A round-up of the latest product news announced in recent weeks
STIHL has expanded its range of high-visibility workwear that offers professionals the very best in comfort and mobility.
The new lightweight MS Protect cut-protective high-visibility jacket and trousers - both available in different sizes - provide professionals with freedom of movement, and are ideal for a range of applications including arb, forestry and landscaping work.
The Protect MS jacket comes with two chest pockets as well as an outlet opening for harnesses on the back. The elbows and shoulders feature thorn protection and breathable ADVANCE cut protection has been included in the chest, shoulder, arm and stomach areas for improved ventilation.
The new Pellenc ULiB 1200 battery and harness has entered the UK market with battery life increased by 20% compared to the ULiB1100 battery. Pellenc is exclusively distributed in the UK and Ireland by Etesia UK.
The ULiB 1200 battery meets all of the professional requirements in terms of performance, comfort and technology, and offers increased autonomy of up to 20% - up to five hours of work with the most energy- consuming Pellenc tools in the range.
The new harness associated with the ULiB 1200 battery reduces the risk of musculoskeletal disorders considerably by a better distribution of the weight and leaves the user free of their movements. The battery is also waterproof to IP54 standards.
The new battery has the highest capacity on the market and is equivalent to 5640 litres of petrol. Pellenc engineers have worked on the balance and ergonomics to ensure power, precision and comfort. This major innovation allows an extended life of 40% and is in line with Pellenc's desire to reduce direct CO2 emissions and guarantee recycling at 80% of the product.
The ergonomics and lightness of the new Pellenc harness offer an optimal level of comfort in use. Its weight is perfectly distributed on the essential axes of back support. 70% of the mass rests on the hips and only 30% on the shoulders. The intuitive adjustment of the entire carrying system, from the straps to the backbone, adapts to any working habits of the user. The battery is also reversible on its harness to facilitate work closer to the ground with the Airion blower.
An HMI display managed by an intelligent processor optimises the use of the battery. It indicates a lot of information such as working time per tool, maximum power delivered by the battery or any fault alerts. In addition, the blinking mode of the screen and reflex reflectors allow the operator to view the display at all times even in dim light.

Designed with ventilation on the back of the thigh and sturdy material at the knee and lower leg, the Protect MS trousers are the perfect accompaniment. With two side pockets, one back pocket, one tape measure pocket and kidney protection, the trousers offer professionals with a functional solution.
The visibility of both the jacket and trousers fall in line with EN ISO 20471 protection class 2, and
achieve class 3 high visibility when combined. Both products also meet class 1 EN 381 cut protection standards for further peace of mind. The trousers are a type A design, so they offer protection at the front of the leg.
Also from Stihl; The new Dynamic BT ear protectors come with built in speakers to help make work more enjoyable, and are perfect for ground based work such as mowing the lawn, grass trimming or hedge-cutting.
Compatible with most mobile phones and tablets, the new wireless ear protectors can be paired to the operator's device using either a Bluetooth 4.0 or AUX connection. To get connected even quicker, the headset features an easy to use three button interface. As well as being designed with high quality speakers, there is also a microphone built in, allowing professionals to take calls while on the go.
Although robust, the headset has been designed to be lightweight to help lower fatigue and promote movement, and the 38 hour battery life gives professionals days of running time before requiring a charge.

Fig 1 - Not All Light Is Useful For Photosynthesis - Some Can Be Harmful / Fig 2 - Ultraviolet Light Can Have Damaging Effects On Photsynthetic Proteins And Plant DNA
New Ryder turf pigment technology from Syngenta offers the chance to instantly enhance the colour and visual appearance of turf, along with exciting properties to protect leaves from the harmful effects of excessive sunlight.
Not all energy emitted by the sun is useful for turf grass growth. In fact, some of this energy can be actually harmful to the plant - effectively causing damaging sunburn to plant cells. Ryder enables plants to manage light more effectively, and to make light work more efficiently for turf.
It is a highly concentrated and stable green pigment designed for use on managed turf to improve its appearance and to help protect against UV radiation and high light intensities.
Photosynthetic Active Radiation (PAR), includes all the ‘colours’ of the light spectrum, of which turf plants use blue and red light most efficiently to support growth and development.
However, plants can only absorb so much light; too much light stresses the plant and can
lead to reduced photosynthetic activity (photo- inhibition) and even harmful damage within pant cells.
Cool season grasses typically reach saturation point at light intensities of just 300 to 500 micromoles. However, on a summer day, sunlight could reach in excess of 2000 micromoles - bombarding plants with up to four times more light than they can physically use.
Ryder application rates at cutting heights below 12mm - eg. greens, tees and cricket fields - have typically been at 0.75 to 1.5 l/ha, increasing to 1.0 to 2.0 l/ha on longer fairway turf or sports fields, for example. Users have experimented with application rate and frequency to find a colour intensity most attractive to their own situation.
When used in conjunction with a Primo Maxx II programme, the reduced clippings removal from mowing would increase the longevity of Ryder results during growing periods
