The 4Rs

As agricultural production increases to feed a growing world population, emphasis on sustainability and environmental protection have become increasingly important to not only crop production, but also optimum turf management and maintenance.  To address these important issues, Fazio Championship Blend follows and promotes the 4Rs of Nutrient Stewardship.

The 4Rs concept is:

• Right fertilizer source at the
• Right rate, at the
• Right time and in the
• Right place

Implementation of this important concept helps to maximize fertilizer use efficiency by matching the needs of the turf plant and reducing nutrient loss from the soil. 

Fazio Championship Blend liquid fertilizer products fit the 4Rs in these ways:

• Right Source: Fazio Championship Blend fertilizer products are made using only the highest quality raw materials.  The chemistry used in our production process allows for maximum nutrient uptake by offering the nutrients in their most available form. 
• Right Rate: Because of the chemistry of Fazio Championship Blend fertilizer products, small amounts of fertilizer that the plants will readily use can be applied for specific applications (“Spoon-feeding”) which minimizes any negative effects of run-off or leaching into the environment.
• Right Time: Fazio Championship Blend fertilizers are designed to target specific growth stages of the turf plant.  We create different products to address the ever changing nutritional needs of a growing plant throughout its life.  Fazio Championship Blend fertilizers can provide the correct nutrient at the right time.
• Right Place: The correct placement of nutrients is paramount to an efficient fertilizer program.  Fazio Championship Blend turf fertilizers are recommended specifically for foliar applications.  By placing nutrients where the plant can use them, we gain nutrient use efficiency.
