Fertilisers - a resource efficient approach
Quality fertilisers can be highly impactful when used efficiently, adding vital nutrients and driving healthy grass growth.
To help protect waterways and prevent leaching that can cause environmental damage, Germinal offers the organicbased GSR Tri-Phase. This slow-release fertiliser delivers nitrogen and potash over a five-month period.

GSR TRI-PHASE
18-3.5-8 (+1Mgo+TE)
Trace elements: Copper, zinc, boron, managnese and molybdenum
Granule size:
1.0-2.0mm
Spreading rate: 25-35g/m2
Period of usage: March-September
An organic based phased release fertiliser that provides a consistent release of nitrogen and potash over a period of five months.
Quick release N gives way to methylene urea followed by a final release from the organic based element. Slow release potash from Kali vinasse helps regulate the water, as well as the intake and movement of nutrients around the plant.
This is essential to reduce plant stress and enhance drought resistance. GSR Tri-Phase is perfect for sports fields, golf fairways, golf tees and all amenity areas.
• 16-20 week release period
• Mini and max granule options
• Slow release potash aids plant health and drought resistance
• Phased release ensures uniform feeding across the period of use
