Grass and Plants
Fertilizers
Fertilizers are divided into spring, summer, and autumn fertilizers according to the seasons of the year.
Fertilizer type
Slow-release fertilizers are the best lawn fertilizer.
How much should I use?
The application rate is pre-determined for each fertilizer. The dosage on the label must be followed.
Granule sizer
The most suitable granule size is 2 – 4 mm.
Application period and time
Application should be carried out according to seasonal conditions. On very hot days, morning or evening hours are ideal.
Condition of the lawn
Damaged or deteriorated grass requires more nutrients. This should be taken into account when determining the nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium ratios in your fertilizer selection.
Number of applications
When using slow-release fertilizer, 3-4 applications per year are sufficient.
Correct application
Before applying fertilizer, you need to know the area in square meters where you will be applying it. This prevents you from making incorrect fertilization applications.
Fertilization
Although agricultural-based fertilizers are beneficial for all plants, the best fertilization option for lawns is slow-release granular fertilizers, as the soil in lawn areas cannot be tilled or harrowed. Burned and screened animal manure, used since ancient times, increases the weed population in green areas and gradually destroys the grass cover. Since the agricultural fertilizers used solely stimulate aboveground plant growth and do not support root development, grass areas that look healthy initially may completely disappear over time. Slow-release granular fertilizers provide long-term nutrition for lawns, delivering the plant's required nutrients in a complete and slowly-release form. For your annual lawn and plant care, consult SECOFE. SECOFE Slow-Release Fertilizer is the best choice.
