Improve Your Final Lawn Care Rounds

Getting through your final rounds probably feels like a race against the clock, thanks to fewer daylight hours and cooling temperatures. While the time crunch is real, now is the time to prepare your customers’ lawns for winter so they’re set up to thrive in the spring.

Nutrient Efficiency Is Your Priority

Just because top growth is slowing doesn’t mean that growth has stopped. Fall is a vital period for root development, nutrient uptake, and carbohydrate storage.

Keep in mind that applying more fertilizer doesn’t automatically mean the plant will use more of it; it’s important to consider not only which nutrients are being applied, but also how effectively the plant can process those nutrients.

Foliar-Pak’s Armament technology helps reduce nutrient tie-up by protecting nutrients from interactions in the soil that can make them unavailable to the plant. With residual activity lasting approximately 90-120 days, Armament technology can continue supporting nutrient availability throughout the winter and into spring.

Keep Your Program Practical

Late-season applications come with operational and weather challenges, and adding more products or steps can make your already demanding schedule even harder to manage. Now is a good time to evaluate whether every product in your tank is serving a clear purpose, because streamlining your program can help simplify and improve your rounds.

A Simple and Sweet Solution

Foliar-Pak Carbon Complete is purpose-built to make rounds more effective without adding additional work to your plate. It combines many helpful nutrients and compounds (including Armament technology) into one convenient formulation to improve plant performance, color, recovery, and more.

  • Chelated iron delivers more vibrant color and better plant performance
  • Potassium improves water efficiency and carbohydrate transport
  • Blackstrap molasses is used as microbial food, leading to stronger roots
  • Various carbon sources improve soil health
  • Armament technology helps reduce nutrient tie-up and improve nutrient availability
  • Targeted amino acids improve plant performance and stress support

It works with low-volume equipment, won’t stain, and won’t clog nozzles or screens. Plus, it’s tank-mix friendly with most fertilizers, pesticides, and plant growth regulators.

Homeowners often judge treatments by the immediate visual results they see, but some of the most important benefits of applications aren’t necessarily visible right away, or at all. Carbon Complete is an affordable, all-in-one ‘multitool’ that helps you deliver lawns that look great quickly while also giving turf with what it needs to withstand the winter and emerge healthy in the spring.
