| Question: | "Is any benefit derived from winter fertilization of fairway turf?" |
|---|
| Answer/Response: | "Virginia tests have demonstrated that winter applications of fertilizer, even on steep roadside slopes, have had little leaching loss. USDA tests have shown that such feeding has an unexpectedly important influence– there is a great deal of winter root growth even though grass tops are frozen stiff. An experiment at the Lawn Institute in Marysville, Ohio, with the application of high rates of urea to frozen bluegrass sod in the middle of January, resulted in just as attractive a spring turf as did equal amounts of fertilizer applied in March. Also, the effects of this mid-winter feeding continued through the summer in the darker green color of the experimental area. At least one beneficial effect was that there was no surge of spring growth that aggravates spring mowing." |
