Stabilized Nitrogen fertilisers

Stripes Lawn Care use Stabilized Nitrogen fertilizer products offer a novel approach to nitrogen fertility problems in turf grass.

Stabilized Nitrogen products are uniquely formulated to minimize losses and also to provide uniform feeding of turf, resulting in an extended, deep green colour.

Stabilized Nitrogen fertilisers are not coated with micro plastic nor do they use a complex chain process to reduce nitrogen losses. Stabilized Nitrogen is uniquely formulated with a urease inhibitor to stop volatilization losses and a nitrification inhibitor to stop leaching and denitrification losses. Stabilized Nitrogen works with nature to keep nitrogen in a plant-available form for a longer period of time providing uniform feeding of turf, resulting in an extended, deep-green colour.

Stabilized Nitrogen works naturally

Stabilized Nitrogen provides results similar to a slow – or controlled-release nitrogen fertiliser. It also ensures availability to the plant when it needs it, because its release is not dependent on temperature or microbial breakdown. Stabilized Nitrogen has many advantages:

  • Extended deep green colour
  • Healthy, high-quality turf
  • Fewer applications per year
  • Lower clipping yield
  • More environmentally friendly
  • Better value
  • Reduced thatch levels
  • Increased root mass
  • Increased disease resistance

Stabilized Nitrogen fertilisers are environmentally friendly

Water and air qualities are at the forefront of public opinion and with this increased scrutiny, fertiliser applications must be geared towards minimizing their effects on the environment. Stabilized Nitrogen products protect against nitrogen loss from volatility, leaching and denitrification, therefore releasing less greenhouse gas emissions than unstable nitrogen products.
