How Blaukorn works

Each homogeneous Blaukorn granule contains all of the nutrients declared in the analysis ensuring even distribution after application. With no carrier and a highly-water soluble phosphorus content, Blaukorn breaks down quickly once it comes into contact with moisture.

Blaukorn contains ammonium and nitrate, the two most available nitrogen forms for fast response at low soil temperatures. The potassium utilised in Blaukorn is potassium sulphate, which has a much lower salt index and therefore scorch risk than other forms of potassium, such as potassium chloride.

High analysis - low application rate flexibility

Blaukorn 24-5-5 can be applied as low as 20g/m2 and this still offers 48kg of
nitrogen per hectare, - the equivalent to applying a traditional 9-7-7 analysis
at over 50g/m2. A lower application rate means fewer bags applied per
hectare, involving less storage, transportation and manpower.

Optimum granule characteristics

The granulation of Blaukorn has been refined, compared to the original
Nitrophoska product and now 90% of the granules are between 2.0 - 4.0mm, with the average granule size range between 2.8 and 3.4mm. This provides optimum spreading characteristics whether applied through a pedestrian or tractor-mounted spreader. Granule breakdown is also exceptionally fast due to the use of more highly soluble raw materials. As an added benefit, the granules are dyed blue to increase visibility during application.

Optimum nutrient package

Both Blaukorn analyses feature immediately available ammonium and nitrate nitrogen, derived from ammonium nitrate and ammonium sulphate, to ensure a fast turf response even during cool spring and autumn temperatures. The phosphorus content is derived from phosphoric acid for quicker availability to the grass plant and the potassium from sulphate of potash for maximum turf safety. Blaukorn products also feature the important secondary plant nutrients - sulphur and magnesium as well as micronutrients, boron, iron and zinc.

Low salt index

Many outfield fertilisers utilise potassium chloride as their potassium source, but although cheaper, this has a higher scorch risk to the grass plant. Scorch risk is measured by the salt index of the fertiliser, - the higher the salt index, the higher the scorch risk. Potassium chloride has a salt index of 116, whereas potassium sulphate (the form used in Blaukorn) has a salt index of only 46 In practice this can be up to 60% safer to the grass plant.
