Question:We have had quite a bit of discussion about whether it is better to use sewage sludge or cow or horse manure when top-dressing the fairways on our course. We have no means of sterilizing the maure and must spread it by hand. We should be grateful for any advice you can give us.

Keywords:TIC Keywords: Fertilizer recommendations; Golf fairway maintenance; Manures; Recommendations; Sewage sludge; Topdressing
Answer/Response:All our experimental work has shown that for fairway fertilizing it is better to use sewage sludge or some commercial fertilizers than cow or horse manure as top-dressing.
