When it comes to achieving a lush, green lawn, choosing the right fertilizer is paramount. Contec DG® 18-3-18 stands out as a professional-grade lawn fertilizer designed to meet the needs of lawn enthusiasts and professionals alike. In fact, for nearly 20 years, Contec DG has been the industry leader in dry-applied nutrition for greens, tees, and other fine turf for professional turf managers.
Benefits of the DG Technology and Small Particle Combo
1. Enhanced Root Zone Penetration:
The DG Technology incorporated in Contec DG® 18-3-18 ensures that nutrients penetrate deeply into the root zone. This allows for better nutrient uptake, promoting stronger and healthier root systems, which are essential for a vibrant lawn.
2. Superior Coverage: The small particle size of Contec DG® 18-3-18 means more particles per square inch, resulting in superior coverage. This uniform distribution ensures that every part of your lawn receives the nutrients it needs, preventing patchy growth and promoting even greening.
3. Ideal for Low-Height Turf: Dense turf maintained at a low-height, such as Bermudagrass, can be particularly challenging to find the right fertilizer for. When using fertilizers with standard particle sizes it's easy for particles to get caught in the turf canopy where they can cause foliar burning or damage. With both small particles and DG Technology, Contec DG® 18-3-18 particles don't get caught up on the leaf blades or thatch and nutrients are able to reach their intended destination.

Homogenous Granules
Another benefit of Contec DG® 18-3-18 is that it is made as a homogenous granule. When looking in your typical bag of blended fertilizer, you may notice some variation in the particle color, shape or size. This is evidence of the different nutrients combined to create the formula. Alternatively, in a homogenous granular fertilizer, each particle contains that nutrient combination within it. A benefit to homogenous fertilizers is the nutrients are released at a steady rate.
