Abstract/Contents: | "For more than two decades, the USGA Turfgrass and Environmental Research Program has funded research to quantify fate and transport of nutrients and pesticides applied to turfgrass. Several studies involving a range of scales from small-plot research up to entire watersheds have yielded results important to minimize the extent to which applied pesticides and nutrients runoff into surface waters. This paper summarizes much of that USGA-funded research performed over the last decade. The following best management practices are a direct result of those studies. Schedule fertilizer applications to avoid rain storms. Do not apply fertilizer on dormant turf, or too early or late in the growing season. Phosphorous containing fertilizers should be applied in small amounts based on soil-test recommendations. Controlled-release products can reduce nitrogen leaching and runoff. Established turfgrass requires lower fertilization requirements. Use vegetative buffer strips around surface water." |
