| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses potential benefits of fertigation. Describes fertigation, stating that "fertigation systems generally have three to five tanks of fertilizers and nutrients...The largest tanks contain some combination of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Smaller tanks often hold liquid iron and/or other minor-element nutrients. Occasionally, pesticide tanks are part of the system, although superintendents are frequently hesitant to fertigate pesticides because of environmental concerns." Details fertigation system installation. Mentions possible disadvantages of fertigation, stating that "fertigation does not completely eliminate spreader applications...For the greatest benefit, courses should be in an area where irrigation is necessary at least once a week. On golf course greens, there are also times when an application of a special blend or supplement is needed. In this case, a fertigation tank of this mix may not be practical." |
