More about Lebanon Turf’s Patented Technologies (Look out for the logo next to the fertiliser)

Lebanon Turf, a worldwide market leader in the manufacture anddevelopment of turf fertiliser. Lebanon Turf products incorporate the verylatest in patented nutrient release technology and granule formulation.Proven in their home market in the US, we are delighted to offer Lebanon’sbest ever products to ALS customers for 2011.

Whether you are applying to golf greens, sports pitches, lawns, landscapes orgeneral amenity turf the Lebanon range offers uncompromising quality and topperformance to suit the budget of today’s turf managers.

Key Benefits

• MESA ‘hoof proof’ controlled release nitrogen in patented single particleform, even if the granule is broken MESA release technology ensuresconsistent and controlled release of Nitrogen where coated slow releaseproducts can fail.

• Ultra-low application rates and high longevity offer cost savings and amore environmentally friendly approach to turf management.

• Achieve extended potassium release and outstanding longevity usingLebanon’s patented EXPO particle. But MESA® Does! ½ a piece of MESA® is still MESA®

Composite Technology™ is apatented breakthrough in thefertiliser manufacturing processthat produces a superior fertiliser.We start with premium forms ofnitrogen and fuse them withphosphorus, potassium, andmicro nutrients to create acompletely revolutionary,homogeneous granule. The resultis a granule with better particledispersion, better integrity, and ahigher measurable amount ofnitrogen activity.

IBDU® has the highest amount ofavailable WIN, this water-insoluble-nitrogen sourceprovides controlled release,without leaching or surgegrowth. Nitrogen availability thatis not dependent upon soiltemperatures or microbial activityresults in an extremely versatileand long lasting feeding.Experience a more evenly fedand consistent stand of turf whilereducing the number ofapplications. (Typical nitrogenrelease: 12-16 weeks)

Meth-EX 40® is the mostefficient, high activity methyleneurea complex available today.Meth-Ex 40® is nitrogen sourcethat provides extended microbialrelease without the need forcoatings. Microbial release,dependent upon soil moistureand soil temperature, allowsnitrogen to be released when theturf needs it most. The result iscolour response often the sameday of application, minimal surgegrowth and maximum long-termresponse. (Typical nitrogenrelease: 8-10 weeks)

MESA® is the first nitrogen sourceto combine ammonium sulphatewith methylene urea in a singleparticle. The result is an effectiveand efficiently controlled nitrogensource. MESA® provides aconsistent, brilliant colour. UnlikeSCU, MESA® does not rely oncoating or lose its slow releaseattributes when cracked. WithMESA®, even if cracked, thegranule still maintains its slowrelease properties. That's whyhalf a piece of MESA® is stillMESA®! (Typical nitrogen release:6-9 weeks)

EXPO™ has been designed toextend the benefits of potassium.Expo™ is a unique, patented,single-particle made bycombining methylene urea andpotassium sulphate. It goesbeyond standard potassiumsulphate found in most fertiliser;Expo™ was specifically designedto deliver a more efficient, cost-effective, controlled releasesource of potash. It is onlyavailable in Lebanon TurfProducts. (Typical nitrogenrelease 10-14 weeks; typicalpotassium release: 6-8 weeks)

Scotts Greenmaster Pro-Lite 25kgPro-Lite is the Scotts registered trade name for a new type of ‘micro’fertiliser granule technology that contains zeolite in a homogenous form.Zeolite’s molecular structure is a 3D cage-like framework of silica andalumina molecules. Due to the spaces and channels in each molecule itacts as a microscopic sponge. Excess oxygen is held in the framework andcreates a negative charge that holds cations and water molecules untilneeded by the plant. As a result zeolite gives improved longevity,dispersion and a more homogenous granule.• Quick turf reaction• Pro-Lite/zeolite technology enhances longevity• Fine granule for quick dispersal

Scotts Sportsmaster 25kgMany fertilisers in the Scotts range contain controlled release elementsproviding nitrogen over an extended period. There are circumstances,however, when the turf manager may not need all the benefits theseparticular products can give.

Scotts Sierrablen 25kgThe Sierrablen range features Scotts unique resin and/or Poly-S coatedfertiliser granules which rely on soil temperature as their main mechanismof release.On application to turf, the granule takes up moisture from it environmentgradually dissolving the enclosed nutrients. At soil temperatures justabove 0 degrees centigrade, pressure starts to build up within the granuleforcing the nutrients through the semipermeable resign coating.

Scotts Sierrablen Plus 25kgSierrablen Plus features Poly-S coated fertilisergranules, which rely on a dual coated ureagranule to regulate the release of nutrients.By using a combination of primary sulphur coatingfollowed by an exclusive outer polymer coating,the release of nutrients takes place according tosoil temperature and moisture surrounding thegranule.

STRAIGHT FERTILISERSSulphate of Iron 25kgSulphate of Iron can be used to reduce the alkalinity of soils, helping make available the naturalelements and nutrients essential to the healthy cultivation of plants which thrive in acid conditions.All calcifuge (lime hating plants) such as azaleas, rhododendrons, magnolias, conifers, as well asmany ericas and alpines can benefit from regular top dressing with Sulphate of Iron.

Sulphate of Ammonia 25kgSulphate of Ammonia is sometimes known as ammonium sulphate. Ammonium sulphate is aninorganic compound used as a fertiliser to supply nitrogen to plants. It is made by a commercialprocess that causes ammonia to react with sulphuric acid. When added to water it becomes solubleand thus is readily taken up by the plants, with effects being noticed in under 10 days. Since it ishighly soluble in water it also means that it leeches from the soil easily, thus requiring regularapplications.

Sulphate of Potash 25kgSulphate of Potash is a quick acting fertiliser to boost flowering and ripening of fruit. The fast actingfertiliser which provides the essential nutrient potassium. Provides greater strength and vigour inplants leading to improved resistance to weather and disease. Sulphate of Potash promotes thedevelopment and colour of flowers, resulting in high quality blooms and more abundant fruit yields.It is particularly beneficial to tomatoes.

Superphosphate 25kgSuperphosphate encourages strong root growth and healthy plants. Fruit, root and seed crops willproduce higher yields and ripening will be improved. Superphosphate is one of the keys to successwhen planting out seedlings, rooted cuttings and transplants.

Fish, Blood and Bone Meal 25kgFish, Blood & Bone contains the three major nutrients for strong and healthyplant growth. The nitrogen in Fish, Blood & Bone encourages strong growth andhealthy rich green foliage, whilst the slow steady release of phosphate promotesvigorous root growth. The added potash promotes flower colour and improvesripening of fruit and vegetables.

Bone Meal 25kgSterilised Bone Meal is a slow release organic fertiliser to encourageroot development. It provides both phosphates and nitrogen, twoelements essential for healthy plant growth. This slow, steadyrelease of nutrients over a long period make Bone meal an idealfertiliser for bulbs and herbaceous plants, shrubs, roses, fruit treesand strawberries.

Dried Blood 25kgDried Blood is a fast acting organic fertiliser, rich in nitrogen, whichpromotes above ground growth and healthy foliage. Especiallybeneficial when growing leaf crops such as lettuce, spinach and cabbage. Dried Blood also makesan excellent top dressing for foliage plants in the greenhouse and conservatory.

Hoof & Horn 25kgHoof & Horn is a high nitrogen feed for plants that produce large amounts of leaf, especiallyvegetables and corn. Nitrogen is needed to make leaf protein, so plants that make large amounts ofgreen leaf can benefit from top dressings of Hoof and Horn. Examples include brassicas such ascabbage and kale, as well as lettuce, courgettes, and rhubarb. High quality leaves are alsoimportant for corn/maize to produce good crop yields.

Urea 46% 25kgUrea supplies more nitrogen per ton of product than any other dry fertiliser. It contains 46%nitrogen; this means that each ton of urea supplies 920lbs of nitrogen. For comparison, a ton ofammonium sulphate supplies only 420lbs of nitrogen and a ton of ammonium nitrate supplies only670lbs of nitrogen. The higher nitrogen content means lower transportation and application costsper pound of nitrogen

iSEED®: FEEDS THE SEEDS! NOT THE WEEDS• Improved overseeding results, guaranteed! (30% more plants,

30% longer roots)• Targeted nutrient application (Feeding the

seed, not the weeds)• Better wear tolerance• Reduced Poa annua levels• Environmentally friendly (reduced losses of

fertiliser to the environment)• Labour saving and cost effective

Feed per seediSeed® is a nutrient seed coating that consists of seeds andcoating materials. The coating consists of a combination of fastacting and slow release fertilisers. Per 100kgs of bare seeds,20kg N and 4kg P are applied to a field. This means that in thecase of Agrostis where we are sowing at low seeding rates andall the problems that entails, we now have a ready made solutionfor sowing at easier rates. As the fertiliser is coated onto theseeds, the germinating and developing seedling receives thebenefit, not the surrounding plants. This is particularly importantwhen overseeding into a competitive sward. The nitrogen andphosphate in iSeed® are up to four times more efficientcompared to broadcast applied ordinary fertilisers. Effectively theamounts applied in the above example would then become80kgs of N and 16kgs of P per hectare.

Johnsons Sports SeedAll Johnsons mixes are both TurfGuard and Growmax treated.TurfGuard - Increased germination and establishmentTurfGuard is a specific strain of the soil bacteria Bacillus subtilis,which is commonly found in the soil, on roots and on leaves.Applied to grass seed its spores germinate and rapidly colonisethe root system of the new plant. This provides a barrier to soilpathogens while producing beneficial growth hormones thatassist the grass plant in numerous ways.GroMax - Turf Grass Seed TreatmentGroMax is a unique and effective new seed treatment whichstimulates the soil's micro-flora, resulting in improved rootgrowth and turf establishment, stress tolerance, and enhancedwater and nutrient uptake in grasses.

Nemasys Chafer Grub Killer Apply Nemasys Chafer Grub Killerto moist lawns from August to earlyOctober. This is when the younggrub larvae are active and thetemperature is above 12ºC (54ºF).The nematodes (Heterorhabditismegidis) seek out the chafer grubsand attack the pest by enteringnatural body openings. Once inside,they release bacteria that stops thepest from feeding, quickly killing the pest. They do not stopthere. The nematodes reproduce inside the dead pest andrelease a new generation of hungry infective nematodes, whichdisperse and search for further prey. Nemasys Chafer Grub Killermust be used within 3-4 weeks of being received.Do not apply Nemasys Chafer Grub killer too late, since thegrubs start to move down deeper in the soil and become inactiveuntil the following spring. However, as this move downwards istemperature dependent, in some years it may still be alright toapply later.As long as the grubs are near the surface and the soiltemperature is above 12ºC (54ºF) nematodes can still beapplied.Pack Sizes: 100m2 or 500m2

MOSS CONTROLNemasys Leatherjacket Killer Apply when the young leatherjackets are active in thesoil, this is typically late August through tothe end of October. When you start tosee the adult daddy-long-legs (towardsthe end of August) you will know that ina few days they will be laying eggs.These will hatch quickly, therefore, aim toapply about a week to two weeks afteryou see the adults. The nematodes(Steinernema feltiae), seek out theleatherjackets and attack the pest byentering natural body openings. Once inside, they releasebacteria that stops the pest from feeding, quickly killing the pest.They do not stop there. The nematodes reproduce inside thedead pest and release a new generation of hungry infectivenematodes, which disperse and search for further prey.Apply to moist turf when the soil temperature is above 12ºC(54ºF) and water them in well. The nematode needs to bewashed well in so that they reach the roots where theleatherjackets will be. Make sure the turf does not dry out afterapplying nematodes.Pack Sizes: 100m2 or 500m2

OL Pro Crystal 4.09kg

ProCrystal® controls swimming orfloating unicellular and filamentousalgae found in ponds, lakes and allstagnant expanses of water favouringtheir development. These algae developand proliferate in nutrient rich watersand are the main cause of oxygendepletion of the water following theirdecay. Apart from the aestheticunpleasantness caused, they create aphysical obstacle to activities such asirrigation, water sports, fishing and fishfarms. ProCrystal® is a plant-based inert powder inoculated by 6strains of class 1 bacteria (over 6 x 10° bacteria per single-dosesachet). It very quickly consumes and degrades the excessnitrogen (nitrates and ammoniacal nitrogen) and phosphates thatalgae feed on to develop.The algae die swiftly after treatment by being deprived of thenourishment essential to their development. Many testsconducted on infested bodies of water show the rapid reductionin nitrite, nitrate and phosphate concentrations in water treatedwith ProCrystal.How to UseProCrystal® is used by distributing the unopened sachetsuniformly on the surface of the water. It may be applied from theriverside or from a boat. The sachets should be thrown directlyonto the surface of the water requiring treatment. The dosagevaries according to the depth of the water and applicationtiming:

Excalibar 25L - Barley Straw ExtractExcalibar is an established, environment-friendly extract of barley straw preparationto fight and control algae.• Not a herbicide. It comes as an easily-

applied solution, and is harmless to fishand other animals

• Produced under carefully controlledconditions, and is batch-tested toMAINTAIN CONSISTENTCONCENTRATIONS OF ANTIALGAECOMPOUNDS

• 100% active from the moment it is poured into the water, andblocks further growth of the algae present. Because it does notdirectly kill the algae, Excalibar should ideally be used as apreventive tool, and added in the spring, before the algaebegin to grow strongly. It can still be used under algal bloomconditions, but may take some weeks to bring the bloomunder control, as the algal cells expire. Suspended algae(green and blue-green species) succumb to Excalibar morequickly than filamentous types

Application Rates: When used as a preventative - 5l per acrefor weeks 1 & 2 and then week 3 onwards 1l per acre per week.EXCALIBAR IS A REGISTERED TRADEMARK OF SPIREX AQUATEC

Primo Maxx 0.5L/5LTrinexapac-ethyl is the active ingredient in Primo MAXX thatworks by redirecting plant growth. It specifically targets thegibberellic acid site responsible for cell elongation in grass. Not only does Primo MAXX inhibit vertical growth, but actuallydiverts plant growth downward into the root system to produceincreased food reserves and lateral stem development. This inturn produces a thicker, healthier sward that better equips yourturf to withstand temperature extremes, moisture loss, traffic andwear and tear, and even helps in the management of poaannua.

T400 Portable Travelling SprinklerThe Tracker™ T-400 offers a very economical solution forsupplementing seasonal watering needs of ¼ acre (1000m2) to 2acre (8000m2) areas. It is also ideal for irrigating athletic fields,cemeteries, or other large campuses where an undergroundsystem is impractical.Built to last, with precision German engineering and high qualitymaterials, this portable powerhouse can irrigate an entirefootball field in just two passes. Tracker™ T-400 requires minimallabour to operate. Powered by water, it pulls itself along a nyloncable and automatically shuts down when it reaches the end ofit. Simply connect Tracker™ to a 1” (25mm) reinforced heavyduty hose (which can be connected to a water supply at the endor sides of the field). Unroll the cable and anchor it to a stake atthe opposite end of your field. Then set the speed control (whichcontrols the application rate of the water) and turn on the water.Requires minimum of 6 BAR water pressure at hose.Features• Adjustable speed control• 360ft (110m) nylon cable• Provides maximum irrigated length of 400ft (121m)• Galvanised anchor stake• Water turbine drive and gear box• Standard full or part circle sprinkler 8-15 GPM (30-56l/min)Specifications• Weight: 80lbs (36kg) +10lbs (4.5kg) for shipping materials• Size: Length 33” (833mm), Width 22” (559mm), Height 22”

(559mm)• Materials: Aluminium, Brass, ABSOptions• 1” x 100ft heavy-duty reinforced hose• 1” brass quick coupling valves, keys• Larger sprinklers (requires larger hose/more pressure)

Watering GuideThe area which can be irrigated by the Tracker™ depends on theweather (temperature and supplemental rainfall) and the timeavailable for watering. Well-fertilised, healthy grass requiresapproximately 0.35” (9mm) of water daily during the hottest timeof the year, and about half of that during the cooler seasons.Two sprinkler nozzles, #6 (8.8 GPM) and #7 (15 GPM) aresupplied with the Tracker™ to accommodate varying wateringrequirements.The Tracker™ can drag up to 360ft (110m) of hose allowing amaximum irrigated length of 400ft (122m). The width of a travellane is typically 70 to 85 feet (21 to 25m). As a guideline, the Tracker™ will water about 2/3 acre (2,760m2)in 8 hours. Water Source: The Tracker™ requires at least 9 GPM (34l/min)at 50 psi (3.3 bars), which is typically available from 1” (25mm)or larger pipeline. Larger areas may require up to 15 GPM(57l/min) at 85 psi (5.4 bars). The watering guide chart included with each Tracker™ T-400contains additional information.

Soil Compaction Tester/Penetrometer Compaction causes serious problems on manysoils and can be a serious problem for turfmanagers. Compacted soils result in poor rootand plant development. Compacted soil isdense; rooting may be adversely affected.Mega Pascal scale on as standard.Compaction severely restricts the manner in which soilnaturally manages water; both by holding water nearthe surface of the field - and by limiting the abilityof plants to take up water and nutrients frombelow. Excess surface water makes fieldsdifficult to work in the spring and fall.A compacted zone means that fertilisers, pesticides andherbicides you apply cannot be utilised efficiently. If theyare not absorbed, they can be wasted away easily.

Prism GaugeKeeping a smooth, even surface on turfhas never been so easy to see!Looking for a way to ensure that all yourcutting units operate at the same heightof cut and leave smooth, clean edges?The prism gauge allows turf managers toview the cut and condition of their turf after being mown. Observe the blade tips, determine height of cut and guaranteeconsistency all with the prism gauge. Easy to view ruler make thisthe easiest tool to see what is really happening with their turf.
