TURFGRASS
PROBLEM | CHLORIDE-INDUCED TURF BURN
Turf Burn Avoid Chloride-
Induced Why Turfgrass Producers Are Making the Switch to Protassium+
Many turf producers supply their turfgrass with fertilizers that contain high levels of potassium and chloride. While high potassium content is beneficial, high chloride content oſten leads to turf burn and increased stress. To avoid the detrimental effects of chloride, turf producers have turned to Protassium+™ premium sulfate of potash (0-0-50-17S), a premium K source with more to offer.

SOLUTION | NURTURE WITH PROTASSIUM+TM
THE NEED FOR POTASSIUM
Turfgrass harvest removes up to 160 lbs. of K2 acre of soil1
O per . Without
proper potassium application and replenishment, durability and appearance of turfgrass can be greatly compromised.
TWO ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS
Known as the 4th major nutrient, sulfur serves many essential functions in turf growth, such as chlorophyll formation and enzyme activation2
.
With Protassium+, turfgrass receives 17% of readily available sulfate sulfur, rather than elemental sulfur, which can take weeks or months to convert.
INCREASED STRENGTH
Potassium has a strong influence on improving turfgrass drought tolerance, cold hardiness and disease resistance3
. Containing
50% K, Protassium+ can help cultivate durable, resilient turf4

If poor water quality is present or high salinity exists, Protassium+ is beneficial. With virtually no chloride and a low salt index, Protassium+ does not deposit additional salts into the soil.
