Athletic Fields

Milorganite has long been an integral part of sports field maintenance, included in the preparation for many Super Bowls. Whether used as a bulking agent, drying agent for pre-germinated seed or as a slow release nutrient source, Milorganite helps promote dense turf with deep roots for a safe and true playing surface.

In regions where killing frosts can be expected, avoid nitrogen applications to warm-season grasses in the fall less than one month prior to the average date of the first killing frost. For best results, fertilize when over-seeding with cool-season grasses.

All rates are monthly except dormant which is annual. Summer applications are monthly, all others are annual.
