Happy New Year everyone!  It’s also Happy New Decade as well.  I really didn’t even think about it being a new decade until New Year’s Eve this year.  It’s crazy how time flies and how busy all of our lives have become.  My colleague, Kurt von Hofen, eloquently wrote all the many changes that have gone within Harrell’s over the past ten years.  There have been many changes in our industry and it continues to evolve in what I believe a very positive direction.  This seems to be the time of year we all re-evaluate things in our lives such as exercise, weight loss, finances, yearly business plans, and the list goes on.  Harrell’s has a very exciting tool that can help you re-evaluate your fertilization and nutrition plan….the POLYON® Polygraph Calculator.  The Polygraph has been around for many years and has been recently updated.  It’s amazing how it gives you, the superintendent, the ability to map your custom POLYON®  blend specific to your property based on your nutrient and longevity requirements - and it’s guaranteed!  

Here are just a few bullet points on the Polygraph and how it can help you:

- Predictable nutrient release through the season.  We put a lot of thought into controlling foliar nutrient rates, why not do the same with granular inputs.

- University research demonstrates a granular + foliar program provides better results than either source alone.

- Our industry will continue to be under an environmental microscope.  Be proactive by using POLYON® as your nutrient source to reduce the potential for environmental effects.

- All properties are different, our ability to custom formulate based on property location and superintendent requirements sets us apart.

- POLYON® performance vs. the polygraph output is guaranteed.

- Turf/plants grow better with consistent nutrition.  Peaks and valleys in nutrition can result from quick release granular sources, inability to get a spray rig on the course due to weather or event scheduling, etc…. having a base fertility source down from POLYON® reduces the impact from these peaks and valleys.  

- Polygraph provides a superintendent control over their granular fertilizer, likely something they don’t have now.

These are just a few points that you can talk to your Harrell’s sales professional about.  We are very happy to help you change, tweak, and/or improve the fertility plan you’re currently using.  As always, thank you for your support and we’re looking forward to a great new year and decade!
