Contec DG 18-3-18 is made with our patented Dispersing Granule (DG) Technology. When this product comes into contact with water, each granule breaks down into thousands of micro-particles, helping move the product down into the soil profile more efficiently.
Small Particle Size
Standard consumer fertilizer granules are 60% bigger than the size of Contec DG granules. The pros prefer formulas with smaller particles because it provides more complete and uniform coverage, which boosts the product’s effectiveness.
Your Bermudagrass Will Love It, Too.
Contec DG’s ultra-small particles and DG Technology work together to break through Bermuda’s dense canopy and thatch, delivering nutrients directly to the soil. This ensures better absorption and more even feeding—ideal for lawns maintained at a shorter height.
When to Apply Contec DG
Contec DG can be applied any time turf is actively growing. With the combination of quick- and slow-release nitrogen, this formula will feed for up to 8 weeks.
For best results, reapply Contec DG every 6 to 8 weeks.
Pro Tips for Best Results
Check The Forecast
Avoid applying before heavy rainfall so particles don't get washed away.
Mow First
Clear any lawn debris and make it easier for particles to reach the soil.
Clean Up
Sweep or blow product off the driveways/sidewalks back into the lawn.
Water Deep
Your lawn will need at least 0.2 inches of water.
Spreader Settings
We recommend using a broadcast spreader. These spreader settings are a guide. Many variables such as walking speed, terrain, particle size, density, and spreader condition can affect these settings. Be sure to calibrate your spreader before every application.
When fertilizer particles get stuck in the turf canopy they can damage the turf blades and the nutrients aren't making it to the soil where they are utilized by your lawn. Contec DG’s small particles and DG Technology work together to break through the dense canopy and thatch of turf types maintained at shorter heights for better absorption and more even feeding.
Yes, Contec DG can be used on all turf types.
When we say "low-cut turf" we are typically referring to warm season turf types like bermuda, zoysia, centipede and St. Augustine that are typically maintained at 0.5 to 2.5 inches.
