SAP Testing Services OMEX is the innovator of the unique SAP service in the UK. The process involves collecting clippings following mowing and sending them to the OMEX SAP laboratory for rapid processing and analysis. The sap is extracted from the clippings using in house equipment and subjected to a complete analysis of all macro and micro nutrients. The results are then interpreted using a database of samples from over 50 years of plant sap testing and any deficiencies, excesses or imbalances are addressed with a recommendation for foliar correction.

SAP testing is unlike any conventional plant testing system and is compared to taking a blood test. It measures what has actually been taken up by the turf and can help diagnose rooting problems and availability issues. Conventional tissue testing is not as accurate, since it measures all nutrients in the sample, including those that are in cell walls and may not be available for growth. 16 separate parameters are analysed and reports display the results in an easy to interpret form, showing the status of each part of the test against the ideal level for the turf at the sampling date.

A recommendation to correct any deficiencies or nutrient imbalances is also provided if appropriate.

SAP testing can be used to help diagnose a particular issue on a green or as a routine part of greens management, offering a chance to carry out a complete nutrient assessment of the greens.

Suspension Emulsion Technology

OMEX specialises in the development and manufacture of super-concentrated liquid foliar fertilisers.

These products are characterised by very high nutrient concentrations, often close to those of solid fertilisers and several times that of normal solution fertilisers. All products are 100% water-soluble for fertigation and foliar applications.

The chemistry required to formulate OMEX water soluble suspensions is complex. Advanced gels are combined with high quality raw materials to produce stable formulations. Nutrients are chloride-free and micro nutrients are chelated with EDTA where appropriate. In addition, stringent quality control tests are performed at every step in the manufacturing process.

eba technology®

- Enhanced Bio Availability

The OMEX foliar product range incorporates eba technology – a revolutionary formulation system designed to optimise foliar uptake and assimilation of nutrients.

Formulation characteristics of the products include:

• Selection of specific raw materials to aid rapid assimilation and mobilisation in the plant

• Synergistic, multi-form nutrient sources

• Two separate organic fractions to improve nutrient transport and stimulate epiphyllic micro organisms on the leaf surface which aid nutrient uptake

• An advanced adjuvant system to allow maximum leaf coverage

®

Nitrogen is highly mobile within the plant and is in constant conversion between different forms within the rootzone. Rootzone nitrogen is prone to rapid movement beyond the relatively shallow rooting area into the subsoil, especially under high irrigation or heavy rainfall. It can also become immobilised, particular in rootzones with high levels of thatch. Applying targeted, foliar applications of nitrogen avoid the risk of losses via the soil and provide rapid response and green-up.

High N is a particularly useful product for a regular nitrogen boost or for areas which are subject to stress due to weather or rootzone conditions, containing 3 sources of nitrogen and a range of secondary and micronutrients. It leaves no residues on treated greens and offers rapid stripe-free fertiliser application with normal sprayers and can be tank-mixed to save more time.

CalMax TurfPack size - 5 litres Pack size - 5 litres

Foliar High N Pack size - 10 litres

CalMax Turf is a foliar applied calcium product that maximises calcium uptake and mobility and acts as a powerful nitrogen primer. It is applied immediately before applying nitrogen to turf, helping it use the nitrogen effectively and improving turf health and stress resistance.

For a short period after applying nitrogen the calcium supply from the soil is upset and turf can be temporarily short of calcium, making it more susceptible to disease with weak cell structure.

CalMax Turf overcomes this temporary calcium shortage and creates stronger cells, making the turf harder wearing and more resistant to disease.

CalMax Turf is unique. Using EBA Technology®, CalMax Turf is formulated with AXM, which acts as a “pump primer” to enable calcium to be actively transported into plant cells.

The formulation is designed to be used at very low application rates, which will out-perform standard calcium products used at higher rates.

When to use How much to use Comments

Prior to applying nitrogen 50 ml/green, 1.0 litre/ha Apply between 1-5 days before nitrogen application


When nitrogen is required 0.25 litres/green, 5 litres/ha Repeat as required to maintain

Foliar Nutrition

Folex K

Folex K is a super concentrated potassium and nitrogen feed. Potassium is a major nutrient which is required by all plants. It is second only to nitrogen in the amounts required by turf. It is highly mobile and moves freely in sandy rootzones.

Within the turf, potassium is involved in over 60 plant enzyme processes and other biochemical reactions including the production of sugars and starches. Potassium helps build turf by strengthening cell walls, increasing winter hardiness and drought resistance. As approximately 60% of stored potassium can be removed in any one mowing and many sand greens are incapable of retaining soil-applied potassium, it is important that potassium is applied regularly.

The main role of potassium within the plant is as a water regulator and in this role it influences many plant processes. It is particularly important in the regulation of cell water content, cell turgidity and is therefore important to help maintain a healthy, hardwearing sward.


Throughout the year 0.25 litres/green, 5 litres/ha Repeat every 2-3 weeks

Folex N

Nitrogen is probably the most responsive nutrient applied to turf. Best results are usually achieved following regular applications, adjusted for weather and seasonal conditions. Applying solid nitrogen can be difficult; it leaves a residue on the green that can impair play and accurate application can be difficult. Folex N is a concentrated liquid nitrogen with a high level of turf safety and feeds the turf through both foliar and root uptake, providing a rapid and long lasting greening response.

The key advantages of Folex N include rapid and accurate application, which is only possible with a sprayer. It leaves no residues on treated surfaces, so no risk of impeding play or being removed. A single sprayer fill is normally all that’s needed to rapidly treat all tees and greens in a clean and effective application. Folex N is also widely used for sports fields and outfield areas.


Throughout spring and summer 1.0 litre/green, 20 litres/ha Also used to maintain colour in winter

A unique foliar-applied high analysis potassium feed with turbo power and micro nutrients. As well as potassium, Super K contains liquid energy that is rapidly absorbed by the turf to boost growth and vigour. Super K also stimulates soil biological activity, helping create a beneficial healthy soil environment with reduced risk of disease and enhanced nutrient availability.

Treated turf is revitalised and boosted with the health benefits of potassium and regular treatment ensures turf potassium levels are maintained without the risk of potassium loss from the soil. Super K is ideal for autumn and winter application, helping create and maintain a healthy, hardened turf.

Highly managed turf often receives careful attention to the macronutrient requirements of nitrogen and potassium, but micronutrient requirements can be overlooked. Although required in very small quantities, micronutrients are just as important as macronutrients in maintaining a healthy, hardwearing sward. Sand greens effectively contain no micronutrients in the rootzone, making application of a range of micronutrients vital.

Micromex is a high quality foliar turf treatment containing the full range of trace elements required to correct

deficiencies and maintain healthy, balanced growth. It can be applied as a standalone application or conveniently tank-mixed with most of the OMEX Amenity Range.

Much like taking multivitamin tablets, an application of Micromex provides turf with a wide spectrum of micronutrients to keep it healthy and to reduce the risk of deficiency symptoms showing in the sward, and the foliar application is rapidly absorbed for instant results.


To maintain micronutrient levels 50 ml/green, 1.0 litre/ha Repeat every month during growth period


Autumn 1.0 litre/green, 20 litres/ha Excellent autumn hardener

Magnesium Plus

Magnesium plays a major role in the process of capturing sunlight and converting it into healthy growth. It is highly mobile within the turf leaves and as a result, older leaves tend to show loss of colour and other symptoms of deficiency. Magnesium also plays a key role in moving sugars from the leaves to feed the roots.

Most rootzones are naturally low in magnesium and application of some magnesium fertilisers can increase soil pH, to the detriment of sward composition.

Magnesium Plus is formulated with manganese, nitrogen and sulphur to provide a complete feed which maximises the uptake of magnesium.


When magnesium required 125 ml/green, 2.5 litres/ha Repeat as required

SuperMn

Manganese is the most common micro nutrient deficiency in the UK and as well as having an effect on the appearance of the sward, manganese deficiency can leave the grass more susceptible to Take All and generally impaired growth.

Many manganese products simply contain manganese, which can be difficult for the grass to use efficiently. By formulating SuperMn with other nutrients and a unique carbohydrate-based energy boost, manganese uptake has been shown to be better and plant responses are improved. SuperMn also contains magnesium, nitrogen and sulphur plus the equivalence of 1 hour of sunshine to provide a boost in growth to aid rapid uptake of the manganese.

Sulphomex

Sulphur is an important nutrient for turf and is needed in sufficient quantities to ensure nitrogen is used efficiently and turf colour is maintained. The number of fertiliser products containing sulphur has declined in recent years so regular doses of sulphur are not being applied and the rootzone of most greens is not able to retain or supply sulphur. As a result, if sulphur is not applied regularly, nitrogen is not used efficiently creating two issues; poor turf growth and an increased risk of disease.

The mobility of sulphur in plants is also poor, so yellowing tends to occur in the newer leaves. Foliar application

of Sulphomex is most effective at correcting deficiency symptoms rapidly as it rapidly enters the sward and rapidly reaches all parts of the plant.

Sulphomex contains a high level of sulphur, formulated in two forms, for instant delivery and for slower release maintenance of sulphur levels. It also contains nitrogen to ensure that the sulphur is used efficiently in the sward to produce strong, healthy growth. It will mix with most of the OMEX Amenity and Fine Turf range, allowing targeted doses of sulphur to be made with most applications.


Throughout the year 0.5 litres/green, 10 litres/ha Repeat every 2-3 months


When manganese required 125 ml/green, 2.5 litres/ha Repeat as required

Bio18

Bio18 combines the benefits of naturally occurring kelp with an iron-rich balanced nutrient feed, provided by a full range of macro, secondary and micro elements. The biostimulants and nutrients found in Bio18 produce improvements in root growth and the concentrated nutrient package ensures that the enhanced rooting is supported by healthy vigorous growth. Bio18 is often used to the best effect when the sward is under stress or during periods of

slower growth. It is used as a foliar fertiliser on all sward compositions to aid colour and increase vigour and growth. In many situations, effects will be seen within hours of application as the biostimulant package within Bio18 works within the leaf, opening up foliar nutrient access for a short period allowing the nutrients to pass into the leaf more rapidly than conventional foliar feeds.

A soil amendment which helps establish a healthy soil microflora, which in turn improves rooting and nutrient uptake. Biomex Starter is a suspension of spores of the bacteria Bacillus amyloliquefaciens which, when applied to soil, leads to the rapid development of a healthy network of microbial growth in the soil, which can help grass roots become less susceptible to pathogen attack due to improved soil health.

Plants grown in soil treated with Biomex Starter have shown improved germination and rooting, increased vigour and health and reduced disease incidence. Biomex colonises the roots of the turf, making it more difficult for pathogens to infect the roots and helping solubilise minerals in the soil to make them available for uptake.


Bio K

Bio K combines the benefits of naturally occurring kelp with potassium and nitrogen plus a full range of micronutrients. In addition to being an important source of potassium, the sulphur-free formulation and tailored combination of ingredients builds protection against stress and the resulting growth creates a healthy sward which is more

resistant to infection by dollar spot. Bio K also includes calcium, which further builds turf health and also improves nitrogen utilisation. Formulated specifically for turf, Bio K also contains high levels of iron to enhance colour and improve sward strength.

Kelpak

Kelpak is a kelp concentrate which is manufactured using a unique Cell Burst process without heat, chemical digestion or dehydration. This patented process ensures maximum retention of the auxins and cytokinins found in this species of kelp. Kelpak also contains a wide range of nutrients, vitamins and amino acids.

Kelpak is not like any other seaweed product as it is a concentrate, produced using a unique cold process which avoids damaging the natural growth hormones. Independent trials and extensive university research have elucidated the mode of action. Being rich in auxins, it produces exceptional root growth following application, which in turn produces a flush of healthy top growth.

Greenkeepers routinely apply Kelpak to encourage vigorous root growth, improving the uptake of nutrients and resisting stress, especially those caused by root diseases. Regular application maintains a vibrant and healthy sward with less need for application of fungicides and other chemical treatments.

Ferrokelp

Ferrokelp combines a powerful biostimulant with iron and nitrogen and is used to enhance turf colour and hardness, while boosting root growth. It is very effective as a rapid greening agent to improve turf colour prior to events without the risk of scorch associated with simple iron sulphate. Ferrokelp is also leaf-fast once dry, minimising the risk of foot travel and unwanted sward staining commonly associated with iron sulphate.

The biostimulant component is processed by the patented Cell Burst technique, which concentrates the rooting benefits of freshly harvested Giant Kelp to maintain excellent rooting stimulation at low rates of use. The combined formulation of biostimulant plus iron and nitrogen boosts a healthy sward which can be less susceptible to Fusarium patch and the product is also used on outfields to boost overall sward appearance.

Tried and tested on turf and crops all over the world, Green Cross is a highly effective, super concentrated foliar nutrient, which stimulates healthy plant growth without adversely affecting root zone mycorrhizal fungi. Green Cross boosts the natural defence mechanisms in turf to provide natural resistance to a range of diseases including Fusarium, Dollar Spot, Pythium, Powdery Mildew, Botrytis, Phytopthora and a range of other bacterial diseases.

Green Cross differs from conventional foliar fertilisers because in addition to potash and micronutrients, it contains the active ingredient phosphite.

Phosphite has unique benefits for plants. When applied to turf it stimulates healthy growth, which increase turf resistance to disease and reduces the need for fungicides. Although Green Cross contains phosphorus it is not a conventional P-fertiliser. It doesn’t act as a phosphate nutrient and does not increase soil P levels, simply acting directly on the plant through foliar uptake. Application of Green Cross results in a healthy, vigorous sward which is more resistant to disease attack. Since it is not a fungicide Green Cross can be applied by any operators, without a requirement for certification and it is ideal for applications where golf courses and sports pitches are attempting to reduce their reliance on pesticides.

P-Phite Turf is a highly effective, high performance foliar nutrient which is radically different from conventional foliar fertilisers.It contains phosphorus in both phosphate and phosphite forms, with potassium, magnesium, manganese and zinc. As well as providing well known nutritional benefits, P-Phite Turf increases vigour and stimulates plant health. The addition of organic biostimulants improves nutrient uptake and stimulates root action. Benefits include the improved uptake of cations (e.g. Ca, Mg, Mn) and increased mobility within the plant.

Phosphite has further benefits for plants. When applied to turf it stimulates healthy growth, reducing the need for fungicides and increasing turf resistance to disease. P-Phite Turf, with it’s unique blend of phosphite and phosphate, supplies a low

level of plant-available phosphate, enough to feed the root growth triggered by the phosphite ingredients but not enough to increase the soil P levels. Application of P-Phite Turf results in a healthy, vigorous sward which resists disease attack. Since P-Phite Turf is not a fungicide it can be applied by any operators, without a requirement for certification and it is ideal for applications where courses are attempting to reduce their reliance on pesticides

Should disease become established on turf it is now possible to further boost sward health with application of Green Cross, a foliar nutrient based on bio-active forms of zinc and copper, which boost the plant’s natural ability to shrug-off disease.

TurfGard is a naturally based plant health promoter based on garlic extract and kelp that deters a range of pests and helps the plant to overcome symptoms of pest attack.

TurfGard is not a pesticide and has no pesticidal activity but makes the crop less attractive to attack. The strong odour associated with garlic extract in TurfGard creates an

environment around leaves and roots that is uninviting to a range of pests.

The addition of kelp rich in auxin stimulates the plant to produce new roots, which helps the plant to overcome symptoms of soil borne pest attack.


For improved turf health 150 ml/green, 3 litres/ha Apply every 3-4 weeks. Add NA13 at 0.1% of spray volume for improved uptake and rain fastness.


Prior to the onset of pest infestation

100 ml/green, 2 litres/ha Use up to 1000 litres/ha water. Repeat every 14-21 days. Add SW7 at 0.1% of spray volume for improved coverage

Biostimulants and Turf Health

A phosphate stabiliser used to extend the availability of phosphate in the soil, reducing immobilisation and loss of fertiliser efficiency. Polymex is based on thermal poly aspartate and forms a complex with phosphate in the soil to protect it from becoming insoluble and unavailable to plant roots. It is particularly effective during turf establishment and in situations where a phosphate deficiency has been

identified. Polymex can be tank-mixed with any of the OMEX phosphate products or simply sprayed onto soil or turf prior to spreading solid fertiliser.

Application of Polymex on its own can help increase the availability of phosphate that is already present in the root zone, without the need to apply more phosphate fertiliser.

Didin®

A flexible nitrogen additive that extends the release of available nitrogen in the rootzone to maintain turf colour and avoid flushes of growth, reducing the risk of disease and improving longevity of nitrogen response. Didin works as a nitrification inhibitor and when added to a liquid nitrogen feed, such as Foliar High N, or applied to turf before spreading solid nitrogen it delays the conversion of urea and ammonium nitrogen in the soil, effectively converting the fertiliser into a slow release product.

Didin breaks down safely in the soil over time and leaves no residues. It extends the supply of plant-available nitrogen over 2-3 months, reducing the need for frequent applications of nitrogen, and reducing the risk of nitrate leaching and water pollution.


Prior to applying nitrogen 600 ml/green, 12 litres/ha Apply between 1-5 days before nitrogen

Polymex®


NA13 is a nutrient spray additive, used to maximise the uptake of most foliar nutrients. It is recommended for tank-mix application with Green Cross and P-Phite Turf, to maximise the uptake of the active ingredient into the turf and ensure maximum root growth. NA13 acts as a powerful surfactant, spreading the nutrients evenly over and round the sprayed surface, ensuring it is absorbed rapidly and effectively and improving rainfastness.

Trials comparing plant responses with and without NA13 have shown better results and greater nutrient efficiency where it is used, producing a bigger increase in rooting and more effective nutrient uptake.

Pack size - 1 litre

SW7

SW7 is a silicon based wetter, designed to ensure enhanced uptake of foliar nutrients. It also supplies silicon to the turf, improving cell strength and resilience to attack by pests, such as frit fly.

Silicon is widely recognised as a beneficial element for plant growth. Following application, it is transported in the xylem and deposited in the epidermal cells in the turf

leaves. Once in the cells, it complexes with calcium in the cell walls and acts as a physical strengthener and also helps alleviate abiotic and biotic stress.

SW7 is extremely plant safe, and higher rates of application can help improve water penetration and help manage localised dry patches and issues of water penetration caused by hydrophobic soil conditions.

Surefoot

A turf-safe and chloride-free liquid deicer for use on footpaths, car parks and any other hard surface to prevent and clear ice and snow. It starts melting ice immediately after application; unlike solid deicers which need to dissolve in water before becoming active. It is supplied in easy to handle drums which stack neatly and safely for simple storage. Any unused deicer can be poured back into the drum and stored indefinitely.

As well as being simple to handle and apply, Surefoot is effectively non-corrosive, unlike salt. Salt damages concrete and paving and can be slow acting and messy to apply. Surefoot is also safe near grass and vegetation. Surefoot maintains effective ice control to lower temperatures than salt, remaining active down to

temperatures as low as -50°C; salt is generally in-effective below -7°C .

Application is straightforward. Pour straight from the drum into your choice of applicator. For small areas the most convenient way is often via a watering can, using a fine rose.

For larger areas, application by standard sprayer is ideal, from simple hand-pumped garden sprayers to more sophisticated knapsack sprayers with hand held booms. For the professional user, application with the Allen Paddockmaster or the Techneat Acuspray is rapid and efficient, allowing large areas to be treated in minutes. For extensive areas, application with standard turf sprayers is the ideal method of rapidly treating large areas.

A ready-to-use non corrosive and safe liquid deicer. Unlike salt, it actually benefits any trees and grass it contacts. It is ideal for application in parks and gardens and is no more corrosive than water, offering a clean, rapid method of preventing and clearing ice and frost.

Application through any sprayer provides quick and accurate application and means existing equipment is used more efficiently throughout the year.

A non-corrosive alternative to salt, based on granular sodium formate. Isomelt is applied with standard salt-spreading equipment at similar rates to salt but offers much lower impact than salt. It is less damaging to vegetation and fixtures than salt, and it works to much lower temperatures. Isomelt is pleasant and easy to handle and

it can be used as an anti-icer, applied in advance of an ice forecast or a deicer, to clear existing ice.

If clearing snow, as with all deicers,clear as much snow by mechanical means (shovelling and ploughing) as possible before application.


Before ice and snow 25g/m2 To clear existing ice, apply 50 g/m2
