The Anderson's Fertilizer 18-24-12 48% NS-54, manufactured by the Andersons, is a powerful slow-release granular fertilizer that ensures golf course fairways, sports fields, and other turf areas not only greens up quickly but stays strong over time.
It’s built around NS-54 slow-release technology, which allows nitrogen to release gradually over time rather than all at once. This keeps turf growth consistent, uniform, and sustainable. With an SGN 215 particle size, the fertilizer is perfectly suited for fairways and roughs, ensuring even coverage and efficient application. It’s dust-free, free-flowing, and easy to spread, making it as user-friendly as it is effective.
The Anderson's Fertilizer 18-24-12 48% NS-54 is a reliable and medium-sized granular fertilizer that delivers a precise nutrient balance to fuel turfgrass with steady, reliable nutrition for stronger roots, greener leaves, and healthier turf overall. The uniform particles, dust-free texture, and reliable nutrient release make this fertilizer easy to use and effective every single time.

| Keith's Pro Tip | "Aerating before applying fertilizer improves nutrient absorption by relieving soil compaction and increasing air, water, and fertilizer movement into the root zone. The open channels created by core aeration allow nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to penetrate deeper, promoting stronger root growth and more efficient use of the fertilizer." |
