Knox Fertilizer Enters Second Season with "One and Done" Campaign for Shaw's Turf Food with Acelepryn and Dimension.

Timesaving product available for spring 2012 provides season-long control of grubs and crabgrass in one early season fertilizer application

Knox, Ind. - Granted EPA registration late in the 2011 planning season, Knox Fertilizer Company is looking to 2012 as a breakout year for its unique combination fertilizer, Shaw's® Turf Food with Acelepryn® and Dimension®. Providing season long control of crabgrass and grubs in one early season application is a timesaver for busy golf course superintendents and lawn-care professionals.

"The launch of this product in 2011 helped fill a need in the market," said Mark Shaw, director of marketing, Knox Fertilizer. "Superintendents and lawn-care professionals have been looking for a more efficient method of fertilizing and controlling common pest and weeds. The "One and Done" message has generated considerable interest and we are busy filling order for the 2012 season."

Available now, Shaw's Turf Food with Acelepryn and Dimension helps eliminate two of the most challenging turfgrass pests while providing balanced plant nutrient needs for as long as 90 to 180 days.

The new plant food-insecticide-herbicide combination is a granular product that is easy to apply with standard equipment to provide excellent, uniform coverage, even in difficult-to-reach areas.

About Acelepryn

Applied before or during egg-laying, but before egg-hatch, Acelepryn insecticide controls all white grub species plus key insect pests, such as annual bluegrass weevil, cutworms, caterpillars and crane flies. It has low impact on non-target organisms.

About Dimension

Dimension herbicide provides excellent preemergence and early postemergence control of all three types of crabgrass - large, smooth and southern species - when applied before crabgrass tillering. Dimension will also control or suppress more than 40 annual grass and broadleaf weeds with exceptional safety to turf grasses.

SurfCote Fertilizers

Shaw's SurfCote brand fertilizers have been developed with the latest CRF technology available to the specialty plant food industry. SurfCote is a patented polymer coating that represents a new era in "smart" fertilizers. With this highly durable and predictable coating turf managers can minimize applications and slowly deliver nutrients to their plants for a period of 4 months or more with confidence.

Control Granules

Shaw's control products deliver pest control remedies such as herbicides, insecticides, or fungicides to a target area via an impregnated inert granule. The granular formulation of these products make it ideal for small or hard to access areas or in places where a liquid application may not be the most efficient means of control.

Fertilizers

Shaw's fertilizer products consist of various physically blended plant nutrient ingredients, that when applied to a turf site provides that plant with its needed requirement of nutrition at an economical cost.

Herbicides

Insecticides

Shaw's combination products are a combination of plant food and a pest control remedy such as an herbicide, insecticide, or fungicide. These products are applied to turf in order to provide uniform delivery of a lawns nutrient and plant protection needs in a single granular application.

Sprayables

Shaw's Water Soluble products are designed to deliver variable nutritional needs based on growers desired application rates. Available in three N-P-K ratios. These high quality soluble products can be used in spoon feeding applications for athletic turf or ornamental plant production. Other uses include supplemental additive to hydoseeding applications and in herbicide spray mixes for the lawncare industry.

Growth Regulators

Cutless® (flurprimidol) is a turf growth regulator. Cutless reduces or slows turf growth, but unlike other PGR products, it doesn't suppress development. Here's why: it grows with shorter internode length (i.e., fully developed cells, but reduced in size). This reduces mowing and grass clippings. And treated turf needs up to 25% less water.

Platinum Fertilizers

Platinum® is formulated from a patented chemistry, to provide more efficient use of essential plant nutrients. Uniform micro-sized pellets release nutrients gradually and consistently, maximizing plant vigor while minimizing over-consumption and leaching.
