It produces a deep, desirable green colour, with a shade and intensity you can manage to suit your course and conditions, while also helping light work more efficiently for your turf plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot all of the sun's energy is useful for turfgrass growth; some of it can actually harm the plant, causing damaging sunburn to plant cells. This highly concentrated pigment is designed to improve the appearance of managed turf and to help protect it against UV radiation and high light intensities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduces a deep, desirable green colour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour intensity can be set by adjusting the application rate, frequency and integrated fertiliser programme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLatest-generation pigment technology at a high 70% concentration mimics natural plant pigments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps protect turf against harmful UV radiation and high light intensities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLight and Turf Stress\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParticles of light carry the energy that drives photosynthesis. This Photosynthetic Active Radiation (PAR) includes the “colours” of the light spectrum: violet, blue, green, yellow, orange and red.
