Grass managment in spring

DCM TURF-MIX NK 18-8 + 0,08 % Fe

o Ammoniacal + ureic nitrogen → fast-acting, stimulate (re-)growth in spring, immediately after spreading

o Organic raw materials → each with a unique NPK composition and gradual release provide a continuous and

uniform plant nutrition over a period of 75-100 days

o Mineral nitrogen from methylene-urea (urea-formaldehyde*) → prolongs action up to 120 - 150 days!

*urea-formaldehyde is gradually released by the microbal soil life

→ Excellent results with only 1 or 2 applications per growing season

Application time/rate:

Early spring application: 150kg/ha

During vegetation in spring/autumn: 200-

300kg/ha

DCM Liquid Green Liquid fertilizer with 25 % N + 0,3 % Fe + wetting agent

Grass managment in spring

o Quick greening response thanks to the synergetic action of nitrogen and iron

o Ideal growth and green stimulant for (weakened) lawns, sports turfs and golf

courses

o Extended action thanks to the meticulous choice of N-sources (urea + urea

formaldehyde nitrogen)

o Fertilization with Intro® effect (2 in 1) → efficient fertilization and optimal water

managment in just one step!

faster and more uniform water penetration with better distribution across the soil

profile

Application time/rate:

1 – 1,5 L /10 L water/100 m²Always sprinkle afterwards with 2 – 3 L water/m²

Lower the dosage in case sprinkler irrigation is not possible → 0,5 – 0,75 L /10

L water/100 m²

Active at cold temperatures and/or higher

pH values in the soil !!

Aeration (Core/Tins)

DCM VIVISOL® MINIGRAN®Organic soil improver with MINIGRAN® technology

85 % Dry matter

60 % Organic matter

With Bacillus amyloliquefaciens

For soils presenting a poor soil structer, low soilferility and microbiological activity, compactedsoils, fields exposed to intensive treading…

Application: 1000 – 1500 kg/ha

Aeration (Core/Tins)Aeration (Core/Tins) - As much as possible in

season

• 2-3 days before aeration → foliar application of:

• Basfoliar 36 extra 15l/ha + Avant natur 5l/ha in 400-800 L

water/ha

• Make holes

• Collect the corks

• Spread DCM Antagon 500 kg/ha + DCM Vivisol 500 kg/ha

• Spread the sand

• Brush it in the soil

• Irrigate (roll, if neccessary)

• After 3-5 days after spray:

• Nativo (Trifloksistrobin 25 % + Tebukonazol 50 %) 0,6kg/ha

+ DCM Liquid Green 80 L/ha in 600-800 L water/ha

Grass managment in autumn/winterTo achieve sucess and implement all that we heard today

we need to:

• Trust in ourselves

• Make a soil analysis + know how to interpret it

• Know how to determine plant pathogens

• Know how fungicides work

• pH of water – alcaline hydrolise

• Application equipment (Nozzles)

Thank you for the trust you have placed in us!

Making important steps together!
