| Abstract/Contents: | Describes nitrogen as "the most essential turfgrass nutrient." Explains that "the goal of nitrogen fertilization is to augment this nutrient in the soil so that colour [color], density, and growth are improved. To achieve this goal, an 'adequate' amount of nitrogen must be provided." Discusses the timing and rates of spring nitrogen fertilization, listing locations and factors that may determine the total amounts of spring nitrogen fertilization needed, including "home lawns located in sunny areas"; "all turfgrasses located in shaded areas"; and "when clippings are removed." Mentions the use of slow-release fertilizers, stating that "there are two principle reasons why turf managers use slow-release granular nitrogen. The first is to reduce the risk of burning turf with a fertilizer application...[and] for the most part, a product with a low amount of slow-release nitrogen implies that it contains a lot more of water-soluble nitrogen." Lists "coated urea products"; "organic products"; "urea-formaldehyde (UF) reaction products"; and "urea-isobutylaldehyde reaction prodcuts" as the four basic groups of slow-release granular nitrogen sources. Concludes that "turf managers face challenges that will often require more aggressive and accepting thinking." |
