Turf Trust® Professional Lawn Fertilizer is designed for
the consumer who expects only the best.
Turf Trust® is a revolutionary new lawn fertilizer. It is
the only fertilizer to contain the compound CDU®. CDU® stands
for Crotonylidene Diurea and is imported from Japan. In Japan, it is
the preferred nitrogen source in golf course fertilizers.
While slowly released through hydrolysis, its mineralization rate is
faster than that of other organic or inorganic fertilizers used on
turf grass. Although it has a high mineralization rate, Turf
Trust® still contains over 40% WIN (Water Insoluble Nitrogen).
This means the lawn will be fed slowly and gently, minimizing the
potential for waste through runoff.
Why is that important? Longer feeding equates to longer greening and
healthier grass plants. A plant that feeds longer will have more
energy.
At the recommended rate Turf Trust® avoids quick uncontrolled
growth and reduces mowing.
| How else will Turf Trust benefit my lawn? |
In addition to CDU®, Turf Trust® contains additional
nitrogen sources, six in all. This creates the CDU® + effect. The
CDU® + effect is known as continuous extended release. This release
pattern will feed your lawn from the moment the fertilizer is
activated by water and continue feeding for 12 to 14 weeks.
The CDU® will help to control the soil borne pathogens that cause
Fusarium Blight, Pythium, and Brown Patch. This means less disease
problems in the summer.
Turf Trust® is formulated with the environment in mind. It
has a low level of Phosphate (2%) to reduce the risk of runoff in to
the Chesapeake Bay.
Turf Trust® has the recommended amount of Potassium for root
development and cell wall thickening. Thicker cell walls equate to
plants that are more wear tolerant and incur fewer stress related
problems.
| Secondary Nutrients and Micronutrients |
Turf Trust® contains the most complete list of secondary
nutrients and micronutrients available to the homeowner. The
secondary nutrients are: Calcium, Magnesium, and Sulfur. The
micronutrient package consists of Manganese, Iron, Copper, Boron,
Zinc, and Molybdenum. Together these nutrients will produce the most
complete feeding that the home lawn can receive.
One bag of Turf Trust® weighs 20.83 lbs. and covers 5,000
square feet. Each feeding delivers 1.0# of nitrogen per 1,000 square
foot.
Turf Trust® takes the guess work out of feeding by providing
everything plants need at the right time.
For year-round maximum turfgrass performance, three applications
of Turf Trust® Lawnfood are advised: Apply in spring when the
soil and grass are not frozen, to improve efficiency and prevent
runoff. Apply again in Early September, with a final application in
the first week of November.
Application:
1. Cut lawn first.
2. A rotary spreader is recommended since it produces better results
than a drop spreader.
3. Tumble the bag a few times to ensure proper distribution of
granules.
4. Treat the border of the lawn first, then the balance with minimal
overlap.
5. Always shut off spreader when turning.
6. Any granules left on sidewalk or driveways should be swept into
the lawn. Turf Trust® contains iron which is essential to
grass, however it could potentially leave unwanted stains.
7. Any unused portion of Turf Trust® can be stored in a cool
dry place in the tightly original bag.
| When to apply Turf Trust® |
Cool-season lawns should receive most of their yearly fertilizer
in the early fall. Fertilize warm-season lawns from early spring
until late summer.
For year-round maximum turfgrass performance, three applications
of Turf Trust® Lawnfood are advised:
1. Apply in Spring when the soil and grass are not frozen, to
improve efficiency and prevent runoff.
2. Apply again in Early September around Labor Day.
3. Apply in the Fall around Halloween.
