Definition of TerraCottem Turf

TerraCottem turf for turf seeded grass Physical soil conditioner specially formulated to improve the quality of turf, seeded grass or sprigs. It has been designed to increase the water and nutrient holding capacity of soils and growing media and improve their structure, aeration and performance. It increases the plant’s root development and foliar growth and reduces the need for watering up to 50%.

This environmental technology is the result of a proprietary scientifically balanced composition consisting of more than 20 different substances based on different acrylamide and acrylic acid copolymers with potassium salt and ammonium salt; NPK fertilizer with magnesium; humic acids; growth precursors and zeolite.

TerraCottem Turf has to be mixed homogeneously into the root zone or growing medium.

When to apply?

Prior to seeding, sprigging or sodding.

Application frequency

Just once.

Machinery required for application

Fertilizer spreader (preferably drop type) & rototiller

1.		Apply TerraCottem Turf (TCT) to surface at recommended rate with a fertilizer spreader (preferably drop type) or mix off-site with growing medium and apply this to surface.
2.		For small areas (e.g. a couple of dozen square meters/yards) and slopes apply TCT manually at recommended rate.
3.		Mix into the root zone to a depth of 20 cm/8 inches with a rotovator, rotary hoe or rototiller, across the length and width of the area.
4.		For slopes, use a hoe to incorporate the product into the soil at a depth of 20 cm/8 in.
5.		Prepare soil for seeding, sodding or sprigging.
6.		Seed, sod or sprig.
7.		Rake the seeds lightly into the soil.
8.		Roll to imbed seed.
9.		Water thoroughly.

The above-mentioned rates are applicable in the majority of cases. However they may vary according to the climate, type of soil and recommendations of the project manager, architect or consultant. For recommended methods and specific rates contact your distributor.
