turfOS. The OS of the green.
For New Construction / Grow-ins: Use NovaTec® Classic at the 45g/m2 rate to ensure maximum Phosphorus availability for root architecture development.
For Seasonal Maintenance: NovaTec® Premium at 35g/m2 provides a balanced 52kg of Nitrogen and a high 70kg of Potassium, ideal for hardening the sward against summer or winter stress.
For Rapid Recovery: NovaTec® N-Max at 25g/m2 delivers a potent 60kg of Nitrogen. Due to the high analysis, lower rates are often sufficient to trigger significant biomass recovery without excessive vertical growth.
Every application includes a balanced suite of essential micronutrients to prevent "hidden hunger":
Boron (B): Enzyme activation.
Iron (Fe): Chlorophyll synthesis and deep greening.
Manganese (Mn): Photosynthetic efficiency (Classic & N-Max).
Zinc (Zn): Growth hormone regulation.
Pro-Tip: Because of the DMPP® Technology, even at the higher 45g rates, the risk of "Nitrate flush" or leaching is significantly lower than standard fertilizers, as the Nitrogen remains in the stable Ammonium form within the soil profile.
1. UNIVERSAL TECHNOLOGY: DMPP NITRIFICATION INHIBITOR (NET)
The core innovation in every NovaTec® product is 3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate (DMPP), a highly targeted molecule that stabilises Nitrogen.
2. PRODUCT FAMILY: ANALYSIS & APPLICATION
While connected by the NET technology, each NovaTec® profile is distinct. Refer to the specific nutrient analyses for targeted applications.
3. GRANULAR PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Consistency in the bag means consistency on the turf. Every NovaTec® product adheres to identical physical specifications.
Granule Type: Completely homogeneous composite granule. Every element is present in every grain (minimises 'speckling' and mower pick-up).
Granule Size Distribution: 2.0–4.0 mm (min. 90% in range).
Uniformity Index: ≥50% (Ensures even, reliable spread pattern).
Bulk Density: Approx. 1000 kg/m3 ±10%.
Storage Stability: Highly resistant to hygroscopicity (clumping/dusting) under proper storage conditions.
In traditional turf management, Nitrogen is volatile. It’s a "leaky" system. The moment standard urea or ammonium hits the soil, nitrifying bacteria (Nitrosomonas spp.) begin converting it into Nitrate (NO3−).
While plants can use Nitrate, it is highly mobile, prone to leaching into groundwater, and causes a "flush" of weak, vertical growth. NovaTec® changes the chemistry of the soil profile.
By utilising the nitrification inhibitor DMPP, NovaTec® keeps Nitrogen in the stable Ammonium (NH4+) form for up to 10 weeks. This shift in the nitrogen cycle creates a fundamental physiological change in the grass plant:
Energy Conservation
Converting Nitrate back into Ammonium inside the plant requires significant metabolic energy. By absorbing Nitrogen as Ammonium directly, the plant saves that energy for root development and carbohydrate storage.
Rhizosphere Acidification
As roots take up Ammonium, they release hydrogen ions (H+), slightly lowering the pH in the immediate root zone. This "unlocks" fixed micronutrients like Iron and Manganese that are often tied up in the soil.
Proactive Growth
Ammonium nutrition promotes the synthesis of phytohormones (like cytokinins), which encourage lateral branching and tillering rather than just "stretching" for the sun.

Performance, Refined.
Whether you are managing a Premier League pitch or a championship golf course, the objective remains the same: Total Control. NovaTec® doesn't just provide nutrients; it provides a window of reliability. You no longer have to worry about the "hunger gap" or the environmental guilt of nitrate leaching. You are simply providing the plant with the right form of energy, at the right time, with surgical precision.
Technical Note: All NovaTec® products feature a uniform granule size (2–4mm), ensuring an even spread pattern and rapid breakdown into the canopy, leaving no "speckling" or mower pick-up.
DMPP (The Intelligence Inside)
Most fertilisers disappear after a week. NovaTec® stays for ten. It’s the difference between a sudden burst of energy and a sustained flow of power.
Stop chasing the mower. NovaTec® encourages lateral tillering and root depth, creating a carpet, not a jungle.

Performance for the surface. Care for the system.
Modern turf management is under the microscope. NovaTec® gives you the data to defend your program."Sustainability isn't a buzzword; it’s a requirement. By inhibiting the conversion of Nitrogen into leachable Nitrates, NovaTec® keeps your nutrients in the soil and out of the water table. It’s better for the course. It’s better for the planet."
