Sustane

Sustane 8-2-4 All Natural Organic

All natural organic 85% slow release nitrogen fertilizer. Allowed for use on certified organic food and fiber crops.

Packaging

  • 50# bags, 40 bags per pallet

General Application Rates

  • 50 lb. covers 4000 sq. ft. @ 12.5 lb./1000 sq. ft.
  • 25 kg. covers 400 sq. meters. @ 6.25 kg/100 sq. meters

Key Benefits

  • Sustane fertilizers are based on the knowledge that the best way to maintain quality turf is to develop and maintain a healthy soil.
  • While synthetic fertilizers supply plant growth nutrients, they do not supply the organic matter required to maintain quality turf. In recent years turfgrass managers have increasingly turned to natural organic fertilizers for use on high maintenance turf.
  • Benefits of using composted natural fertilizers include reduced thatch buildup, reduced soil compaction, reduced nitrate and pesticide movement, increased levels of soil organic matter and reductions in the incidence and severity of certain turfgrass diseases.
  • It is the disease suppression that offers the greatest potential impact on turfgrass management. It does provide a cost-effective alternative to traditional fungicide disease control programs.
  • Not all "organic" fertilizers are the same. Most organic fertilizers provide undecomposed organic material, not humus. Many sewage sludge, meal products and manure-based products undergo high heat sterilization treatments. This process can kill off most of the beneficial and natural microorganisms.
