MATCHplay
Great for your turf and the planet
. MATCHPLAY superior turf care
MATCHPLAY® is a range of innovative, professional grade Australian designed and made products. They’ve been proven across many iconic turf spaces including Commonwealth Golf Club, Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) and NZ Campus of Innovation and Sport (NZCIS). Developed in partnership with Living Turf, the range is constantly being refined across product and deployment. And because better local thinking goes in, you get better results out.
Innovation born of necessity
Living Turf has always employed extensive local expertise to develop and refine the MATCHPLAY range of products to match the needs of Australian and New Zealand turf managers. We are proud of the fact that these products are expertly formulated and quality controlled to provide reliable performance, every single time.
“Results are achieved using less applied nutrient and, in most cases, a reduced cost of inputs (fertiliser + chemical). Which is great news for the environment.”
Living Turf’s collaboration with leading Australian scientists, means we can now measure soil microbial populations and their diversity. By establishing population data, before and after programmed applications, the development of soil microbe populations can be directly linked to turf root vigour, density and depth.

Fertiliser Technology
DURATION® is an advanced generation polymer coating technology that gradually meters nutrients for two months, four months or even all season long, to meet the plant’s needs. With release patterns being influenced by temperature, feeding closely matches turf growth cycles, resulting in enhanced efficiency, which is good for the environment and your bottom line.
ISODURE™is a unique, slow-release nitrogen source that delivers more water insoluble nitrogen WIN (89%) than any other slow-release nitrogen source. ISODURE releases nitrogen through dissolution and hydrolysis. It is independent of microbial activity and soil temperature making it a clear choice for turf managers seeking a nitrogen source available in a wide temperature range. With a salt index of 5, ISODURE is safer to apply than most non-coated nitrogen sources. Benefits include reduced nitrogen loss, less thatch build-up and limited surge growth all season long.
ECO ADVANCE is unique technology that includes beneficial microbe strains that have been incorporated in the granulating process. These beneficial microbe strains are designed to dissolve the fine rock minerals into biologically available minerals that can then be used by the plants as required.
MESA® is unique fertiliser technology that combines methylene urea with a sulphate of ammonia in a single homogeneous granule. This patented manufacturing process produces a slow-release fertiliser that combines quick acting ammonia nitrogen with a stable and long-term methylene urea. The result is a quick greening of treated turf without surge growth or burn potential.
N-FUSION™ homogeneous fertilisers contain a revolutionary dispersing fertiliser technology that minimises mower pick-up with a short irrigation cycle. N- FUSION utilises special binding agents that react with water to release the nutrients through the turf canopy into the root zone.
UMAXX® is a premium stabilised nitrogen fertiliser designed to maximise nitrogen efficiency and minimise nitrogen loss. Stabilised nitrogen remains in the root zone longer in a useable form, therefore, providing consistent growth and optimum results. When it comes to performance and return on investment, no other urea-based product compares to UMAXX stabilised nitrogen. UMAXX provides consistent colour response for up to 16 weeks.
METHYDURE® methylene urea is a time-tested, proven and trusted slow-release nitrogen source. METHYDURE is designed for steady, predictable and long-lasting performance. Over 85% of the nitrogen from METHYDURE relies on microbial release which makes the nitrogen available as required by the plant.
UFLEXX® stabilised nitrogen provides protection against all three forms of nitrogen loss – ammonia volatilization, denitrification, and leaching. Whether you spread it dry, or dissolve it in the spray tank, you can count on UFLEXX fertiliser to provide quick green-up and sustained colour for up to 8 weeks.
Our innovative MATCHplay Nutrient Technology
VM3 is a proprietary organic technology that enhances nutrient availability, longevity and compatibility for better turf performance. VM3 is a product of fermentation that incorporates several beneficial bacteria, trace minerals and plant stimulants such as aminos, kelps, fulvic and humic acids.
Trace elements with fulvic acids, humic acids, amino acids, kelps and sugars. This package works well together with beneficial bacteria to boost soil biology, increase soil carbon, stimulate plant growth and break down organic matter.
VAM (Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhiza) is a group of beneficial symbiotic fungi that can colonize up to 80% of the turf root mass. The fungal hyphae grow out into the soil further than the root hairs, thus enhancing access to ordinarily unavailable soil nutrients.
Surfactant included to ensure even coverage.
Beneficial bacteria to boost soil biology, increase soil carbon, stimulate plant growth and break down organic matter.
NRDT is a unique formulation of nutrients, enzymes, carbohydrates, biostimulants and trace minerals allowing better extraction and delivery of nutrients to turf.
