Liquid fertilisers are commonly formulated to assist in seasonal transition or to promote a quick boost in colour, with others aimed at reducing heat stress or enhancing plant and soil health.
Exceed Foliar Fertiliser – Seasonal Transition & Foliar Nutrient
Foliar fertilisers in liquid form are products that are absorbed by the leaf of the grass when applied. These types of fertilisers are ideal for correcting nutrient deficiencies quickly. They will also address stress-related issues or for a general boost to overall health.
Exceed Liquid Fertiliser is a premium, professional-grade foliar fertiliser. Liquid fertilisers like Exceed will provide a much quicker response from your grass than a granular fertiliser. The key nutrients like Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium are almost immediately available when absorbed through the roots or leaves rather than through the soil.
Granular fertilisers are still very important for seasonal application particularly in spring and autumn. But a liquid like Exceed is great when a boost is required during seasonal transition, before a renovation or when a quick improvement is required for the health of your lawn.
Lawn Kelper – Condition Soil and Boost Health
Seaweed or kelp is a very popular form of organic fertiliser and soil conditioner. It can play an important role in your lawn care routine, particularly during the warmer months.
Lawn Kelper is a liquid nutrient package with trace minerals like manganese and zinc. It is designed specifically for lawns to increase turf vigour, stimulate leaf growth, and to strengthen roots.
Your soil’s health plays a significant role in the success of your lawn. Incorporating soil conditioners like Kelp into your lawn care routine will go a long way to enriching your soil.
Iron Guard – Aid in plant strength & Colour retention
Lawns need iron because it plays a crucial role in the process of photosynthesis. Iron is a micronutrient that aids in the production of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is green pigment in plants responsible for absorbing sunlight and converting it into energy. Without sufficient iron, lawns can develop chlorosis, a condition where leaves turn yellow.
Iron Guard Plus is a turfgrass-enhancing bio-stimulant that contains iron and amino acids. It will help maximise turfgrass colour retention and promote lateral growth, making it ideal for improved winter dormancy transition.
If you are looking to use it for the first time or if you want to use it regularly as part of a lawn care program, it’s best to apply at a lower rate.
When applying liquid fertilisers, like all products, it is best to ensure you read the label instructions and apply as per the specific application rates provided. By doing so, you will ensure the product and your lawn perform to their full potential.
