in<br />
6.9 minutes, using less than<br />
1 litre of Impact paint<br />
Manchester City Council (MCC) decided to compare its<br />
current Ride-On machine and paint use with the Armaline and<br />
Impact paint system. Using an experienced operator, the MCC<br />
trial concluded that significant savings, combined with superior<br />
line quality, could be achieved by switching its pitch line<br />
marking operation to the Armaline/Impact paint partnership.<br />

Preline<br />
A ready-to-use, specially formulated<br />
brilliant white marking paint<br />
containing glyphosate for suppressing<br />
grass growth and creating<br />
semi-permanent lines that will last for<br />
up to 12 weeks.<br />
Preline...the proof<br />
Week 1<br />
Week 3<br />
The ideal initial marking paint<br />
for multiple pitches<br />
Saving time and money:<br />
Applications of Preline will extend the length of time the<br />
line remains visible following initial marking. If subsequent<br />
over-marking is delayed due to impractical or adverse<br />
conditions e.g. inclement weather, hazardous access or<br />
remote locations, the Preline lines will persist for a<br />
prolonged period, reducing the need to over-mark as<br />
frequently to maintain the initial lines.<br />
Convenient to use:<br />
Supplied as a ready-to-use formulation, Preline contains<br />
a brilliant white line marking paint and glyphosate. The<br />
product requires no measuring or<br />
mixing and is easy and quick<br />
to apply. Just a single<br />
application in one direction<br />
through a transfer wheel<br />
marker is required delivering<br />
a constant line that will not<br />
‘creep’.<br />

We invested in <strong>RT</strong>’s iGo Mini to line<br />
around greens during winter to aid<br />
their protection from buggies and<br />
trolleys. The lines are visual for three weeks,<br />
which in the long term not only saves money<br />
on paint but also valuable savings on labour<br />

DRESSINGS<br />
❱GREEN-SPREAD<br />
WHY GREEN-SPREAD<br />
❱ Fine graded, naturally sourced from plant<br />
materials<br />
❱ Environmentally friendly produced<br />
product<br />
❱ Consistent and guaranteed quality<br />
specification<br />
❱ BSI PAS 100 accredited high quality<br />
compost<br />

❱ A range of products available for flexibility<br />

❱ Ideal for groundsmen, landscapers and<br />
local authorities<br />
How Green-Spread works<br />
Green-Spread high quality compost is produced totally by natural<br />
means, with a period of rapid decomposition and self-heating<br />
(which sanitises the material) continued by a cooler and slower<br />
decay of the woodier organic matter. When this composting<br />
process is finally completed, the product can be graded into<br />
different particle sizes depending on the use required.<br />
Green-Spread offers many benefits including:<br />
✱ Increasing soil microbial activity<br />
✱ Improving turf density and colour, encouraged by the presence<br />
of slow release Nitrogen, Iron and Magnesium<br />
✱ Plant disease suppression, due to beneficial soil micro-organisms<br />
present<br />
✱ Providing a large range of micronutrients e.g. Boron, Magnesium<br />
and Manganese that have a vital role in many plant<br />
physiological processes e.g. enzyme reactions and<br />
photosynthesis.<br />
✱ Improving the soil structure by helping form larger pore spaces<br />
resulting in improved oxygen aeration as well reducing the<br />
effects of soil compaction, so improving drainage and reducing<br />
the problems associated with water-logging.<br />
✱ Increasing the Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) of the soil so<br />
nutrients are made available for a longer period of time rather<br />
than being easily leached away through the soil profile.<br />
✱ Improving root growth and overall turf establishment but without<br />
encouraging flush growth that can weaken the plant and make<br />
it more susceptible to fungal disease.<br />
Product range<br />
Green-Spread can be used as a<br />
straight compost and is available in<br />
a range of screened particle sizes<br />
depending on the use required.<br />
Coarse grades are available which<br />
are more suitable for use in<br />
landscaping situations eg. amenity<br />
mulch (20-40mm) and bark<br />
replacement mulch (10-20mm),<br />
whereas the finer particle grades are<br />
more suited for example for use as a<br />
top dressing (0-8mm). The compost<br />
specification details will vary<br />
depending on the use.<br />
In addition Green-Spread can be customised to the customer's<br />
own specification, for example being mixed with other organic<br />
matter and brought on site ready mixed for immediate use.<br />
Green-Spread is available nationally, delivered as loose loads<br />
either as the compost in its own right (cubic metres) or as a mixed<br />
product with other materials (tonnes). Comprehensive<br />
specification sheets are available for all products.<br />

FUNGICIDE APPLICATION TIMING<br />
Fungicides are generally classified into specific groups and<br />
should ideally be applied when conditions are conducive to<br />
disease attack, or at the first sign of a disease outbreak.<br />
Different groups of fungicides have different modes of action.<br />
Some are multi-site, others are single site inhibitors. Some work<br />
better when the grass is actively growing whilst others perform<br />
better under cold conditions.<br />
Curative Action: Opposite to prevention is to cure an infection<br />
after it has already occurred. Here, spores will have already<br />
entered the leaf tissue and are actively producing mycelial<br />
growth inside the leaf. It is vital for effective control that<br />
application of a curative fungicide is applied immediately any<br />
sign of disease is observed. Most fungicides with curative<br />
action will also protect plants that have not been infected.<br />
SPORE GERMINATION PENETRATION MYCELIAL GROWTH BLISTERING SPORULATION<br />
PREVENTATIVE/PROTECTANT ACTION<br />
Prevents and/or protects against spore<br />
germination and infection on leaf surface<br />
Apply fungicide prior to periods of high<br />
disease risk before infection occurs<br />
CURATIVE ACTION<br />
Prevents early disease<br />
development inside the plant<br />
Treat during periods of high<br />
disease pressure when infection<br />
may have occurred but<br />
symptoms not yet visible<br />
ERADICANT ACTION<br />
Halts pathogen development when<br />
disease symptoms are visible and<br />
prevents further spread<br />
Apply fungicide treatments immediately at first<br />
visible signs of disease infection<br />
Preventatiive Action: When weather/climatic conditions are ideal<br />
for disease development, it is highly likely that disease spores will<br />
be active on the leaf surface. However, these spores may not<br />
have penetrated (infected) the plant. Applying a fungicide as a<br />
preventative application before infection occurs will ensure that<br />
the plant is protected. The difficulty however is predicting when<br />
infection may occur and here local knowledge, consulting past<br />
records and attention to weather forecasts is essential.<br />
Tank Mixing – More recently it has been shown that combining<br />
as a tank mix, two or more products from different chemical<br />
groups and with differing modes of action can improve the<br />
overall effect and reduce the risk of disease resistance. Rigby<br />
Taylor provide a range of disease control strategies. See your<br />

TURF DISEASE IDENTIFICATION<br />
Fusarium Patch<br />
(Microdochium nivale)<br />
Anthracnose<br />
(Colletotrichum cereale)<br />
Red Thread<br />
(Laetisaria fuciformis)<br />
Symptoms<br />
The disease first shows as small patches<br />
of yellowish, dying grass that later turn<br />
brown, increase in size and coalesce. In<br />
moist, humid weather the patches may<br />
become covered with a white or faintly<br />
pink cotton like fungal growth, which<br />
mats the dying vegetation together.<br />
The disease is encouraged by lack of<br />
aeration and excessive use of<br />
Nitrogenous fertilisers, especially when<br />
applied after August.<br />
Conditions favouring development<br />
❉ Thrives during warm, wet weather<br />
12-19°C<br />
❉ Can occur during summer months<br />
❉ Symptoms often masked by fast<br />
growth<br />
❉ Spread under moist conditions and<br />
slow growth<br />
❉ Transmitted by wind-borne asexual<br />
spores<br />
❉ Lies dormant on dead leaf matter<br />
❉ Can be carried on tyres and shoes<br />
Symptoms<br />
Anthracnose occurs in two forms, basal<br />
rot and foliar blight, which can develop<br />
at different times of year according to<br />
weather conditions. Basal rot symptoms<br />
are yellowing leaves, with the youngest<br />
leaf brick-red in colour and black rot<br />
appearing at the base of the leaves.<br />
With foliar blight, symptoms appear as<br />
irregular, yellow or brown patches of<br />
turf, which turn tan and die. It can be<br />
mistaken for drought, however the<br />
symptoms worsen with watering and<br />
numerous small black fruiting bodies<br />
covered with black spines can be seen<br />
at the rotting base of the plant.<br />
Conditions favouring development<br />
❉ Presence of Poa annua<br />
❉ Basal rot appears under wet/cool<br />
conditions<br />
❉ Foliar blight occurs under higher<br />
summer temperatures<br />
❉ More likely to occur when the turf<br />
under stress<br />
- Low fertility (particularly Nitrogen)<br />
- Soil compaction,<br />
- Drought<br />
- Excessively low mowing heights<br />
❉ Insect/nematode activity can<br />
encourage development<br />
Symptoms<br />
Patches of affected grass with a<br />
reddish tinge at first, later becoming<br />
light brown or almost bleached in<br />
appearance. Patches vary in size from<br />
7.5cm to 25cm in diameter but can be<br />
much larger.Two types of fungal growth<br />
may be seen on the patches,<br />
particularly under wet or humid<br />
conditions. The first takes the form of<br />
small, pink, cottony flocks, and can be<br />
confused with growth of the fungus<br />
causing Snow Mould. The second is<br />
specific to red thread – pinkish-red,<br />
gelatinous, thread-like structures<br />
(stromata), 1-2mm in length, are<br />
produced on the leaves and may bind<br />
them together. When dry, the pink<br />
strands are brittle and resemble red<br />
threads. These shatter and spread the<br />
disease. Dry fragments can survive for<br />
up to two years.<br />
Conditions favouring development<br />
❉ Attacks Fescue and Lolium perenne<br />
species<br />
❉ Favours mild temperatures/damp<br />
surface<br />
❉ Grass susceptible with low fertility<br />
❉ Slow growing turfgrass<br />

Dollar Spot<br />
(Sclerotinia homoeocarpa)<br />
Brown Patch<br />
(Rhizoctonia solani)<br />
Rust<br />
(Puccina spp.)<br />
Symptoms<br />
Dollar Spot is most commonly found on<br />
closely mowed turfgrasses. The disease<br />
appears as round, brown to strawcolored<br />
and somewhat sunken spots,<br />
often seen in clusters. Dollar Spot is<br />
readily distinguished from other turf<br />
disease by light-tan lesions with a<br />
reddish-brown border on the leaf<br />
blades of live plants near the edge of<br />
the affected area. Early in the day or in<br />
periods of extended dew, cobweb-like<br />
mycelium of the fungus can be seen<br />
growing on affected areas. During early<br />
stages of the disease, affected plants<br />
may appear water-soaked and wilted,<br />
but spots quickly fade to a<br />
characteristic straw colour.<br />
Conditions favouring development<br />
❉ Thrives under periods of high humidity<br />
15-30<br />
❉ Grass susceptible under heavy dew<br />
formation<br />
❉ High humidity during day, cool at<br />
nights<br />
❉ Fescue and Poa annua are at high<br />
risk<br />
❉ Disease requires high moisture in leaf<br />
canopy<br />
Symptoms<br />
Turfgrasses that are wet for extended<br />
periods and are closely mowed will<br />
produce a distinctive gray-purplish<br />
bordered ring that is up to 50cm in<br />
diameter. On taller cut grasses that are<br />
not wet for extended periods will begin<br />
to produce patches that can be<br />
several feet in diameter and may have<br />
a ‘frogeye’ appearance. White<br />
mycelium can be found on dewcovered<br />
turf in the early part of the<br />
morning. On a closer look at the leaf<br />
blades you may be able to see tan to<br />
brown small, irregular shaped lesions.<br />
Conditions favouring development<br />
❉ Thrives in temperatures range 70°F to<br />
90°F<br />
❉ Can survive freezing conditions<br />
❉ It is most when temperatures keep<br />
above 68°F<br />
❉ Attacks during extended periods of<br />
high humidity<br />
❉ Thrives on lush and succulent growth<br />
❉ Over winters in grass tissue or Sclerotia<br />
bodies<br />
Symptoms<br />
Rust appears as an orange or yellowishorange<br />
powder (spores) on grass leaf<br />
blades, especially in late summer to<br />
early autumn when the weather is dry.<br />
Overall, the turf may assume a yellow,<br />
red, or brown appearance. Close<br />
examination will reveal the pustules,<br />
which easily rub off on your hand.<br />
Conditions favouring development<br />
❉ Low fertility (in particular Nitrogen)<br />
❉ Cool nights with heavy dew<br />
❉ Frequent light rainfall increases risk<br />
❉ Cloud and humidity followed by hot,<br />
sunny weather<br />
❉ Spreads via air, water, shoes,<br />
equipment<br />
❉ Weakens grass making it more<br />
susceptible to other problems<br />

Grey Snow Mould<br />
(Typhula spp.)<br />
Leaf Spot<br />
(Drechslera poae)<br />
Fairy Rings<br />
(Basidiomycetes)<br />
Symptoms<br />
Consist of roughly circular patches (at<br />
least 3 to 12 inches) of dead and<br />
matted grass blades. In severe cases,<br />
these patches coalesce and may not<br />
be recognizable as individual circles. A<br />
useful identifying characteristic of Grey<br />
Snow Mould is the presence of tiny<br />
brown to black mycelial masses<br />
(sclerotia) on the blades and in the leaf<br />
sheaths of infec ted plants. These<br />
survival structures vary in size and color,<br />
becoming smaller and darker as they<br />
dry.<br />
Conditions favouring development<br />
❉ Active are active at temperatures<br />
just above freezing<br />
❉ Favours most conditions for<br />
development<br />
❉ Thrives under a blanket of fresh snow<br />
or fallen leaves.<br />
❉ Remains inactive during the warm<br />
months when other<br />
❉ Spores can survive in thatch and on<br />
Scerotinia bodies<br />
Symptoms<br />
Leaf spots on turfgrass leaf blades<br />
begin as small red to purplish ovals that<br />
later develop tan centers of dead<br />
tissue with darker borders (‘eye spots’).<br />
The fungi that cause leaf spots directly<br />
penetrate leaf sheaths and blades at<br />
random or enter via mowing wounds<br />
which commonly leads to a tip blight.<br />
When turfgrass is succulent from recent<br />
Nitrogen fertilization and there is<br />
abundant moisture on the leaf blades,<br />
numerous leaf spot infections per blade<br />
can occur. The leaf spots may then<br />
coalesce and cause extensive<br />
blighting. The fungus may even invade<br />
the crowns and roots, leaving the<br />
plants weakened and rotted. This<br />
severe stage is called ‘melting-out’.<br />
Large areas of dead or badly<br />
weakened turfgrass may result.<br />
Conditions favouring development<br />
❉ Active at mild, warm temperatures<br />
around 20°C<br />
❉ Attacks moist leaf blades under high<br />
humidity<br />
❉ High levels of fertility<br />
❉ Lower than recommended mowing<br />
heights<br />
❉ Excessive thatch<br />
Symptoms<br />
There are 3 types of Fairy Ring.<br />
Type 1 Typically appear as a ring of<br />
dead or stressed turf, bordered on<br />
both inner and outer edges by a band<br />
of stimulated grass growth. New rings<br />
can appear just as green ‘patches’.<br />
Type 2 Stimulated grass growths are<br />
seen normally without fruiting bodies. It<br />
is rare that excessive damage is<br />
caused to the turf.<br />
Type 3 Have no distinct affect on turf<br />
except when the fruiting bodies are<br />
present, forming rings of mushrooms or<br />
puffballs.<br />
Conditions favouring development<br />
❉ High thatch levels in fine turf<br />
❉ Soil high in organic matter<br />
❉ Colonises thatch at the turf base<br />
❉ Starts with a germinating spores or a<br />
strand of mycelium<br />
❉ Rings of stimulated growth are the<br />
result of soil Nitrogen release<br />

NUTRITION DELIVERY TECHNOLOGY<br />
It’s not the time a fertilizer is applied<br />
that’s important it’s when the<br />
nutrition becomes available to the<br />
plant. A range of options is now<br />
available to maximise fertilizer<br />
performance in line with the nutrition<br />
demands of the plant.<br />
continuously reduces the solution concentration of the<br />
encapsulated urea. This decreasing concentration results in<br />
a declining osmotic pressure, which causes a continuous<br />
slowing (or declining) of the release rate. Generally, the<br />
time for release of the last half of urea will be about twice<br />
the time for release of the first half.<br />
After complete release of nutrients, the polymer coating<br />
microbially decomposes into naturally occurring soil<br />
elements.<br />

PolyPro Coating Technology<br />
Nutrient<br />
Within a week of<br />
application, the<br />
polymer coating<br />
allows soil<br />
moisture in,<br />
which activates<br />
encapsulated<br />
nutients but<br />
doesn’t release<br />
them.<br />
Over the next<br />
several months, the<br />
membrane slowly<br />
releases dissolved<br />
nutrients through<br />
diffusion, only when<br />
triggered by soil<br />
temperature.<br />
After complete<br />
release of nutrients,<br />
the polymer coating<br />
microbially<br />
decomposes into<br />
naturally occurring<br />
soil elements.<br />
Nitrogen is released gradually throughout the plant's growth<br />
cycle, resulting in precise, and predictable feeding of the<br />
rootzone that lasts for months. The key to this consistent,<br />
gradual nutrient release is the Reactive Layers Coating<br />
polymer membrane surounding each granule that is not<br />
affected by moisture. Nutrient release is only activated by<br />
temperature and not by microbial activity or excessive<br />
moisture.<br />
There are 3 phases in this release process:-<br />
1. Absorption Phase (first week). No immediate release<br />
occurs during this stage. Until water, which is absorbed into<br />
the polymer coating, reaches the encapsulated urea to<br />
initiate dissolution within, there can be no urea diffusion<br />
release.<br />
2. Steady-State Release Phase. Once release by diffusion<br />
begins, the release rate is constant or steady-state until all<br />
encapsulated urea is dissolved. During this stage there are<br />
both un-dissolved urea solids and urea solution at maximum<br />
concentration encapsulated by the polymer coating. This<br />
maximum solution concentration causes a constant osmotic<br />
pressure and a steady-state release rate. Complete<br />
dissolution of the encapsulated urea occurs when about<br />
50% of the urea has been released, since urea has a<br />
maximum solution concentration of 50% at ambient<br />
temperatures.<br />
3. Declining Release Phase. Once all encapsulated urea<br />
solids are dissolved and only urea solution remains,<br />
continued absorption of water and diffusion release of urea<br />

Polymer<br />
Urea<br />
New generation, polymer-coated, Sulphur-coated Urea<br />
(PCSCU) granular fertilizer for turf, is the only one with a<br />
polymer layer inside the protective surface coating. This<br />
provides a more durable and consistent granule unlike lesser<br />
PCSCUs that have a polymer or conditioner on the outside<br />
of the Sulphur.<br />
Rigby Taylors PCSCU's outer sulphur and wax layers work<br />
together to protect the inner polymer coating during the<br />
various stages of processing. The polymer layer surrounding<br />
the granule delivers a more consistent nutrient release when<br />
the plant needs it, with less surge growth, once the outer<br />

Sulphur and wax layers absorb<br />
water.<br />
It also has the highest Nitrogen<br />
content (43%) and lowest<br />
Sulphur content (4%) of any<br />
PCSCU on the market, which<br />
means you can treat more<br />
area with less product.<br />
Other PCSCUs do not deliver<br />
nutrients as evenly or as long,<br />
and often suffer from nutrient<br />
‘lock-off’ in which the Sulphur<br />
coating is too thick to allow<br />
Nitrogen to release in the<br />
expected time frame.<br />
Methylene Urea<br />
Extended N release in mini- and microgranular<br />
form<br />
Can be combined with other nutrients as<br />
homogenous granules<br />
The Methylene Urea also promotes strong root growth and a<br />
balanced, healthier top growth. It also improves the natural<br />
fertility of the soil increasing and sustaining the population of<br />
beneficial organisms because it is a source of organic<br />
Carbon and Nitrogen. The MU will provide a uniform,<br />
sustained release even during hot weather or heavy rain.<br />
The Methylene Urea also has a very low salt index, one of the<br />
lowest available, meaning a very low scorch potential.<br />
Methylene Urea is also contained in Microflow CXS liquid<br />
formulations.<br />
Premier HG, Microfine, Microlite and Delta SR contain MU<br />
plus a combination of other essential nutrients.<br />
The patented Methylene Urea used by Rigby Taylor, has<br />
short and medium length polymer chains that are specially<br />
designed to achieve the required results, and release<br />
pattern. The length of chain determines the longevity of<br />
release. Rigby Taylor uses chain lengths that will give 10-24<br />
weeks, depending on the product range.<br />
The specially designed polymer chains are made up of:-<br />
✱ Free Urea for rapidly available N<br />
✱ Cold water-soluble Nitrogen (CWSN) which gives<br />
available N over a few weeks<br />
✱ Hot water-soluble Nitrogen (HWSN), which releases the N<br />
over 8-16 weeks<br />
✱ Hot water-insoluble Nitrogen (HWIN), which releases the N<br />
over 16-24 weeks<br />
ZeoLite<br />
Provides a natural affinity with N & K in<br />
quality fertilizers<br />
Key addition to the rage of MicrolIte and Microlite Activ8<br />
formulations.<br />
Clinoptilolite (Zeolite) is a naturally occurring mineral<br />
incorporated in the MicroLite range. It has a natural affinity<br />
to Nitrogen and Potassium and these nutrients are absorbed<br />
into the Clinoptilolite grid and then released as and when<br />
demanded by the plant. Clinoptilolite will also hold up to<br />
55% of ots weight in moisture, which is again released as the<br />
plant demands.<br />

NUTRIENT AVAILABILITY & SELECTION<br />
In a turf management environment, nutrients added to the<br />
soil/plant are normally supplied in the form of fertilizer, either<br />
as dry applications such as powder or granules or spray<br />
applied as liquids or water-soluble formulations.<br />
Turf fertilizers are classified as those that are essential<br />
(macro) and applied regularly and those that are required<br />
and applied in lesser quantities (micro) but still important for<br />
healthy plant growth. However, all nutrients are important<br />
and it is not the quantity that is applied but their availability<br />
to the plant.<br />
Nutrient deficiency<br />
Turf quality is controlled not by the total amount of nutrients<br />
available to the plant, but by the nutrient in limited supply. A<br />
simple ‘law of the minimum’ is illustrated here by Liebigs<br />
Barrel.<br />
Just as the capacity of a barrel with staves of unequal<br />
length, is limited by the shortest stave (in this example<br />
Phosphate is the limiting factor), so a plant's growth is limited<br />
by the nutrient in shortest supply.<br />
Understanding how to recognize nutrient deficiencies will<br />
allow corrective action to be taken to lessen the effect and<br />
prevent a similar situation arising in the future.<br />
A range of factors influence the availability of nutrients.<br />
Some will be under your control, others will not.<br />

The majority of nutrients are taken up by the roots via the soil though some can also be absorbed through the leaf when<br />
applied as a foliar spray.There are other elements such as Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen can be both through the<br />
aerial parts of the plant and from soil moisture via the roots.<br />

Nutrient release timing of Nitrogen can be rapid or slow depending on the<br />
form used. The two forms are Nitrogen Ammonium (NH4+) and Nitrate (NH3-).<br />
Applying Nitrate Nitrogen will result in it being quickly taken up by the plant and<br />
producing rapid grass growth. It can however be an excellent tool where the<br />
plant needs a rapid boost and enhanced colour. Ammonium Nitrogen is also<br />
taken in by the plant but utilized less quickly, resulting in slower growth. It is also<br />
held longer in the soil, which reduces the risk of loss through rapid leaching.<br />
Nitrogen Uptake<br />
Nitrogen occurs in various forms, organic, ammoniacal and ureic. These have to<br />
go through various processes before they are available to the plant.<br />
Organic: Organic sources have to go through Mineralization. This process<br />
transforms the organic source into an inorganic source (ammonium).<br />
The first part of the process is Aminization, which is the decomposition of the<br />
organic N by bacteria and fungi, to produce Amino Nitrogen, which is then<br />
microbially converted in to ammonia.<br />
+Aminization<br />
+Ammonification<br />
Organic N = Amino Acids = Ammonium N<br />
Ammoniacal: Ammoniacal sources have to go through Nitrification, when the<br />
Ammonium is converted in to Nitrate.<br />
The first process involve Nitrosmonas (bacteria), which oxidize the Ammonia in to<br />
Nitrite. Nitrobacter (bacteria) then oxidize the Nitrite in to Nitrate. These reactions<br />
occur very closely to prevent a build up of Nitrite, as it is toxic to the plant.<br />
+Nitrosomonas + Nitrobacter<br />
Ammonium = Nitrite = Nitrate<br />
Ureic: Ureic nitrogen is hydrolized into ammonia (and carbon dioxide) by an<br />
enzyme called Urease.<br />
+Urease<br />
Urea<br />
= Ammonia<br />
All the above processes can be affected by moisture, temperature, microbial<br />
activity, pH and aeration.<br />

Applying Nutrients<br />
Getting fertilizer to where it is needed can be<br />
achieved in different ways; dry (granules/-<br />
powders) applied alone or from a spray<br />
(liquid/water soluble).<br />
In the main however, there is no hard and fast<br />
rule as to what is best. The application<br />
selection method will often depend on<br />
practicalities, climatic conditions and personal<br />
preference. In many cases it will be that ‘one<br />
size does not fit all’ and a combination of<br />
application methods will be selected.<br />
The most successful fertilizer programme will be<br />
one that provides a consistent supply of plant<br />
nutrients when demanded, without causing a<br />
surge (flush) of vegetative growth or cause a<br />
‘lock up’ of other nutrients availability.<br />
The Rigby Taylor range offers the widest choice<br />
of fertilizer options.<br />
Controlled release – Microlite, PolyPro,<br />
ConVert, Premier HG, Microfine, Microflow<br />
Conventional release – MicroLite Activ8,<br />
TE-Bag, Fine Turf, Outfield<br />
Organic/Organic content – Microfine Organic,<br />
Apex, Delta<br />
Liquid – MicroFlow<br />
Water soluble – Microsol<br />
Which to apply and why?<br />
Different fertilizers have different modes of action and it<br />
is important to understand some of the key factors that<br />
influence the selection making process.<br />
Where a quick response is required, a fertilizer with the<br />
ability to allow rapid availability of nutrients to the plant<br />
will be a key factor in the selection making process.<br />
There are products, including liquids, water-solubles<br />
and conventional dry formulations, that will provide a<br />
rapid growth response in the turf plant and enhanced<br />
colour. The downsides to applying such products are<br />
two fold.<br />
1. Excessive nutrient loss through the leaves could<br />
quickly occur as, due to the creation of increased<br />
vegetative growth, mowing regimes may be increased<br />
leading to increased clipping removal, and<br />
2. Rapid leaching of nutrients, surface run-off,<br />
volatilization<br />
Slow release, controlled/phased release and organic<br />
based fertilizers release their nutrients over a period of<br />
time (up to 24 weeks) and offer a consistent and<br />
reliable delivery of nutrients. Such control over the<br />
nutrient release will minimize nutrient loss and maximize<br />
nutrient efficiency.<br />

pH INFLUENCE ON NUTRIENT AVAILABILITY<br />
The letters pH stand for ‘Potential Hydrogen’ and represents<br />
the measure of Hydrogen ions in the soil.<br />
The availability of soil nutrients is affected to a greater or lesser degree by the pH of the soil. The chart<br />
below indicates the effect that levels of pH can have on the availability of nutrients to the plant.<br />
Using the chart, in conjunction with the results of soil analysis, can be used in deciding the fertilizer<br />

SPREADER CALIBRATION<br />
If there is just one operation that, with a little<br />
time spent, can increase the efficiency and<br />
effectiveness of fertilizer application, it is the<br />
practice of calibration. There are three main<br />
reasons why regular calibration of your<br />
spreader should take place:<br />
1. Economic<br />
The wasteful application of<br />
granular fertilizer, pesticides,<br />
wetting agents and seed is both<br />
costly in terms of product used<br />
and also the potential expense<br />
of rectification due to damage<br />
caused. Inaccurate application can also lead to<br />
unsightly striping on the turf or the overstimulation of the<br />
grass leading to the development of excessive, soft<br />
growth that may be more prone to disease attack.<br />
2. Environment<br />
Over use of materials can cause<br />
pollution of water courses due to<br />
leaching or run-off. They may also<br />
be harmful to beneficial organisms.<br />
Responsible application is important<br />
to ensure that the products applied<br />
do not impact negatively upon the environment.<br />
3. Compliance<br />
Increasing legislation means that a<br />
greater accountability is being placed<br />
upon operators applying fertilizers and<br />
pesticides. Already new measures are<br />
being taken in respect of sprayer<br />
testing and similar requirements may<br />
well be introduced in time for<br />
spreaders.<br />
Spreaders - The Basics<br />
A clean machine is vital to ensure accuracy and<br />
application efficiency. After every operation the spreader<br />
should be thoroughly cleaned, dried and, where<br />
appropriate, grease applied. Fertilizer absorbs air moisture<br />
and any material left in the machine may well form<br />
clumps that will impact on the workings of the machine<br />
and corrode metal parts.<br />
The machine should be inspected on a regular basis to<br />
ensure all parts are working as intended. Often the<br />
adjustment of the lever mechanism on a rotary machine<br />
will need checking to ensure there isn’t any slack that may<br />
affect the opening and shutting of the tray holes.<br />
Regardless of the spreader type or model used, each<br />
individual spreader is slightly different. It is important<br />
therefore to calibrate each one separately, even though<br />
it may appear identical to another spreader. Also,<br />
calibration should be undertaken for each granular<br />
product used because products vary in density, size,<br />
active ingredient and nutrient content.<br />
Calibration can be carried out by specialist independent<br />
companies or done equally well ‘in-house’. Most quality<br />
spreaders are supplied with detailed advice. Calibration is<br />
not ‘one of the dark arts’ but a simple practical test that<br />
just requires a little preparation and simple calculations.<br />
Your Rigby Taylor will be able to provide advice.<br />
The table below shows the range of swath widths that can<br />
be achieved and the flexibility that can be achieved<br />
using the interchangeable trays that can be fitted to the<br />
OptiM8 spreader range.<br />
In addition manufacturers of quality fertilizers will provide a<br />
guide to the appropriate settings applicable to their<br />
fertilizer granule sizes and formulations. See table opposite.<br />
Application rates will vary depending on the product<br />
being applied and the walking speed of the individual<br />
operator.<br />

NOZZLES<br />
WHY AIR BUBBLE JETS<br />
❱ Maximum spray contact, minimum spray drift – reduces spray drift by 75%*<br />
❱ Produces superior coverage – more consistent droplet size<br />
❱ Less affected by wind – provides more spraying day opportunities<br />
❱ Offers wide range of sizes – provides flexible application rates<br />
❱ Less than 2% driftable droplets (100 microns) – compared to 20% conventional nozzles<br />
❱ Fits any standard nozzle holders – easy to fit, clean and remove<br />
❱ Used in a wide range of situations – excellent at low water rates<br />
The most cost-effective<br />
investment in reducing drift<br />
and waste, Air Bubble Jets<br />
are the nozzle preference for<br />
golf course greenkeepers,<br />
groundsmen and landscapers<br />
❱ Top ✰✰✰ LERAP award allows category B chemicals to be sprayed within one metre<br />
of a water course<br />
The BFS Air Bubble Jet has a 15-year proven record and is the number<br />
one low drift nozzle used by UK farmers and growers.<br />
How do they work?<br />
Air Bubble Jets are specially designed spray nozzles (tips) that produce<br />
a narrow range of spray droplets containing air bubbles that are<br />
designed to minimize spray drift and optimize product efficacy.<br />
Why use them?<br />
Spray drift is a serious economic, environmental and safety problem.<br />
Using BFS Air Bubble Jets, the spray, containing a mixture of air and<br />
liquid, reduces spray drift and ensures more even leaf coverage to<br />
achieve enhanced chemical efficacy.<br />
How are they used?<br />
Simply fitted to a standard nozzle body on the boom of any sprayer<br />
the optimum operating pressure is between 2-4.5 bar with an overall<br />
range of 1.5-6 bar.<br />
What jets are available?<br />
The full range includes: 01; 0.15; 0.2; 0.25; 0.3; 0.35; 0.4; 0.5; 0.6 and 0.8.<br />
All the jets are ISO colour coded so if a conventional yellow 02 nozzle is<br />
currently used, just substitute it with a yellow 02 Air Bubble Jet.<br />
Who make Air Bubble Jets?<br />
Air Bubble Jets are the invention of Billericay Farm Services, a leading<br />
company in spray technology. They are designed and manufactured<br />
in the United Kingdom and are exclusively marketed by Rigby Taylor to<br />
the UK Amenity industry.<br />
Inside the<br />
Air Bubble Jet<br />
A mixture of air and liquid is<br />
drawn in and compressed and<br />
then sprayed out through<br />
specially designed fan jets. The<br />
droplets that are produced<br />
contain air bubbles which<br />
collapse on contact with the<br />
grass blade and spread evenly<br />
across the surface. The liquid<br />
being sprayed passes through a<br />
removable tapered nozzle A<br />
which accelerates the liquid and<br />
projects the flow into the tapered<br />
opening of the venturi B. This<br />
creates a vacuum that causes<br />
air to be sucked in through the<br />
slots marked C.<br />
The mixture of air and liquid is<br />
compressed as it passes through<br />
the mixing chamber D and is<br />
then sprayed through the fan<br />
nozzle E.<br />

To select the correct nozzle for the intended operation use the simple steps below:<br />
1. Read the label - This will provide information on rates of use/water volume and any application restrictions<br />
2. Select the required water volume rate, i.e. litres per hectare (l/ha)<br />
3. Select the chosen speed (kph)<br />
4. Identify the nearest nozzle to the water volume required and this will show the required pressure (bar)’<br />
For example:<br />
Water volume require rate = 400 l/ha<br />
Speed selected = 6 kph<br />
Nearest nozzle match = Brown @ 3 bar pressure<br />
ALWAYS fit the correct nozzle for the job required. Using the wrong nozzle may not only provide inferior coverage and<br />
control but will certainly be a costly waste of material.<br />

“<br />
We have had great success with R14 seed.<br />
It is extremely hardwearing, has good colour,<br />
recovers well and provides excellent leaf density.<br />
Our lines are marked out with Impact XP paint. It<br />
provides very bright white lines that last even after<br />
periods of heavy rainfall. Also the paint does not<br />
‘shadow’ and produces a very professional finish.<br />
We gain excellent control of leaf spot and fusarium<br />
by ringing the changes using Rayzor, Eland and Fusion<br />
fungicides.<br />
