Grass Green Up

Ferrous Sulphate provides a remarkable green-up effect on the grass. When plenty of moisture is present, its impact can be long-lasting, resulting in a vibrant lawn.

 

Hardening & Disease Resistance

By applying Ferrous Sulphate, the turf undergoes a process called "hardening," which enhances its resistance to diseases and fungal attacks. This practice is commonly employed on sports turf during late autumn and winter. It's important to note that at certain concentrations, blackening of moss may occur. To ensure effectiveness, it is advisable to apply Ferrous Sulphate between September and April.

 

Will Blacken Moss

Additionally, Ferrous Sulphate has the ability to blacken moss. The extent of this effect depends on the desired outcome and the amount of product used.

 

Mixing Ferrous Sulphate

Ferrous Sulphate readily dissolves, especially when mixed during the cooler months. To expedite the dissolving process, it is recommended to add a small amount of warm water. Once mixed, it is important to use the solution on the same day, as the iron in Ferrous Sulphate starts to oxidise. For application, a trigger spray can be used.

By incorporating Ferrous Sulphate into your lawn care routine, you can achieve a vibrant green lawn, enhance disease resistance, and effectively manage moss.
