Nutrition for better turf, lawns and pastures

For turf managers, landscapers, pasture producers and turf farms, every kilogram of nutrient applied needs to deliver a return.

Rising fertiliser costs, weather uncertainty and increasing pressure to improve efficiency mean that getting more value from each application has never been more important. That is why Green Urea NV® and GreenTop K® are becoming popular choices for professional turf and pasture nutrition programs.

Both products are designed to help growers and land managers maximise nutrient efficiency, reduce losses and maintain healthier, greener and more resilient plant growth. They also provide a practical solution for situations where irrigation or rainfall cannot always be perfectly timed.

More nitrogen stays where it belongs
Nitrogen is one of the most important nutrients for turf, lawns and pastures, yet standard urea can lose significant amounts of nitrogen through volatilisation when left on the soil surface. Green Urea NV® uses proven urease inhibitor technology to slow the breakdown of urea, helping keep nitrogen available for plant uptake instead of being lost to the atmosphere.

One of the standout benefits is a reduction in nitrogen loss of approximately 25 per cent or more under many conditions. Australian field trials show significantly lower ammonia losses compared with standard urea. Trials conducted across multiple sites consistently demonstrated reductions in volatilisation losses, helping retain more nitrogen for productive growth.

🤠 We're not horsing around when we say the road is there to be shared 🐎

Horses are allowed on many NSW roads, so don't "stirrup" trouble when you come across one:

🐎 Rein in your speed and give them plenty of room

🐎 Stop if the rider is having difficulty with their horse

🐎 Never use your horn or rev your engine
