fitted with the correct nozzles. Using low spray volumes, a small knapsack sprayer fitted with a red 80-degree nozzle allows the operator much easier access to narrow pathways where algae often build up.

“Enclean is plant derived, safe to use, and it has no environmental hazard classification. It is fast acting and, once applied, it quickly degrades into natural elements without leaving harmful residue. Using a red 80-degree nozzle and maintaining the correct speed of application, 555m2 of coverage is readily achievable; this is especially important for sprayer contractors who need to limit down-time spent on refilling” he confirms.

The key customer feedback on Enclean that Peter noted is the speed of activity, and the wider range of weather conditions that the biocide can be successfully applied in.

“Many traditional biocides cannot be applied in frosty conditions, or within 24 hours of rain. But with Enclean the application window is much wider, and very good results can be achieved even when temperature and weather conditions are far from perfect. The most important factor is correct dilution and application of the product and a few hours for the spray solution to dry.”

Peter’s positive feedback on the new biocide is based on multiple customer testimonials, including Royal Norwich Golf Club and Plymouth City Council. Peter Todd, Director, and Estates Manager at Royal Norwich Golf Club comments, “During the 2020/21 lockdown the club house patio became covered with algae. Due predominantly to lack of footfall, our high-quality stone slabs had become discoloured and dangerously slippery when wet. We sprayed with Enclean and over the next 2-3 days the algae had been controlled and the wet surface was no longer slippery thus removing a real hazard. Enclean removed the algae completely giving us lasting control, with no detrimental effect on the stone. The treated area remained clean, and the surface regained its original colour despite the cold and wet conditions in Feb/March being less than ideal for biocide application. We also applied the product at the front of the building where the porous surface had a mixture of algae and moss. Again, the control was rapid despite the wet and cold weather conditions. Using a shroud on the knapsack boom allowed us to spray neatly and obtain a sharp edge alongside the fine grass.”

Royal Norwich is now a regular user of this product on hard and porous surfaces. They also use Enclean to keep signage and other golf course equipment in shaded areas free from green growth. This includes the north side of the Turf centre which is shaded and prone to algae infestation which makes the building look unkept.

David Houghton, Team Leader of Plymouth City Council, endorses Mr Todd’s feedback having also used Enclean. David and his team were looking for quick activity and good efficacy. They saw a vast improvement in only 4 hours after application of Enclean, demonstrating the speed of activity from the product when degreening hard surfaces.

“Overall, and after a thorough test, we were very pleased with the results from the Enclean product. We have found a fast-acting biocide that is safe and easy to use. We are now using this product to de-green areas where residents are concerned about the visual appearance and safety of the hard surfaces.”

Summarising the products recent impact on the biocide market Peter concludes, “Enclean looks to have a strong future in the amenity sector. It is just the type of product end users are looking for - Organic, Effective and Reliable and with a cost-competitive cost of application per m2 compared to other methods of de-greening.

MANAGING SOIL HEALTH

Earth & Turf Products is happy to introduce the first ever stand on topdresser! Though there are a variety of uses, this unit targets compost and sand spreading to manage soil health.

Over recent years, our customers have asked for a stand-on version, one that can cover ground faster than walking, that doesn’t require a towing vehicle, and spreads evenly. For 2 years, our engineering team sought out the ideal spreader system and came up with the 415-SP.

This unit is self-propelled, with a stand-on plate on the back. It has a 4-wheel hydrostatic drive system which means you have a motor on each wheel, allowing for 4 wheels to drive if need be. The spreader boasts a 15-cu. ft. hopper that can be heaped to 1 yard of light material and spreads 48” wide at a top speed of 7MPH. The expeller brush spins fast enough to propel material into the grass canopy ahead of you, while stiff bristles regulate the spread.
