| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses a survey conducted at Rutgers University regarding lawn clippings. Reports that "when clippings are returned, an equivalent or better turf color can be achieved by using only two pounds of nitrogen per 1000 square feet per year instead of the usual rate of four pounds of nitrogen per 1000 square feet per year...Leaving clippings was also found to reduce the population of weeds in turf." Provides recommendations for turf managers, including to "use a slow release fertilizer to reduce surge growth and amount of clipping residue"; "apply less fertilizer"; and to "increase the frequency of mowing during periods of rapid growth." |
