NuGreen
The New Zealand Sports Turf Institute (NZSTI) has investigated the use of NuGreen® as an amendment for sand based sports turf (golf courses, sports stadiums etc.). The NuGreen® brand, when added at 10% on a volume basis to PGA golf specification sand does not influence water infiltration rates. NZSTI experiments and our own lab and field trials have shown that NuGreen® additions increase germination rates, enhance sward establishment and reduce irrigation and fertilizer requirements. The addition of NuGreen® to sand at the Westpac Wellington Stadium, Waikato Stadium in Hamilton playing surface as well as serveral well established Golf coarses such as the Grange, Mill Brookeand Jacks Point is testament to confidence in its performance.
