The Turfmagic System provides the application of all-natural and organic nutrients via an existing irrigation system automatically every time you water. This process of combining fertilization and irrigation is known as fertigation and has been used in commercial applications such as agriculture and golf courses for over 40 years.

• Turfmagic stimulates deeper root development

• Turfmagic produces hardier and healthier plants which consequently allows turf and landscape to be more drought and pest resistant.

• Turfmagic Systems can provide a substantial water use reduction.

• Turfmagic Systems can be easily installed into existing irrigation systems

• Turfmagic Systems require no additional electricity to power the system.

Save Water. Save Time. Save Plants.

System Features:

A basic installation is made by cutting a section of pipe out of an existing water line and putting in a bypass section with 3 gate valves: A, B, C. The bypass section can be purchased from Turfmagic as an “installation kit,” or you can build your own using standard pvc fittings and brass gate valves.

Benefits of Fertigation

› Water conservation: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) says that more than 50% of water used to irrigate landscapes is wasted, and provides no benefit whatsoever to landscapes. Microfertilization

applied properly through fertigation, using micro amounts of fertilizer in combination with proven organic additives, promote root growth and strength. A deeper, denser root system uses water and nutrients more efficiently.

› Reduced labor expenses: Light feeding through fertigation will control plant growth rate, and the injection rate can be adjusted down to keep the growth rate to a minimum while maintaining rich plant color. This will allow mowing intervals to be set as far apart as possible, and prevent the necessity of hauling off excessive cuttings, which can be costly.

› Improved turf quality: Light and continual feeding improves the health and appearance of the landscape while avoiding surge growth. Why would anyone, especially a maintenance contractor, want the grass to grow so rapidly that they have to mow more than once a week, especially in the spring when it's difficult to keep up with the work? In addition to labor cost, think of the extra clippings — not to mention the emissions from the maintenance equipment when over-fertilized lawns grow too fast.

› Reduced pesticide use: A healthy landscape is more resistant to disease, insects and weeds. This is possible through fertigation. The best way to force weeds out is by having thick, healthy turfgrass. Insects and disease attack plants that are succulent or stressed.Keeping plants healthy in their optimum growth with thick cell walls also minimizes sources of stress.

› Reduced non-point-source pollution (NPSP): Studies have shown that plants never get to use much of the granular fertilizer applied to landscapes, and this is especially true when consumers fertilize their own properties. Property owners often do not read fertilizer labels, and when they do, they tend to put down too much — reasoning that if a little bit is good, more is better. Some unused fertilizer leaches through the soil. Fertilizer that ends up on sidewalks or driveways is eventually washed from the property by rain and ends up in streams, ponds and lakes. Applying small — in some cases, micro — amounts of fertilizer with irrigation greatly reduces the likelihood of NPSP.
