Review and take soil, foliage and root samples for testing

A review into a range of new fertilisers focused on increasing soil microbial activity has begun at the Murray Bridge Golf Course (start date 3 Sept 2014).

Many golf course greens are subject root and foliage diseases, as a result, poor root systems reduce uptake of nutrients requiring expensive remedial treatments.

The aim of this trial is to strengthen root systems, reduce chemical applications and save money in the long run.

5 different fertilisers types are being trailed, some specially formulated for golf courses,
developed in Germany and Asia.

Prior to the trial soil tests and root samples have been taken and analysed.

Under trial are

Universal Garden Fertiliser 5:3:5 + Sulphur
Seed-O-Gran Golf Plus Fertiliser 8:3:5 + Sulphur (Fine Particles)
Humates
Nutra-smart
Seed-O-Gran Plus Turf Fertiliser 8:3:6 + Sulphur

Full range and early results are expected to be posted over the next 4 months.
