Local Dry Patch Programme
This programme is designed to prevent LDP occuring during the summer and is recommended by Jonathan Harmer MD of Aquatrols Farmura. The method was used for the first time by Letchworth and Nailsea Croquet Clubs in 2016 and it proved to be 100% successful. Both suffered badly from LDP in 2015 so this will be a good test of effectiveness.
1/. Aquatrols Aqueduct
Aquatrols Aqueduct is applied twice in spring with a fortnight between applications. This will eliminate any water repellency early in the season and allow rain water and irrigation to penetrate thus maximising water reserves.
Apply twice in March/April.
Dilution 2 litres of Aqueduct in 50 litres of water = 820sqm (I croquet lawn)
2/. Aquatrols Revolution
Apply at monthly intervals in May, June, July, August and September. Can be tank mixed with liquid fertiliser and growth regulator.
Dilution 1.6 litres Revolution in 50 litres of water covers 820 sqm
3/. Cost of programme
The cost per lawn of used product is around £365 per lawn per annum including VAT. Aqueduct comes in 1 litre and 10 litre containers but the minimum container size of Revolution is 10 litres. So you may have to buy more Revolution than you need for one season as shown below.
1 lawn 4 litres of Aqueduct plus 10 litres of Revolution = £363.60 (2 litres Rev over)
2 lawns 8 litres of Aqueduct plus 20 litres Revolution = £691.20 (4 litres Rev over)
3 lawns 12 litres Aqueduct and 30 litres Revolution = £1066.88 (6 litres Rev over)
4 lawns 16 litres Aqueduct and 40 litres Revolution = £1430.40 (8 litres Rev over)
Prices can change so please check before ordering. I have allowed 820sqm per lawn ie 35 yards by 28 yards.
