Often we go out to golf courses and farms around the UK, which is a great pleasure. Visiting some of the most exciting parts of the super UK. Production of the best Great British food, and the best game in the world.
One very common theme we find whilst doing these fantastic visits, is that we are normally working with 100 acres up to 10,000 acres, meaning that there is a multitude of soil types and weather patterns to deal with, and of course a huge range of business types and aims.
At Grass Science Seeds (GSS) we believe in science. We feel very strongly about the value of your confidence and your financial investment, therefore for us sampling must be done correctly to avoid getting spurious results which will mislead and misinform, in turn could mean lots of wasted time and money and no results to show for it.
Once again, the popular exhibition proved itself to be the country’s leading golf course and sports turf management event.
Grass Science Seeds finds the wide choice of lectures, presentations and exhibitors is second to none and, of course, there’s the chance to catch up and chat with old friends as well as make new ones.
Potassium is an essential nutrient for all plants. Enzyme processes, water movement, and transport of the products of photosynthesis are all reliant on potassium. It is essential that crops have a good supply of potassium to ensure high yields and consistent quality.
The easiest and most simplistic way to assess the health of soil is to dig a hole and observe the number of worms present. This gives a great indication of the structure, fertility and nutrient content of the soil. Earthworms are an essential part of soil health, often being referred to as ‘nature’s plough’; they undertake a similar functions but at a much slower rate.
Sulphur is classified as a secondary nutrient, and is often referred to as the ‘fourth major plant nutrient’. Sulphur is frequently a limiting nutrient in plant quality and yield, largely due to increasing yields from crops and lack of awareness of the importance of sulphur.
