FAQ for Professional Turf/Lawn
Care:
1. What product should I use on my lawn or turf?
Typically, high nitrogen products during the spring and summer for maximum
growth (nitrogen being the first number in our analysis
e.q.…25-5-20) and high potassium in the fall to winterize your
lawn (potassium being the third number in the analysis
e.q.…3-15-27).
2. What micronutrients are important for my lawn or turf?
All micronutrients are important for turf and lawns, but the one used most
often is Iron. It is used for color enhancement, manganese is
important for nitrogen utilization.
3. How much fertilizer should I use for my lawn or turf?
The rate of fertilizer is determined by the objectives you want to
accomplish. If you want a lot of growth, use a little more than the suggested
rate. If you want less growth, use less fertilizer. Don't exceed the suggested
rate by more than 50%.
Tips for Foliar Feeding:
Pro·Sol Water Soluble
Fertilizer
1. Optimum time is 7-10 AM or after 5 PM (The stomata on underside
of leaf are open at these times).
2. Ideally the temperature should be below 80° F.
3. Spray should contain small amounts of nitrogen which acts as a
nutrient absorption enhancer.
4. Phosphate is essential in foliar feeding for internal distribution
in the plant.
5. The pH of the final mixture should be as near neutral as
possible.
6. Spray as fine a mist as possible.
7. Wetting agents are important because the spray will spread out,
preventing beads of water which act as prisms, concentrating heat from the
sun's rays.
