While local governments focus on fertilizer restrictions and reducing nutrient run-off, Florikan E.S.A (Environmentally Sustainable Agriculture) Corporation of Sarasota offers an option that meets the demands of Florida?EUR??,,????'???s landscape community and the concerns of local government. Together with University of Florida IFAS Principal Investigator J. B. Sartain, Florikan says the research shows that one application of its 6 month turf fertilizer resulted in same quality green color, healthier turf with more nutrient uptake, and less potential leaching of nutrients..
Dr. Sartain studied the effects of 1 application of Florikan 6 Month Turf Fertilizer versus the conventional use of 3-6 applications of conventional fertilizers. The research concluded that a similar quality of St. Augustine turf resulted from a single application of Florikan 6 Month fertilizers at 2LB of Nitrogen when compared to six 1 lb. applications of soluble forms of nitrogen and three applications of 1LB of Sulfur-Coated forms of Nitrogen. Dr. Sartain states that ?EUR??,,????'??Florikan?EUR??,,????'???s fertilizer leached a lesser amount of Total Nitrogen versus the standard turf fertilizers over the cumulative 6 month period.?EUR??,,????'?? This should equate to less potential nutrient run-off in our coastal areas.
?EUR??,,????'??Landscapers and Consumers can now easily comply with local fertilizer ordinances?EUR??,,????'??, says Ed Rosenthal, CEO of Florikan, E.S.A. Property owners now can fertilize once with a 6 month turf and landscape fertilizer before the summer restrictions are in place, reducing inputs, save money in labor, comply with regulations, and most importantly practice good environmental stewardship of southwest Florida?EUR??,,????'???s natural coast.
?EUR??,,????'??Florikan is a fertilizer company actively trying to educate the landscape industry to use less fertilizer to reduce the landscape industry?EUR??,,????'???s impact on the environment,?EUR??,,????'?? Rosenthal goes on to say.
Florikan, E.S.A Corp and its Dynamite Plant Food brand have been awarded the Gulf Guardian Award and the Most Innovative New Product of the United States from the National Society of Engineers.
