Golf Ventures adds Florikan Line of Controlled Release Fertilizers
Filed under News on Monday, February 08, 2010 by Author: Debbie Nipper.

Golf Ventures is proud to announce the addition of the Florikan Product Line of Controlled Release Fertilizers.  Florikote was created in 2003 with support from NASA through its Space Alliance Technology Outreach Program.
 
Florikote is teh first controlled release fertilizer to encapsulate jagged edge particles and SGN 50 water soluble crystalline material.
 
How it works
  • A patented dual reactive layer polymer coating process that controls nutrient release over a range of 3-6 months in turf grade materials.
  • Works through reverse osmosis - activated by moisture and the rate of release is only impacted by soil temperature.
  • A smooth exterior coating with no breaks or fissures to ensure a predictable release.
  • Benchmarked to 77 degrees F average soil temperatures - maintains integrity even in climates of extreme heat and rainfall.
  • Coating thickness determines longevity up to 6 months in turf grade materials.
Florikote offers the broadest range of controlled release nutrients available to a turfgrass manager including 3 forms of Potash, Magnesium, minors, and homogenous Miconutrients.  Why are controlled release Potassium and Micronutrients important to a turfgrass manager?
 
  • Micronutrients are most available to turf in a sulfated form.  Unfortunately sulfate forms of minors that are not controlled release are also very leachable in sandy and coastal soils.  Florikote minors are all available only in sulfate form providing for the most efficient uptake to turf grass on the market.
  • Potassium on sandy soils is also extremely leachable and controlling the release of this nutrient greatly enhances the efficient of a Potassium fertilizer.
  • Potassium has been shown to make turfgrass more resistant to many stresses including wear injury, drought and cold/frost damage.
  • Potassium, Magnesium, and Iron have been shown to promote earlier spring greenup of grass.
  • Potassium fertilizers aids in carbohydrate retention by turf which supports regrowth after injury.
Florikan's commitment to environmental sustainability has been recognized by prestigious organizations for our innovative fertilizer coating and blending technologies.
