Turf SituationSierraform® GT
Slow release potassium – a body building course for your greens
Sierraform GT is an improved version of the familiar Sierraform. Its unique dual effect combines both slow-release nitrogen and slow-release potassium.
The strength of slow-release potassium is that it’s released throughout the effective period, whenever the grass plant needs it. Leaf analysis has shown a significant difference between Sierraform GT and fertilisers that do not contain slow-release potassium.
The result is a stronger grass plant that’s more resistant to cold, heat, drought and intensive wear – all year round.
Key features and benefits
- Dual effect thanks to slow-release nitrogen and slow-release potassium
- Maintains a higher bank of ‘available K’ in the sand/soil profile
- Small, physically uniform granules for even spreading, quick dispersion and minimal mower pick up
- Chemically uniform NPK + TE contained in every granule
- Optimum protection against stress: cold, heat, drought and wear. Proven increased efficiency of turf water consumption
- Guaranteed even growth and even colour
- Safe to use (no scorching) and virtually no leaching
- Slow release fertiliser mechanism not affected by mechanical cultivation techniques (aeration etc.)
- Disease activity is reduced. Recovery from disease is accelerated.

Case Study
Tried and tested – unique turf for the Titans' field of dreams
The new NRL team, Gold Coast Titans, is playing in a new stadium where the real crowd pleaser is under the posts – a grass that took two years of testing and trials to be deemed the best turf for the job.
Home to the new NRL team the Gold Coast Titans, the new 27,000 seat Skilled Park stadium features innovative landscape and environmental design, thanks in part to the persistence and vision of Peter Cronin, the Ground Supervising Manager, who has been with the project from day one.
“We had 1.1 hectares of turf area to be covered that had to withstand a number of sports and other events,” explains Peter. “We started with 22 grasses and tested and trialled and got it down to a final eight.”
