| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses how "professional turf [managers can] better understand the current state-of-the-art in the rapdily evolving technologies that meet these demands and to discuss how they can overcome some of the shortcomings associated with conventional soil nutrition and root feeding." Explains that superintendents fear they will have to do create golf courses to a high standard with less resources. States that "true foliar fertilization offers the realistic potential to produce higher quality, more stress resistant turf with lower nutrient inputs." Discusses how to design true foliar fertilizers, stating that "the best designed ture foliars sidestep the obstacles of chemical and electrical gradients by packing a powerful nutrient punch into a formulation made up of neutral or only partially charged species." Concludes that "true foliars produce plant responses at surprisingly low dosages and those responses often last longer than those produced by traditional liquids and water solubles." |
