Granuform + Silica: Invisible Defense, Visible Results

In fine turf care, balance is everything, between nutrition, stress tolerance, growth and aesthetics. Granuform silica turf fertilizer delivers exactly that. With its 16+0+22+2MgO+4Si composition, it’s more than a fertilizer: it’s a silent powerhouse that strengthens turf from the inside out.

Why Silica (Si)?

Silicon isn’t classified as an essential nutrient like nitrogen or potassium. But its benefits? Far from optional. Once absorbed by the roots, silica travels through the xylem and is deposited into the cell walls, acting as a microscopic shield.

  • Stronger plant cell structure
  • Enhanced resistance to disease and environmental stress
  • Improved mowing quality and upright growth
  • Greater wear tolerance and recovery speed

Thanks to the addition of 4% Si, this Granuform formulation goes beyond conventional SRF products. The slow and consistent nutrient release also includes silica, supporting continuous plant fortification from the inside out.

What does it mean on the field?

• Reduced incidence of foliar diseases, including Pyricularia grisea (gray leaf spot)
• Denser turf canopy with greater resilience
• Harder, more robust leaf blades that resist tearing or wilting
• Consistent turf performance, even under high-stress conditions

“Greens treated with Granuform + Si show a firmer surface, improved ball roll, and better recovery after wear,” shared one greenkeeper from Scandinavia.

Ideal for fine turf

Granuform 16+0+22+2MgO+4Si is formulated for use on:

  • Golf greens and tees
  • Bowling greens
  • Short-cut football or hockey fields
  • Any sports surface where precision meets performance

Alongside calcium, magnesium and iron, the addition of silica strengthens plant structure and resilience. It also stimulates lignin biosynthesis, which enhances cell wall elasticity, crucial for both growth and mowing tolerance.
