| Question: | "Could a mixture of 2 pounds of sulphate of ammonia and 10 pounds of superphosphate be safely applied monthly to 1,000 square feet of putting green surface? Would an application in the spring of 200 pounds of sulphate of ammonia followed by an application of bone meal be satisfactory for fairways?" |

| Answer/Response: | "It would be quite safe to apply 2 pounds of sulphate of ammonia to 1,000 square feet of putting green surface and to apply also at the same time 10 pounds of superphosphate to the same area. There is seldom any burning with superphosphate, but occasionally muriate of potash burns, and the fact that it may burn should be considered when using it in a fetlilizer mixture. Monthly applications of sulphate of ammonia are all right during the growing season, but superphosphate should not be applied monthly, since phosphorus is not used up as quickly as nitrogen, nor is it released from the soil as readily, and an excess of phosphorus in the soil might lead to difficulty from clover and weeds. One application of superphosphate, either in spring or fall, would be ample. On the fairways 200 pounds of sulphate or ammonia could be applied to an acre in the spring without danger of burning, but the bone meal should not be applied until after a good rain so that the sulphate may first be washed into the soil. The sulphate will give the grass a good start in the spring, and also will make the bone meal more readily available, thus producing good results from it as early as spring and the first part of summer. If bone meal is to be used without an application of sulphate of ammonia its fertilizing elements will become only slowly available, and in that case it should be applied early the preceding fall." |
