[QUOTE="Great In Grass, post: 3557120, member: 79"] [B][SIZE=4]DLF’s ProNitro® used on all their agricultural overseeding grass mixtures has been nominated for Innovation Award 2017 the new nitrogen seed coating technology from DLF, is one of three nominations for a prestigious innovation award. The Innovation Award “Innovatieprijs Sportaccommodaties” is intended to stimulate new concepts in the sports sector. The Dutch Trade Association for Sport and Cultivation Technology BSNC (Branchevereniging Sport en Cultuurtechniek) and two other organizations behind the award want by this award to strengthen the focus on innovation in business, clients and users. Among the 12 entries, the jury made its evaluations based on originality and creativity, the reason for the innovation, practical value, promotion, discipline and effectiveness.

[B]Seed coating is a cost-effective, precision approach[/B] There’s very little waste when you coat a seed in nitrogen. The fertilizer feeds the seed not the weeds that surround it. It’s a time-saver too. You sow the seed and the fertilizer in one operation instead of two. Since the grass plants grow faster, they take up nutrients more quickly. A field sown with nitrogen-coated seeds produces less nutrient run-off and environmental impact than one that’s subject to a traditional scattergun application of fertiliser.
