Abstract/Contents: | "In an experiment, which was carried out twice over a period of three calendar years each, with five combinations at different times, the effects of nutrients, distributed differently and applied in the form of Park-turf fertilizer were examined concerning the criteria of the turf quality. The results were as follows: 1) Every fertilizer application during the first half of the growth period effects the development of the grasses in a more or less spontaneous way. 2) By postponing the date of fertilizer application to growth periods with poorer growth, a reduction of the amount of clipped material by up to 30% can be achieved without any loss in nitrogen utilisation and turf color worth mentioning. 3) A postponement of the date of fertilizer application to late autumn will ensure that the turf shows an obviously better winter aspect. The consequences of proper timing of fertilizer application on turf are that fertilizer should, for the first time, not be applied before May, whereas it should be applied a third time in November, as a precaution for winter." |
