R e s i d e n t i a l s p o r t s f i e l d g o l f Regain S Perhaps the easiest and most cost effective practice to preserving your nutrient investment is protecting against nitrogen waste. Regain S fertilizers keep more nitrogen in the soil longer by attracting or immobilizing the enzyme that causes ammonia nitrogen to be wasted to the atmosphere. That means you can use less, have more nitrogen available for root uptake and have less wasted to the atmosphere or leached into groundwater. Tests prove that with Regain S fertilizers you can use over 33% less nitrogen and still achieve excellent color results. For tees and greens For short cut fairways For roughs, sports fields, and professional lawn care application.

3 premium mini-standard premium mini shortcut fairway sgn 150 visual appeal Spring Valley Premium products are highly versatile premium fertilizers that contain a balance of plant nutrients to promote plant health and vigor, particularly when applied to turfgrass. Spring Valley exceeds industry standards by implementing the absolute best standards in product quality and service. All Spring Valley Premium fertilizers are sized to provide over 60% more granulation coverage (compare to the industry standard SG 250), and are screened to provide clean, dependable application for maximum performance. The qualities of these blends are specifically geared to promote a superior color response and will aid in improving resistance to disease, damage caused by excess wear, and recovery from environmental stress.

How to Use* For optimum performance, begin spring applications just before soil temperatures reach 50 F. Although nitrogen can be applied at the rate of 1.0 lb. per every 8 weeks, it is also recommended that lighter, half-rate applications be made each month, especially during hot, dry periods. Continue scheduled feedings throughout the growing season until soil temperature retreats to below 50 F. Late fall and dormant feedings are recommended after soil temperatures remain below 50 F for several consecutive days and turf growth has slowed considerably. Apply product evenly with a calibrated spreader. For best results, apply prior to rainfall or irrigate immediately after application. *Southern turf grasses, including St. Augustine and hybrid Bermuda grasses may require higher levels of nitrogen for optimum performance.

Team A.I. / options Simply stated, Spring Valley s broadleaf weed control products outperform other leading brands. Period. Spring Valley broadleaf control products utilize the best ingredients for maximum granule coverage resulting in superior control. Combination fertilizers with broadleaf weed control (commonly referred to weed & feed ) products perform best when applied during periods of active weed growth (late spring through early fall). Most products require A.I. contact absorption through the weed leaf before it can be effective in eradicating broadleaf weeds, however, advancements in new products (Millennium Ultra and Surge ) offer some rootabsorbed activity. Application to wet turf (early morning dew or irrigation) followed by direct sunlight during periods of active growth provides the best results for weed and feed treatment. SURGE Broadleaf Herbicide for Turf provides an amine option for FAST (up to twice as fast as other amine-based products) weed control in warmer weather (can be used up to 90 ). SURGE contains sulfentrazone, an advanced chemistry for weed control in turf, in a precise ratio with 2,4-D, MCPP-p and dicamba. A unique mode of action inhibits a key enzyme required for chlorophyll production, with weed injury symptoms visible within hours. Compared to other herbicides SURGE excels as a warm-weather option as it provides superior control against dandelions, knotweed, clover, oxalis and plantain.

Regain When urea nitrogen is left untreated its greatest fate and most immediate loss, sometimes in excess of 30% within days of the application, is through the air. Additional nitrogen (up to 20% more) can be lost through leaching and dentrification. Fertilizers with Regain S controls the enzyme (urease) that causes ammonia volatilization, keeping it from robbing valuable nitrogen from the soil. By blocking or controlling the enzyme that causes nitrogen loss, more nitrogen stays in the soil longer and more nitrogen is available to the plant for uptake. With Regain S you can use less nitrogen, get more nutrient in the leaf tissue, and save money.
