| Abstract/Contents: | Highlights fertilizer use in Florida. Notes that "green industry firms in FLorida...have noticed an increase in fertilizer-reduction messages...at least two b illboard campaigns have encouraged Floridians to reduce fertilizer use. The groups behind these bilboards assert that nitrogen runoff from landscape fertilizers creates damaging algal blooms in water ways." States that "lawn care professionals say messages like these [billboards] give the consumers the false impression that fertilizers are inherently unsafe and bad for the environment." Suggests that "the reality is, if [one doesn't] fertilize properly [one] can have a more negative impact on the envirnoment...thick, healthy turf is the greatest way in which [one] can protect a water source from a non-point source pollution." |
