| Question: | "A few of our putting greens have a peculiar reddish brown or rusty appearance in several places. This is particularly noticeable after a heavy rainfall. Do you think a topdressing of compost and ammonium sulfate would restore the grass to a healthy color?" |

| Answer/Response: | "The condition you describe may be due to a number of causes. It is certain to occur however where there is defective drainage, especially during rainy weather. We would suggest that you examine the drainage conditions of your greens thoroughly and attempt to improve the drainage wherever possible. Topdressings of compost and ammonium sulfate are of great value in promoting the vigor of turf, but will not remedy the effects of defective drainage." |
