CURRENT UAE IRRIGATION WATER USAGE |
IRRIGATION WATER USAGE USING SUPER SOIL AT 30% |
|
|
Average usage for tuf = 12 litres applied / m2 per day |
Average usage for turf = 6 litres applied / m2 per day |
|
COMPARATIVE COSTS Using a current growing medium (requiring annual replacement) Volume of water applied per 1 ha (10 000 m2) of turf using a typical growing medium ( data from UAE Municipality) = 120 000 litres applied / ha / day = AED 950.00 / ha / day = AED 346 750.00 / ha / year |
COMPARATIVE COSTS Using AustraBlend® Super Soil ( not requiring annual replacement ) Volume of water applied per 1 ha ( 10 000 m2) of turf using AustraBlend® Super Soil mixed with sand at 30% = 60 000 litres applied / ha / day = AED 475.00 / ha / day = AED 173 375.00 / ha / year (= AED 173 375.00 / ha / year saved) |
|
CURRENT UAE FERTILISER USAGE Average usage for turf = 50 gms applied / m2 per month |
FERTILISER USAGE USING SUPER SOIL AT 30% Average usage for turf = 25 gms applied / m2 per mmonth |
Fertilisers applied, including topdressings on playing fileds, golf courses and race courses , will be halved by using AustraBlend® Super Soil
|
COMPARATIVE COSTS Using a current growing medium (requiring annual replacement) Fertilisers applied per 1 ha 910 000 m2) of turf using a typical growing medium (data from UAE Municipality) = 500 kg applied / ha / month = AED 4 500.00 / ha / month = AED 54 000.00 / ha / year |
COMPARATIVE COSTS Using AustraBlend® Super Soil (not requiring annual replacement) Fertilisers applied per 1 ha (10 000 m2) of turf using AustraBlend® Super Soil mixed with sand at 30% = 250 kg applied / ha / month = AED 2 250.00 / ha / month = AED 27 000.00 / ha / year (= AED 27 000.00 / ha / year saved) |
