• Improves the uptake of many nutrients including phosphorous, potassium, zinc, iron, calcium and more
Technology
NZLA DEFENCE delivers the most bioavailable form of silica, mono silicic acid, and is now classified as a bio-stimulant rather than a traditional turf fertiliser. Given the deficiency of plant-available silicon in turf soils lacking clay, incorporating mono silicic acid in NZLA DEFENCE becomes essential. Silica has a range of benefits for turf but its major advantage lies in its ability to strengthen the cell walls of the leaf and sheath. This makes the plant stronger against traffic and common stresses, and promotes good healthy upright leaf growth.
Foliar Application
The general rates for NZLA DEFENCE is 100-200 mL/100m2 in 2-5 L of spray mix.
Mixing & Application
NZLA DEFENCE is recommended for pre-conditioning turf before heavy use or during high-stress situations to enhance the turf’s resistance against wear and infection. Programmed applications in sand profiles will aid in retaining soil nutrients near the plant roots.
