Aviva Stadium, Dublin
As the world’s leading turf fertilizer manufacturer,

Everris’ comprehensive range of turf and
amenity fertilizers deliver outstanding results.
Turf managers across the globe trust our cutting
edge technologies to provide high quality
nutrition for optimum health, performance,
resilience and visual appearance. Our unique
controlled-release fertilizers put you firmly
in control, delivering nutrients accurately
and efficiently when your turf needs them.
Internationally, fertilizer analyses are expressed in both oxide &
elemental form. In Australia & New Zealand we express analyses in
elemental, declaring the element content of a fertilizer. In Europe &
the USA they declare Phosphorus & Potassium in oxide form. The
elemental declaration is always a lower number, this is purely a
difference in expression the nutrient content is exactly the same.
Our ANZ materials express all analyses in elemental form but you
can view the oxide analyses on our website.

Nutrient is combined Uptake nutrients are released over different lengths of time -
within each granule from 2-3 months up to 8-9 months. When applied,
Uptake pressure starts to build up within the granule, forcing
nutrients through the semi-permeable vegetable

levels, pH or bacterial activity, so remains consistent
over a wide range of environmental conditions.

the efficiency of liquid applied fertilizers. It contains

also contains technologies to improve root uptake,
including wetting agents and natural chelating agents
that increase nutrient availability from the fertilizer
