Fertilization for the pre-winter period
The winter season is a source of great stress for the carpet which finds itself having to withstand very low temperatures and frost.
It is therefore necessary to provide the lawn with a high dose of potassium , an element identified in the fertilizer categories with the letter K.
Let's see how potassium will help your lawn.
Potassium acts in the collar of plants, that is, in the transition area between the stem and the root, at ground level.
This action gives the lawn the ability to better resist cold stress .
Potassium also prolongs the color of the lawn during the first winter frosts.
The product we recommend is Autumn K 21-0-25, a winter fertilizer that should be applied about 2 or 3 weeks before the onset of severe cold weather.
The fertilizer must also contain an adequate fraction of nitrogen , an element identified in the fertilizer categories with the letter N, with prolonged action of the 100% slow-release type.
The action of slow-release potassium and nitrogen will allow the lawn to survive the winter and reach spring healthy and ready for vegetative recovery.
You will get a better result if you apply a biostimulant treatment after potassium fertilization.
For this treatment we recommend the Always Biostimulant biostimulant based on humic acids.
These products, applied via the leaves, have soil improver properties and their effect is manifested in the stimulation of photosynthesis , respiration and translocation of nutrients, in a soil improver effect which, thanks to the presence of humic/fulvic acids, has an anti-stress and biostimulant action on vegetation, ultimately facilitating the absorption of the main nutrients.
Before winter, we recommend applying it once a week for three consecutive weeks, using a dose of 80 ml per 100 square metres of lawn each time.
This dose should be diluted in approximately 10 litres of water.
