Lawn Nitrogen Deficiency

Check your lawn for poor or patchy growth, pale colour and thin grass coverage.

Nitrogen is an essential element in the healthy growth of all plants including lawn grasses. We usually want a dense, green, lush lawn and nitrogen will encourage this.

• If the symptoms suggest nitrogen deficiency apply an appropriate lawn fertiliser. LawnPro 7-Day-Green is ideally balanced for providing nitrogen to lawn grasses and promoting green, lush dense lawns.
• Then apply LawnPro Lawn Thickener to repair the lawn and fill in patches of dead or affected lawn. It also contains fertiliser with an NPK of 6 : 2.5 : 3.7.

The macro nutrients that plants need in relatively large quantities are nitrogen (N), sulphur (S), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg). But plants also need trace elements in small quantities for healthy growth. Trace elements include; iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), boron (B), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn) and molybdenum (Mo).
