Fertiliser Purpose

There can be many reasons for applying a fertiliser to a turfgrass surface, but the main reasons for this can include:
• Maintaining and encourage a healthy sward.
• Producing a hard wearing and resilient surface.
• Aiding speed of recovery from wear.
• Reducing susceptibility to disease attack.
• Creating a relatively dense sward which makes it more difficult for weeds to invade and colonise.
• Provide a uniform and pleasing visual appearance.
• Provide for a steady development of the grass plant, rather than a flush of lush growth if too much is applied at any one time.
