Abstract/Contents:Discusses potential nitrogen programs to use on tall fescue sod development. States that "while soil tests are quite adequate in recommending how much phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) should be added to the soil at establishment to provide sufficiency during sod development, there is no such test for N [nitrogen] needs." Describes a test conducted to "determine the most cost-effective nitrogen fertilization program to go from an early September seeding of netted tall fescue to an effective harvest." States that "approximately two weeks after seedling emergence ([September] 30), [researchers] applied the following N-fertilizer treatments every 30 or 60 days, through November, for a range of two to three fall applications." Lists the various nitrogen sourses tested in the trial, including urea, ammonium sulfate, sulfur-coated urea, UFlexx and UMaxx and CoRoN (Controlled Release Nitrogen). Describes how the weather impacted the trial and the netted fescue sod strength. Concludes that "use of 2 to 4 lbs. [pounds]/1000 ft2 [square feet] of quick-release N (about 100 to 200 lbs. N/acre) during fall and winter grow-in of fescue should be cost effective and adequate for proper sod development in Virginia."
