Abstract/Contents:Presents a study conducted to "1) compare foliar iron applications using a spray adjuvant to foliar iron applications with no adjuvant"; "2) compare iron sulfate foliar sprays with foliar nitrogen applications and iron + nitrogen foliar sprays"; and "3) evaluate treatment effects on turfgrass quality and the longevity of any observed improvement in leaf color through subjective visual observations." Reports that "all Fe [iron] treatments had higher quality ratings than the unsprayed control or foliar N [nitrogen] without Fe, although only the treatments with the spray adjuvant were significantly higher." Also reports that "the absensce of an N effect on turf color indicates that the standard fertilizer program was supplying sufficient N for optimum appearance." Concludes that "the short duration of color change is probably due to the frequent mowing of greens and associated removal of treated leaves."
