Product Update
A round-up of the latest product news announced in recent weeks
ICL has announced the launch of Gronamic - a new range of organo-mineral fertilisers.
ECHO has introduced a new range of three domestic and semi- professional use double-sided hedgetrimmers: the HC-2020, the HC-2020R and the HC-2320. These hedgetrimmers, which replace existing models, are lighter in weight and feature a reduced emissions engine which has to be a major consideration in present and future times.
With its new engine design for lower emissions and 534mm length cutting blades, you get a hedge trimmer with improved ergonomics and better precision for tackling those small to medium jobs. The Japanese double-edged cutter blades offer sharpness and durability whilst, overall, the hedgetrimmer is balanced and lightweight at just 4.5kg dry weight.
GKB Machines are providing the solution to ground compaction with the launch of the revolutionary GKB Deep Tine Aerator (DTA).
Designed to relieve compaction, the GKB DTA works on natural sports pitches to relieve the surface compaction enabling water to travel through and for stronger roots to develop.
With an adjustable 25-degree heave angle, the GKB DTA’s tine holding system allows users to take control on removing compaction from varying depths up to 16 inches.
Featuring a 3-speed heavy duty gearbox, users can adjust the speed of the tines to create the required hole pattern in the turf and, with its unique tine mounting system, quick changeover for different size tines has never been easier.
In addition, built on the understanding that ‘the worker is king’, GKB Machines ensure that the GKB DTA requires minimal maintenance as it is fitted with a heavy-duty sealed bearings on the crank shaft, ensuring focus is always on improving the ground and less on maintaining the machine.

Developed to meet the demands of the commercial market, the new EGO RotoCut attachment has dual sharpened blades made of high strength alloy steel and a cutting width of 23cm.
Combined with an integrated guard, it is designed to cut close to the ground, quickly and safely in areas where scattering debris could be damaging.
Weighing in at just 1.9kg, it's powered by market-leading 56-volt Arc lithium-ion technology, eliminating the noise and pollution generated by petrol powered equipment. With low vibration rates (1.1/1.5m/s2) and a LpA noise level of 79.3dB(A), it’s ideal for prolonged professional use, especially in built- up areas.
EGO Professional-X RotoCut is a compatible attachment for EGO’s commercial line trimmers and brush cutter (BCX3800, STX3800, ST1530E and BC3800E), which are

The HC-2020R replaces the HCR-1501, offering a rotatable handle version of the HC-2020 double sided hedgetrimmer. It’s a lightweight, highly manoeuvrable double-edged trimmer specifically designed for medium-sized jobs and ideal for domestic users or professionals working on small to medium-sized hedges. The rotatable handle may be a small feature but it makes a huge difference. The 5 position handle allows you to find the most comfortable position for cutting at different angles. The HC-2020R weighs in at just 4.6kg dry weight with an even distribution for optimal comfort and performance. The renowned quality of Japanese blades offers super sharpness making precise and clean trimming a breeze.
Replacing the HC-156, the new ECHO HC-2320 is a lightweight, double-sided hedgetrimmer with an extra-long 639mm blade for tackling larger, taller hedges. The lighter weight and ergonomic construction combine with robust components to give you a rugged yet easy to use hedgetrimmer, again with sharp Japanese blades for precise cutting and higher productivity.
All the new hedgetimmers come with the latest ECHO low-emission engine for cleaner operation and reduced impact on the environment. Each machine has an industry- leading 5-year domestic or 2-year professional warranty.

The Gronamic range comprises various analyses and particle sizes to suit the demands of all types of fine and coarse turf. The range combines the benefits of mineral and organic sources of nutrient to provide consistent and long- lasting growth responses.
The granulation process produces consistent, uniform and dust-free
products. This range allows you to incorporate all the benefits of organic sources of nutrition into your fertiliser programme without
compromising on quality or reliability.
The Gronamic fertilisers utilise organic and mineral nutrient sources to provide a phased consistent release that creates consistent growth responses. The consistent granulation facilitates even spreading and ensures reliable performance.
There are four products in the Gronamic range:
Gronamic Golf - “High N” 16-3-6 +2MgO +2CaO +0.5Fe
Gronamic Golf - “High K” 5-0-22 + 2MgO +1.5CaO +0.5Fe
Gronamic Sport - “High N” 16-3-6 +2MgO +2CaO +0.5Fe
Gronamic Allround - 10-4-5 +2MgO +0.5 Fe
All of the products have a low C:N ratio to ensure optimal nutrient availability (as C:N ratio increases, plant nutrient availability in short term reduces).
The Gronamic range is also part of Turf Rewards - purchasing 25 x 25kg will earn 5 points.
ICL has also announced the launch of SierraformGT CalMag into the UK & Ireland market.
New for 2020, SierraformGT CalMag is a
homogenous slow release fertiliser supplying calcium, magnesium and trace elements for turf growth and all- round plant health.
The product is ideal for fine turf or stadia pitch application through the late spring, summer and early autumn. The
nitrogen content is mostly slow release (MU) based to create a sustained release and steady even growth.
manufactured from durable materials, including an amazingly strong carbon fibre shaft which won't break, bend or lose its shape even under heavy workloads or if thrown.

The new analysis also contains the mineral polyhalite to supply potassium, calcium and magnesium when these are indicated as required from soil testing. The added SeaMax (soluble seaweed concentrate) in the formulation aims to bring benefits from plant rooting and stress tolerance.
