| Abstract/Contents: | Explains why turfgrass needs nitrogen fertilizer, stating that "one reason turf requires fertilizer nitrogen is a matter of timing." States that "throughout the fall and winter soil nitrate levels gradually decline until they reach a low during March and April...This early in the spring, however, the soil remains cold and mineralization of soil organic nitrogen is low. Thus, the soil water nitrate content drops to its lowest level and, if no fertilizer is applied, deficiency symptoms will be observed." Discusses the efficiency of nitrogen and other sources of nitrogen besides fertilizers. Recommends that "the timing of nitrogen supply and turf need...be addressed partially through management" to reduce the inefficency of nitrogen use. States that "the secret to minimum nitrogen management of turf is to capitalize on the nitrogen already present and use fertilizer to fill in the gaps caused by uncoordinated supply and demand." Concludes that "the prospects for nutrient efficient turfgrasses are bright but only if an appropriate investment is made." |
