What sets Fusion apart from other fertilizers is a unique and comprehensive system of applied agronomy that we call Integrated Turf Nutrition (ITN). Essentially, ITN is an adaptive fertility strategy that ensures soil health and plant nutrition will not be limiting factors in turf quality. This is accomplished by manufacturing technologically advanced Fusion fairway and greens fertilizer to meet the specific agronomic needs of your turf. In addition, ITN integrates the impact from irrigation water quality and monitors plant nutritional status. ITN leaves no stone unturned and is simply is the most comprehensive turfgrass fertility system available.
It's important to note that professionally objective and scientifically advanced agronomic analysis is the foundation of ITN. To achieve this goal, all Fusion agronomic services are independently contracted to North America 's leading turfgrass testing facilities: MDS Harris Labs and A&L Canada Labs. Both labs offer test methodology, quality control and agronomic insight that leads the industry.
ITN is also a responsive nutrient management plan that records and integrates environmental concerns into your fertility strategy. Because ITN is based on independent agronomic analysis and is "signed-off" by a Professional Agrologist (P.Ag.), the environmental integrity of your fertility program is assured. In fact, our ITN system is no different than environmental assessment and nutrient monitoring processes required by law in many jurisdictions.
ITN is economically efficient, applying nutrients that are needed in amounts that are needed. Contrast ITN to a typical "off-the-shelf" program. These pre-packaged fertilizers can actually be a drain on budget resources because they usually contain nutrients that are not required for your specific agronomic circumstances. By eliminating agronomic guesswork, ITN puts your fertilizer budget to better use.
The ITN system is a 4 stage process:
Stage 1 - Soil Analysis
A healthy soil is the foundation for healthy turf. The Fusion ITN system begins with an independent assessment of soil nutritional and chemical status on which your fertility system will be based.

Stage 2 - Irrigation Water Analysis
Often overlooked as an input, irrigation water can have a dramatic impact on soil health and turf quality. ITN fully integrates the nutritional and chemical impact from irrigation water quality into your fertility strategy.

Stage 3 - Plant Tissue Analysis
Conducting tissue analysis at scheduled intervals during the growing season provides a road-map of turf nutritional health. More importantly, it enables us to treat nutrient chronic or acute nutrient deficiencies before they seriously impact turf quality.

Stage 4 - ITN Analysis Report
The ITN analysis report is your fertility strategy based on your individual management practices and qualitative goals. It fully integrates soil, water and tissue analysis into a comprehensive fertility plan that will maximize soil health and turf quality.
