Spring Valley - 21-0-11 Top Cut Fertilizer - SGN 150 - 50 LB BAG

Top Cut® is an organic, nutrient-rich, nitrogen fertilizer source produced from biosolids. The addition of Top Cut to Prevail fertilizers replenishes the organic matter and also improves soil structure by increasing the soil’s ability to absorb and store moisture. Combining Top Cut with other fertilizer components complements the agronomic benefits of natural fertilizers with the quick response and economy of traditional fertilizers.

Top Cut is rich in nitrogen and phosphorus, two primary nutrients essential for turf growth, and also contains micronutrients such as calcium, sulfur, iron and humic acid. Because the nutrients are released as the plant needs it, they are less likely to leach into waterways, which is better for the environment. The slow release feeding also provides more uniform growth, a more established root system and thicker, healthier turf.

Benefits of Humic Acid

• Optimizes soil structure to increase soil fertility
• Neutralizes acidic and alkaline soil to release beneficial metal ions and promote nutrient absorption
• Stimulates root growth to improve nutrient uptake
• Increases turf’s ability to withstand stress

Benefits of Calcium

• Helps maintain a chemical balance in the soil, reduces salt content, and improves water penetration
• Stimulates the roots to encourage the uptake of nutrients
• Increases cell wall strength and thickness

NutriLife® is a biochemical fertilizer catalyst that makes fertility programs more efficient by getting more nutrients into the plant and improving plant performance. Uniquely available to Spring Valley and our designated partners, NutriLife improves the conversion of organic and inorganic fertilizers into plant-available forms.

Other fertilizer technologies work against the soil system focusing on only one nutrient. NutriLife works with the nutrient cycling system focusing on all nutrients. Biochemicals provide the tools that the bacteria in the soil need to function, determining their ability to process soil nutrients to stimulate root growth and produce healthier plants. Soil  microbes and their biochemical components play a major role in nutrient efficiency, as it is the soil microbe activity that releases the nutrients for the plant and other microbes to use.

This product is a premium mini-sized fertilizer that is ideal for the nutrient demands of top quality turf performance, particularly for golf fairways, athletic fields and other short-cut turf areas.

Active Ingredient: Derived from: Bio-Solids, Sulfate of Potash, Methylene Ureas.

Use Sites:

• Golf fairways
• Athletic fields
• Other short-cut turf areas

Controls:

Not applicable

Application

For optimum performance, begin spring applications just before soil temperatures reach 50 degrees F. Although nitrogen can be applied at the rate of 1.0 LB/1,000 SQ FT 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 degrees F. Late fall and dormant feedings are recommended after soil temperatures remain below 50 degrees F for several consecutive days and turf growth has slowed considerably.

Apply product evenly with a calibrated spreader. For best results, irrigating after applications will aid in granule penetration in close-cut dense turf. Removing grass catchers for initial mowing will minimize particle pick-up.

*Southern turf grasses, including St. Augustine and hybrid Bermuda grasses may require higher levels of nitrogen for optimum performance.

See Label for complete application instructions.

Restrictions

• NEVER FERTILIZE WHEN THE GRASS IS MOIST
• ALWAYS CLEAN OUT SPREADER AFTER EACH USE.
