| Abstract/Contents: | Describes the process of selecting the proper fertilizer. Suggests beginning with a comprehensive soil test, explaining that "the goal in deterring a fertilizer program should be to add only those nutrients that are lacking in order to optimize plant growth during the establishment and maintenance phases." States that "another key factor is how soluble the fertilizer is. Fertilizers can be classified into various types: soluble and slow-release/controlled release." Compares the types, stating that slow-release fertilizers (SRF) and controlled-release fertilizers (CRF) "can be applied at higher rates and much less frequently than solubles." Concludes that for a fertilization program "selection criteria should include: all required nutrients in a quality form that are not supplied by the soil sustained for the period of time suited to the total maintenance program." |
