| Abstract/Contents: | Addresses the goals of providing "current turfgrass managers a practical, science-based, single-source information package to assist their fertility management challenges" and providing "a 'textbook' for the next generation of turfgrass managers..." Includes: Introduction (Soil and soil related problems, Plant nutrition, Enhancing turfgrass nutrient-use efficiency); Soil chemical properties and problems (Cation exchange capacity, Soil pH concepts and acidity problems, Alkaline soil pH problems, Basics of salt-affected soils, Management of salt-affected sites, Assessing chemical/nutrient status, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, Calcium, magnesium, and sulfur, Micronutrients and other elements, Biochemical aspects and amendments, Unique soil problems (waterlogged, pollutants, organic)); Fertilizers and fertilization (Turfgrass fertilizers, Factors in selecting a fertilizer, Developing fertilizer programs). |
