| Abstract/Contents: | Details an experiment conducted at the Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio, on silicon fertilizer, stating that "silicon and calcium...increase the rigidity of the grass plant, as well as [help] the plant during times of stress." Explains that "[the maintenance crew's] goal is to manage the soil layer to a point where there is more porosity in the top layer, giving the roots more space to grab on and give support to the whole system." Reports that the crew is "applying the product every 4 weeks at a rate of 10 lbs. [pounds] per 1,000 sq. [square] ft. [feet]. |
