Golf course superintendents have a lot to handle day to day, and delegating labor between all of those different divisions is a challenge. That being said, any opportunity to take one item off of their plate to bulk up labor in other areas is a huge win. Taking away the worry of reapplying fertilizer throughout the season allows course maintenance staff to focus on more, while maximizing availability.

POLYON® controlled-release fertilizer can help you utilize your resources more efficiently. The controlled-release characteristics of POLYON® provide consistent, predictable, and dependable nutrients for days, even months, depending on the POLYON® nutrient source applied to your plants. This controlled-release mechanism results in greater nutrient uptake efficiency and longer lasting nutrient availability, relative to other soluble and slow-release sources of plant nutrients.

Consistent nutrient release results in your labor consistently working

Work conducted at the University of Florida by Dr. John Cisar and published in the International Turfgrass Society Research Journal, demonstrated that a single application of POLYON® can provide high quality turfgrass response relative to monthly applications of soluble ammonium sulfate. This observation was made during both warm and cool environmental conditions.

Plan your nutrient release and free your labor from releasing nutrients

The predictable nature of POLYON® allows turf managers to plan nutrient release based on their needs utilizing the POLYGRAPH software. Turf managers can select application date, rates, and POLYON® type based on the desired response and longevity of release. Preplanning a guaranteed nutrient release frees and allows labor to focus on other needs at one’s turf facility.
