LebanonTurf, a worldwide market leader in the manufactureand development of turf fertiliser. LebanonTurf productsincorporate the very latest in patented nutrient releasetechnology and granule formulation. LebanonTurf investheavily in the research and development of turf fertilisers andLebanonTurf’s most popular ranges, proven analysis andlatest technologies are now available to the UK and Europeanmarkets.

LebanonTurf pack high levels of NPK into every fertiliser granule;reducing the amount of carrier and filler material to almost zero.This means LebanonTurf products can be applied at ultra lowapplication rates, avoiding needless packaging, bulky storage orexpensive transport helping our environment.

Whether you are applying to golf greens, sports pitches, lawns,landscapes or general amenity turf the Lebanon range offersuncompromising quality and top performance to suit the budget oftoday’s turf managers.

Key Benefits

• MESA ‘hoof proof’ controlled release nitrogen in patentedsingle particle form, even if the granule is broken MESArelease technology ensures consistent and controlled releaseof Nitrogen where coated slow release products can fail.

• Ultra-low application rates and high longevity offer costsavings and a more environmentally friendly approach toturf management.

• Achieve efficient potassium release and outstandinglongevity using Lebanon’s patented EXPO™ particle.

Composite Technology™ is a patented breakthrough in thefertiliser manufacturing process that produces a superiorfertiliser. We start with premium forms of nitrogen and fusethem with phosphorus, potassium, and micro nutrients tocreate a completely revolutionary, homogeneous granule. Theresult is a granule with better particle dispersion, betterintegrity, and a higher measurable amount of nitrogen activity.

Meth-EX 40® is the most efficient, high activity methylene ureacomplex available today. Meth-Ex 40® is nitrogen source thatprovides extended microbial release without the need forcoatings. Microbial release, dependent upon soil moisture andsoil temperature, allows nitrogen to be released when the turfneeds it most. The result is colour response often the same dayof application, minimal surge growth and maximum long-termresponse. (Typical nitrogen release: 8-10 weeks)

MESA® is the first nitrogen source to combine ammoniumsulphate with methylene urea in a single particle. The result isan effective and efficiently controlled nitrogen source. MESA®

provides a consistent, brilliant colour. Unlike SCU, MESA® doesnot rely on coating or lose its slow release attributes whencracked. With MESA®, even if cracked, the granule stillmaintains its slow release properties. That's why half a piece ofMESA® is still MESA®! (Typical nitrogen release: 6-9 weeks)

EXPO™ has been designed to extend the benefits ofpotassium. Expo™ is a unique, patented, single-particle madeby combining methylene urea and potassium sulphate. It goesbeyond standard potassium sulphate found in most fertiliser;Expo™ was specifically designed to deliver a more efficient,cost-effective, controlled release source of potash. It is onlyavailable in LebanonTurf Products. (Typical nitrogen release 10-14 weeks; typical potassium release: 8-10 weeks)

Everris Greenmaster Pro-Lite Pro-Lite is the Scotts/Everris registered trade name for a new type of ‘micro’fertiliser granule technology that contains zeolite in a homogenous form.Zeolite’s molecular structure is a 3D cage-like framework of silica andalumina molecules. Due to the spaces and channels in each molecule it actsas a microscopic sponge. Excess oxygen is held in the framework and createsa negative charge that holds cations and water molecules until needed by theplant. As a result zeolite gives improved longevity, dispersion and a morehomogenous granule.• Quick turf reaction• Pro-Lite/zeolite technology enhances longevity• Fine granule for quick dispersal

iSEED®: FEEDS THE SEEDS!NOT THE WEEDS• Improved overseeding results,

guaranteed! (30% more plants, 30%longer roots)

• Targeted nutrient application(Feeding the seed, not the weeds)

• Better wear tolerance• Reduced Poa annua levels• Environmentally friendly (reduced

losses of fertiliser to the environment)• Labour saving and cost effective

Feed per seediSeed® is a nutrient seed coating that consists of seeds andcoating materials. The coating consists of a combination of fastacting and slow release fertilisers. Per 100kgs of bare seeds,20kg N and 4kg P are applied to a field. This means that in thecase of Agrostis where we are sowing at low seeding rates andall the problems that entails, we now have a ready madesolution forsowing at easierrates. As thefertiliser iscoated onto theseeds, thegerminating anddevelopingseedlingreceives thebenefit, not thesurroundingplants. This isparticularlyimportant whenoverseeding into a competitive sward. The nitrogen andphosphate in iSeed® are up to four times more efficientcompared to broadcast applied ordinary fertilisers. Effectively theamounts applied in the above example would then become80kgs of N and 16kgs of P per hectare.

Johnsons Sports SeedAll Johnsons mixes are both TurfGuard and Growmax treated.TurfGuard - Increased germination and establishmentTurfGuard is a specific strain of thesoil bacteria Bacillus subtilis, which iscommonly found in the soil, on rootsand on leaves. Applied to grass seedits spores germinate and rapidly colonise the root system of thenew plant. This provides a barrier to soil pathogens whileproducing beneficial growth hormones that assist the grass plantin numerous ways.GroMax - Turf Grass Seed TreatmentGroMax is a unique and effective newseed treatment which stimulates thesoil's micro-flora, resulting inimproved root growth and turfestablishment, stress tolerance, and enhanced water and nutrientuptake in grasses.

Primo Maxx 0.5L/5LTrinexapac-ethyl is the active ingredient in Primo MAXX thatworks by redirecting plant growth. It specifically targets thegibberellic acid site responsible for cell elongation in grass. Not only does Primo MAXX inhibit vertical growth, but actuallydiverts plant growth downward into the root system to produceincreased food reserves and lateral stem development. This inturn produces a thicker, healthier sward that better equips yourturf to withstand temperature extremes, moisture loss, traffic andwear and tear, and even helps in the management of poaannua.Primo MAXX can be used on all well maintained quality turfgrass areas such as golf course fairways, golf tees, greens andsurrounds. It can also be used to help manage areas which aredifficult to mow such as sloping banks or turf edges by flowerbeds and pavements.• Easy to use liquid formulation• Reduces grass top growth• Flexible application rates for all turf surfaces• Improves turf colour and appearance• Cuts down mowing frequency - one application can reduce

grass clippings by up to 50%• Cuts down wear and tear on

machineryPack Coverage: VariableApplication programmeThe Primo MAXX programme can becommenced at any stage of thegrowing season, but ideally shouldstart at the onset of spring growth andcontinue whilst grass is activelygrowing. Primo MAXX programmeswill give the best results in preventingthe effects of drought - by maintaininghealthy grass for longer and aidingrapid recovery - if a series oftreatments are made before grass comes under stress (Pre-stressConditioning).Primo MAXX was voted the No.1 advancement in moderngreenkeeping, in a survey for Golfweek's SuperNEWS. It was citedas the first PGR that coulid be safely and predictably used on allfine turf areas, which has proven an invaluable tool to savemowing labour and maximise turf colour and density.

DewCure 10LDewcure is a long lasting, dew controlproduct, specifically formulated to reducethe accumulation of surface moisture onturf, including dew, guttation fluid and lightfrost.Key Points:• Reduces leaf moisture, suppressing dew

and guttation fluid formation• Enhanced longevity over conventional

dew suppressants• Faster drying times following rain or irrigation• Drier surfaces can result in less disease• Quicker recovery from frost• Reduced labour requirement and drier cutting• Pack size: 10 litresApplication: Use DewCure at its normal rate of 6l/ha in 400l ofwater. (It is important to maintain a 1.5% dilution) Make apretreatment application 1-2 days before aeration and/ortopdressing. The shorter the interval between application andaeration, the better the results.

Ronstar 2G Granules 20kgNOW WITH SPECIFIC OFF-LABEL APPROVAL FOR ORNAMENTAL SHRUB BEDS (20102995)RONSTAR 2G is a granular herbicide which contains the active ingredient oxadiazon. This broad-spectrum herbicide will control most annual broad leaf weeds and grasses. Ronstar 2G is createdas a granule to give pre-emergence residual control of the weeds, while offering maximum levelsof crop safety.How Ronstar 2G worksWhen Ronstar 2G is applied to moist soil, it dissolves, which forms an invisible barrier againstgerminating weeds. As weed seeds germinate and grow emerge up through the soil surface,they pick up the herbicide through theshoots and die. Weed control should be effective for up to 3 months. There is no uptake of herbicide via the roots and it is thisproperty of RONSTAR 2G that ensures safety to the plant.Weeds ControlledWeed species controlled include the following:Annual Meadow Grass, Annual Nettle, Black-bindweed, Black Nightshade, Charlock, Cleavers, Corn Spurrey, Corn Poppy, Docks(from seed), Fat Hen, Forget-me-not, Fumitory, Groundsel, Hairy Bitter-cress, Italian Ryegrass, Knotgrass, Liverwort (partial control),Mayweed (some species), Orache, Oxalis Spp, Red Deadnettle, Redshank, Runch (Wild Radish), Scarlet Pimpernel, Shepherds Purse,Small Nettle, Smooth Meadow Grass, Sowthistles, Speedwells, Sun Spurge, Willowherb (from seed) and Wild Oat.Application Rate: 1kg per 100m maximum.

Nemasys Chafer Grub Killer Apply Nemasys Chafer Grub Killer tomoist lawns from August to earlyOctober. This is when the young grublarvae are active and the temperatureis above 12ºC (54ºF). The nematodes(Heterorhabditis megidis) seek out thechafer grubs and attack the pest byentering natural body openings. Onceinside, they release bacteria that stopsthe pest from feeding, quickly killingthe pest. They do not stop there. The nematodes reproduceinside the dead pest and release a new generation of hungryinfective nematodes, which disperse and search for further prey.Nemasys Chafer Grub Killer must be used within 3-4 weeks ofbeing received.Do not apply Nemasys Chafer Grub killer too late, since thegrubs start to move down deeper in the soil and become inactiveuntil the following spring. However, as this move downwards istemperature dependent, in some years it may still be alright toapply later.As long as the grubs are near the surface and the soiltemperature is above 12ºC (54ºF) nematodes can still beapplied.Pack Sizes: 100m2 or 500m2

Nemasys Leatherjacket Killer Apply when the young leatherjackets are active in thesoil, this is typically late August through tothe end of October. When you start to seethe adult daddy-long-legs (towards theend of August) you will know that in a fewdays they will be laying eggs. These willhatch quickly, therefore, aim to apply abouta week to two weeks after you see theadults. The nematodes (Steinernema feltiae),seek out the leatherjackets and attack thepest by entering natural body openings. Once inside, theyrelease bacteria that stops the pest from feeding, quickly killingthe pest. They do not stop there. The nematodes reproduceinside the dead pest and release a new generation of hungryinfective nematodes, which disperse and search for further prey.Apply to moist turf when the soil temperature is above 12ºC(54ºF) and water them in well. The nematode needs to bewashed well in so that they reach the roots where theleatherjackets will be. Make sure the turf does not dry out afterapplying nematodes.Pack Sizes: 100m2 or 500m2

Pro Crystal 4.09kgProCrystal® controls swimming orfloating unicellular and filamentousalgae found in ponds, lakes and allstagnant expanses of water favouringtheir development. These algae developand proliferate in nutrient rich watersand are the main cause of oxygendepletion of the water following theirdecay. Apart from the aestheticunpleasantness caused, they create aphysical obstacle to activities such asirrigation, water sports, fishing and fishfarms. ProCrystal® is a plant-based inert powder inoculated by 6strains of class 1 bacteria (over 6 x 10° bacteria per single-dosesachet). It very quickly consumes and degrades the excessnitrogen (nitrates and ammoniacal nitrogen) and phosphates thatalgae feed on to develop.The algae die swiftly after treatment by being deprived of thenourishment essential to their development. Many testsconducted on infested bodies of water show the rapid reductionin nitrite, nitrate and phosphate concentrations in water treatedwith ProCrystal.How to UseProCrystal® is used by distributing the unopened sachetsuniformly on the surface of the water. It may be applied from theriverside or from a boat. The sachets should be thrown directlyonto the surface of the water requiring treatment. The dosagevaries according to the depth of the water and applicationtiming:

Excalibar 25L - Barley Straw ExtractExcalibar is an established, environment-friendly extract of barley straw preparationto fight and control algae.• Not a herbicide. It comes as an easily-

• Produced under carefully controlledconditions, and is batch-tested toMAINTAIN CONSISTENTCONCENTRATIONS OF ANTIALGAECOMPOUNDS

• 100% active from the moment it is poured into the water, andblocks further growth of the algae present. Because it does notdirectly kill the algae, Excalibar should ideally be used as apreventive tool, and added in the spring, before the algaebegin to grow strongly. It can still be used under algal bloomconditions, but may take some weeks to bring the bloomunder control, as the algal cells expire. Suspended algae(green and blue-green species) succumb to Excalibar morequickly than filamentous types

Mixture B 5LMixture-B is a non-ionic wetter/spreader,which greatly enhances the effect ofglyphosate. When used it cuts the waxylayer on plant leaves to speed the uptakeof glyphosate. It can thus be most useful ina number of ways. Firstly it will enhanceuptake to kill difficult weeds such asbracken, Japanese knotweed, brush woodweeds, sow thistles and others. Secondly itwill speed up the action of glyphosate toreduce the time it takes to work. Thirdly itwill speed uptake if rainfall is threatening and ensure theglyphosate works in marginal conditions. Finally, for “normal”weeds, its effect will enhance the effects of glyphosate enough toallow a considerable reduction in application rates and still giveexcellent results.

Soil Compaction Tester/Penetrometer Compaction causes serious problems onmany soils and can be a serious problemfor turf managers. Compacted soils result inpoor root and plant development.Compacted soil is dense; rooting may beadversely affected. Mega Pascal scale onas standard.Compaction severely restricts the manner in whichsoil naturally manages water; both by holdingwater near the surface of the field - and by limitingthe ability of plants to take up water andnutrients from below. Excess surfacewater makes fields difficult to work in thespring and fall.A compacted zone means that fertilisers, pesticides andherbicides you apply cannot be utilised efficiently.

Instant Ice Melt granules freely flow through standard spreadersto give up to six times the coverage of rock salt. Safe aroundpeople and animals. For use on hard surfaces only, avoid spill orapplication on to grassed and other areas of vegetation.

Instant Ice Melt 10kgInstant ice melt is a urea based product.The benefits of using urea over salt is thatit has a freezing point of -11OC comparedto salt at -5OC. Instant Ice Melt is notcorrosive to metalwork as salt is, and it ismore environmentally acceptable becauseof its very low toxicity compared to salt.

Non Toxic - Instant Ice Melt is a muchsafer compound than rock salt and doesnot effect animals or water and will not rust your spreadingequipment or stain pathways or drives.

Instant Ice Melt has excellent coverage compared to gritsalt. Instant ice melt offers a perfect solution for creating safesurfaces in cold conditions.

Magic Ice Melt is alsonon-corrosive to fabrics, glass and metals;meaning it can be applied without the needto wear any form of protective clothing.

Magic Ice Melt’s ability to flow freely allowsit to be applied sparingly, meaning a bagwill last much longer than the equivalent weight in rock salt.

Offers up to 6 x the coverage of salt and is completely non-corrosive to metals and reinforced concrete, non-toxic tohumans, animals and vegetation, and is clean and easy to apply.

MankarAll Mankar spraying systems are based onULV (Ultra-Low Volume) technology,meaning that they have “particularly small(output) quantities”. This is a furtherdevelopment of CDA (Controlled DropletApplication) technology whereby, incomparison to conventional sprayprocesses, smaller liquid droplets can begenerated with uniform sizes. The dropletsize (or its narrow size spectrum) is,thereby, adapted to the area ofapplication. Mankar halves chemical useand gives massive labour savings.

Easy-Spray PKS Kerband Pavement SprayerIdeal for overall spray programmes, but especially to achievehigher standards (e.g. for Britain in Bloom), to complementexisting weed control programmes, or as a ‘spot’ tidy upoperation between main applications of herbicide.The herbicide is applied by automatically calibrated ControlledDroplet Application (CDA). With the EASY-SPRAY® unit fromAmenity Land Solutions, there is very low risk of environmentalhazards such as spray drift and over-dosing.Public attention is not drawn to the spraying operation, assweeping is usually taking place at the same time.Bayer Environmental Science herbicide CDA Vanquish Biactiveused in the CDA Pavement Sprayer is non-irritant and,environmentally, the safest available under C.O.S.S.H regulations.
