DLF launches 4Most seed enhancement
DLF launched 4Most seed enhancement , a new seed enhancement solution developed with environmental sustainability in mind , created specifically for turf and forage applications .
DLF developed 4Most internally to give the company full control over R & D , product development and continued efficacy testing . The 4Most formula integrates targeted , slow-release nitrogen with several different species of beneficial microorganisms specific to turf and forage , aimed at providing seedlings and their root systems with a long-term boost in nutrition . The recipe also features a biodegradable , starch-based super absorbent designed to help maintain moisture around the seed , and a calcium carbonate protective layer intended to improve soil contact and moisture retention .
4Most is formulated to support seedlings in developing deeper and more extensive root systems , to help the emerging plants with greater stability and durability while enabling them to access water and nutrients across more soil , and convert soil-bound nutrients into plant-available nutrients .
According to DLF , the 4Most seed enhancement formulation may reduce the need for additional starter fertilizer or adjustments in seeding rates , aiming for better vertical growth and coverage with fewer seeds .
“ Enhanced seed contains less seed than a bag of raw seed , but based on our research trials , outperforms raw seed because more seeds can survive and thrive ,” said Dr . Leah Brilman , director of product management at DLF .”
Kress Commercial introduces rapid charging solution
Kress Commercial now offers a lighter , more portable charging option — the CyberTank Lite DC- DC charging system powered by the new Kress Commercial 60 V CyberLite Charger and Kress Commercial CyberCapsule .
Charging with the CyberTank Lite DC-DC charging system is facilitated by the CyberLite charger , which transfers power from the 1.5 kWh ( 25 Ah ) CyberCapsule battery to 240 Wh CyberPacks on-the-go . Users simply need to connect the CyberCapsule to one side of the 60 V CyberLite charger and a 240 Wh CyberPack to the other to begin recharging . The CyberLite charger weighs just over 25 pounds and is roughly the size of a small backpack .
The Kress Commercial CyberCapsule , designed as an energy storage module for use with the CyberLite Charger for DC-DC charging on-the-go , provides 1.5 kWh of flexible power for charging batteries when AC outlets are not accessible . With the CyberLite Charger and one fully charged CyberCapsule , Kress Commercial 240 Wh CyberPacks can be recharged from 0 % to 100 % in 12 minutes or less as many as five times throughout the day . Crews needing more portable power for their day can charge as many as four CyberCapsules overnight using the Kress 4-port extended charging case and the Kress Commercial 60 V 30 A CyberPlug AC charger .
The CyberCapsule , which charges from 0 % to 100 % in two hours or less , can also be used as a backpack battery .
The CyberLite Charger and CyberCapsule are IPX5- rated ; the CyberLite Charger is warrantied for four years and the CyberCapsule is warrantied for up to four years or 1,200 recharge cycles .
