| Abstract/Contents: | Describes sports turf management programs in Tennessee. States that "the first step to creating a fertility program is to determine the actual amount of nutrients...available in the soil." Describes how to determine the amount of nutrients through a soil analysis test. Discusses nitrogen content, stating that "application of nitrogen must be determined for each specific field based upon geographic location, rootzone mix, deficiency symptoms, turfgrass-species selection and the expected quality of the turf." Mentions several "generalized rules for producing a fertility program." Concludes that "guidelines for creating a fertility program are useful, yet they are only guidelines. Each individual field requires its own specific fertility program based upon the needs of the sports-turf managers, players, owners and others who enjoy sports fields. Finding what works...is not an easy task, so be patient and do not be afraid to try new things." |
