Floranid Twin

Floranid®Twin 

The new slow-release fertilisers in the Floranid®Twin range are comprised of a unique combination of two highly efficient and well-proven nitrogen compounds, ISODUR® and CROTODUR®. This Double N Technology ensures a long-lasting and reliable supply of nitrogen at the highest possible utilisation rate and guarantees optimal plant growth for the successful implementation of ambitious sports turf management.

Granulometry 

Floranid®Twin fertilisers consist of what are known as complex granular compounds, which are produced from a homogeneous premix containing all requisite nutrients. This means that the whole spectrum of nutrients can be found in each individual granule at the same concentration. That guarantees a homogeneous distribution of the granules and hence a perfect nutrient supply. The optimised solubility of the granules facilitates this process and enables rapid penetration of the fertiliser into the sward and the root zone (Fig. 1).

Granule

Floranid®Twin fertilisers for use on sports fields, public green spaces, and in horticulture and landscape design are supplied at the approved granule-size spectrum of 0.7–2.8mm; extra-fine granulated products for use on golf courses in the granule-size spectrum of 0.5–1.4mm. A new feature is that the distribution within the fractions is homogeneous and, overall, a greater proportion also fall within the smaller granule-size. This results in excellent spread behaviour, and perfect distribution of the granules on the turf a prerequisite for the efficient supply of nutrients.

Improved phosphate and magnesium absorption

Floranid®Twin fertilisers are also characterised by an elevated proportion of water-soluble phosphate and magnesium. The proportion of water-soluble phosphate amounts to 80% of the total phosphate; the proportion of water-soluble magnesium makes up 80% of the total magnesium as well.

Increased levels of trace elements

Trace elements perform essential functions in a plant’s metabolic processes and promote disease resistance. In the development of the Floranid®Twin fertilisers, great attention was paid to the adequate provision of micronutrients and the levels of Mn, Cu, and Zn, B and Fe were significantly increased.

Synergy effect of Floranid®Twin

ISODUR® makes nitrogen available more quickly than CROTODUR® and even on first application provides initial stimulation for sustained growth and a corresponding greening effect. In this process, metabolites organic products that convert and break down compounds are also formed, which have a positive effect on soil activity at microbiological level. Thanks to its chemical properties, the nitrogen effect of CROTODUR® is then put into action with a time delay and with additional support from the initial stimulation of the microorganisms in the soil.

The effect of Floranid®Twin on soil life

Floranid®Twin has been proven to stimulate microorganisms in the soil, thus supporting important interactions in the rhizosphere. An active soil life promotes vital growth and reduces a plant’s susceptibility to diseases.

The effect of Floranid®Twin on roots

Extensive laboratory studies and field tests have shown that ISODUR® and CROTODUR® promote root growth. Stable root architecture is crucial for the optimal functionality of sport turf.

Strengthening effect of Floranid®Twin

For vigorous regenerative growth after exposure to stress or to support recovery from certain challenging conditions, for example heat and frost, a plant must be able to rely on stored reserves. Floranid®Twin fertiliser promote these physiological processes and ensures the growth of strong and resilient plants.

Qualitative properties of Floranid®Twin

Floranid®Twin fertilisers have a positive impact on plant physiological parameters such as the build-up of matter, photosynthesis activity, and the storage of reserves. These factors were clearly strengthened through the use of Double N Technology in contrast with the use of ISODUR® on its own. Stimulating and stabilising these processes in a plant ultimately leads to an increase in resistance to various stress factors, including heat, drought, frost, and disease, as well as leading to an improvement in the plant’s ability to regenerate.

The effectiveness and efficiency of a fertiliser are primarily determined by its physical and chemical properties. In the new, state- of-the-art, slow-release fertiliser facility in the COMPO EXPERT plant in Krefeld, Germany, Floranid®Twin fertilisers are produced according to strictly defined quality requirements.

Due to the synergy effect of this Double N Technology, a reliable and consistent supply of nutrients to the grass is maintained at an optimal level over a very long period. Consequently, the plants can utilise the nutrients more effectively for shoot and root growth as well as for important metabolic processes.

Floranid®Twin Turf BS 20-5-8

What

Floranid®Twin Turf BS has an ideal nutrient ratio for high-quality turf that contains double N technology made of ISODUR® and CROTODUR®. Floranid®Twin Turf BS also contains Bacillus subtilis, selection E4-CDX®

Bacillus subtilis, selection E4-CDX® is a unique and effective strain of rhizosphere bacterium. Bacillus subtilis competes with harmful pathogens for space around the roots of the grass plant. Once established, it physically protects the roots and inhibits the advance of soil borne fungi such as fusarium.

Tests also show that Bacillus subtilis gives off a chemical that disorientates nematodes, so they can no longer find the root.

Bacillus subtilis, selection E4-CDX® stands out from all the other strains of Bacillus subtilis:

Once watered in, Bacillus subtilis, selection E4-CDX® operates in the rhizophere. Symbiosis with fine root hairs result in coverage of the entire root. This creates a live barrier protecting the whole root that disease can't penetrate. Therefore disease has no opportunities to set infection.
