| Abstract/Contents: | States that "the maximum possible rooting depth and distribution, plus root hair development, will enable turfs to absorb moisture and nutrients from a greater portion of the soil profile." Explains that "the most common nutrient deficiencies in turfgrasses are nitrogen, potassium, iron and sulfur, in that order." Suggests that "excessive nitrogen (N) applications that force leaf growth of closely mowed turfs cause the reserve carbohydrates to be drawn from the roots and may result in die-back of the root system." Mentions "the importance of not making nitrogen applications for a two-week to three-week period following initial spring root decline." Suggests that "the potassium fertilization strategy should be to apply K [potassium] at a rate of 65 percent to 85 percent of the nitrogen application rate being used." Reports that "regular iron applications throughout the growing season are beneficial to turfs, including enhanced rooting." States that "recent investigations indicate that high plant-bed phosphorus applications at 3 pounds of phosphorous per 1,000 square feet will more than double the rate of vegetative establishment." |
