Description

Lawn Fertiliser for All Grasses: Incitec Pivot No. 17 Lawn Food

Incitec Pivot No. 17 Lawn Food is a balanced granular lawn fertiliser made to keep lawns growing strongly with good, even colour. It's a complete NPKS blend based on sulphate of potash, a gentler potassium source for turf, and it suits all grass types, from buffalo, couch and kikuyu through to cool-season lawns and playing fields. The 25kg bag suits larger lawns, new turf and sports fields.

What's in No. 17 Lawn Food?

No. 17 supplies nitrogen 9.1%, phosphorus 3.8%, potassium 4.9%, sulphur 17.7% and calcium 8.2%. Each nutrient has a job:

  • Nitrogen: drives leaf growth and green colour
  • Phosphorus: supports root development, especially when establishing new turf
  • Potassium: helps the lawn cope with wear, heat and dry spells
  • Sulphur: works with nitrogen for deep, lasting green
  • Calcium: supports healthy cell walls and soil structure

The potassium comes from sulphate of potash rather than muriate of potash. Sulphate of potash is lower in salt, so it's gentler on turf and less likely to scorch grass, and it adds to the sulphur content. For a lawn fertiliser applied regularly through the year, that gentler profile is a real advantage.

Fertiliser for Buffalo and Couch Grass

Buffalo, couch, kikuyu and zoysia are warm-season grasses that do most of their growing from spring to autumn and slow right down in winter. They respond best to regular feeding through that growing season, which is when No. 17 does its best work. A balanced feed with potassium also helps buffalo and couch handle summer heat, foot traffic and dry spells. Cool-season lawns such as tall fescue and ryegrass are fed mainly in spring and autumn, when they're actively growing.

When Should You Fertilise a Lawn in Australia?

Fertilise when your grass is actively growing. In most of Australia, that means:

  • Early spring: as lawns wake up, to kick-start growth and colour
  • Late spring to summer: a lighter feed to keep colour through the warm months
  • Autumn: to strengthen roots and help lawns go into winter in good condition

Avoid feeding in the middle of a heatwave or drought, or when warm-season grasses are dormant in winter. Lawns where clippings are caught and removed need feeding more often than lawns where clippings are left on.

What Is the Best Fertiliser for a Lawn?

The best lawn fertiliser feeds more than just the leaf. Look for:

  • A balanced blend with phosphorus and potassium for roots and resilience, not just nitrogen
  • Sulphur for deeper, longer-lasting colour
  • A gentle potassium source such as sulphate of potash to reduce scorch risk
  • Granules that spread evenly by hand or spreader
  • A product suited to your grass type and the time of year

That balance is why No. 17 Lawn Food is widely used for laying new turf, feeding established lawns and keeping sports turf in good condition.

How To Use

  • Timing: apply when the grass is actively growing: early spring, a lighter feed in late spring or summer, and again in autumn.
  • Rate: spread 5–6kg per 100m² (about 50–60g/m²), three or four times a year.
  • Spread evenly: apply by hand or with a spreader. For an even result, spread half the amount in one direction and the rest at right angles.
  • Water in: water thoroughly straight after applying to wash granules off the leaf and into the soil.
  • Don’t spray or inject: No. 17 isn’t fully soluble, so don’t use it through irrigation, water injection or spray equipment.
  • Avoid: heatwaves, drought, and winter dormancy in warm-season grasses.
  • Clippings: lawns where clippings are caught and removed need feeding more often.
  • Clean up: sweep granules off paths and driveways, and clean spreaders after use, as the product can be corrosive to metals.

Safety

  • Avoid swallowing and avoid breathing in the dust.
  • Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Wear gloves when handling.
  • Wash hands after use.
  • Keep out of reach of children and animals. It isn't a stockfeed supplement.
  • This product can be corrosive to metals. Clean spreaders and equipment after use.
  • Lawn and turf use only. Don't use on vegetables or on soil periodically cropped to vegetables, as this blend has a comparatively high cadmium content.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the NPK of Incitec Pivot No. 17 Lawn Food?

No. 17 Lawn Food contains nitrogen 9.1%, phosphorus 3.8%, potassium 4.9%, sulphur 17.7% and calcium 8.2%. It's a granular blend based on sulphate of potash.

How much No. 17 Lawn Food should I use?

When should you fertilise a lawn in Australia?

Feed when grass is actively growing: early spring, a lighter feed in late spring or summer, and again in autumn. Avoid heatwaves, drought and winter dormancy.

Is No. 17 Lawn Food good for buffalo and couch grass?

Yes. It suits all grass types, including buffalo, couch and kikuyu. Feed warm-season grasses through their spring to autumn growing season for the best result.

What is the best type of fertilizer for grass?

A balanced granular lawn fertiliser with nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and sulphur suits most lawns. A gentle potassium source like sulphate of potash reduces the risk of scorch.

Can I use No. 17 Lawn Food on my vegetable garden?

No. It isn't suitable for vegetables or for soil periodically used to grow vegetables, due to its comparatively high cadmium content. Use a fertiliser made for edible crops instead.

Can I dissolve No. 17 Lawn Food and spray it?

No. It isn't fully soluble, so it shouldn't be used through irrigation, water injection or spray equipment. Spread it as granules and water in.
