IOG Saltex saw the launch by DJ Turfcare of MO Bacter, an organic fertiliser which also destroys moss without leaving debris.
The product, by Viano of Belgium for whom DJ Turfcare is the sole UK distributor, is a slow-release granular fertiliser which eradicates moss by secondary action, feeds grass and improves the soil. Scarifying after treatment is not necessary.
Moss dies from an excess of potassium but leaves no black debris, the dead moss being digested by the bacteria in MO Bacter (npk: 5-5-20).
The product - which is available for both professional and domestic users - does not stain stonework, patios or paths. It is also harmless to animals and wildlife and won't damage border plants.
A range of turfcare equipment available from the company includes a Golf Bunker Edger, Lawn Edger and Professional Kerb Edger, all from Atom Industries, plus the Plugger aerating machine and the Hambledon Rake & Brush.
