| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the Vigoro Fairway Fertilization Trial, stating that "the purpose of the trial was to assemble the type of information needed to make effective use of Vigoro fertilizers on golf course fairways." States that four objectives were established: "to determine the longevity of fairway turf color response"; "to develop an idea of how color responses are affected by golf course geographic location, soil, and turfgrass species"; "to establish how color response to Vigoro fertilizers compares to that of a competitor's product"; and "to determine the effect of fertilizer application rate on the intensity and longevity of turf color response." Presents methods and observations for each objective. Concludes that "the experimental Vigoro fertilizer, 7-0-0-8Fe, is exceptional in terms of initial turfgrass color response and has color longevity equal to or greater than the other fertilizers tested." |
