New biological solution for the Chafer Bug problem in grassland; the unique Target Set GLi™ system of directly injecting garlic based liquid bio pesticides
Applications
Turf growers, sports amenity operators, golf courses, parklands,
lawn maintenance contractors and grassland growers are some of
the many potential customers.
How Does it Work?
Using new technologies, together known as Target Set Grassland Injection™ (GLi™)
enables the injection of bio products, nutrients and fertilizer, at high pressures
(8-10 bars), directly into the grass root area, using large diameter serrated
disc slitters, and special DABb unique profile injectors.
Chafer Bug Control
Target
Set Technology cooperates with ECOspray, a world leader
in botanical bio pesticide research and development. The company
holds a group of authorisations for nematicidal actives based around
the chemistry of garlic. Their product EGC, has been specially
developed as a nematicide for use in sports turf to reduce the
build in populations of damaging plant parasitic nematodes. EGC
is widely used to treat many premiership and championship football
grounds.
Liquid Fertilizer Injection
Direct injection of liquid fertilizer with GLi™ has proven to offer significant
advantages over conventional systems through the direct nature of the application,
and through timeliness.
Recommendations specify that Bio-N needs to be applied to soils with plenty of
air, to then allow it to fix 50-100kg/ha of nitrogen to the crop. This is why
the Target Set GLi™ grassland injector is the ideal machine to apply Bio-N. The
injectors apply these beneficial micro-organisms directly into the root zone
where they will thrive. At the same time the injector aerates the soil, so not
only are you applying your soil biology in the perfect conditions you are also
helping create the perfect conditions.
Contracting Service
Target Set Technology operates two contracting teams using a grassland
tyre equipped tractor, and a Target Set GLi™ 160 with a 1.60 metre
working width.
Target Set Technology would be more than happy to talk to growers about
their specific needs, and to tailor application programs and machinery
accordingly.
