Abstract/Contents: | Discusses fall fertilization, suggesting that "proper fall fertilization on cool-season turf can provide many benefits, including: better fall and winter color; earlier spring greenup; increased shoot density; improved fall, winter and spring root growth; improved weed control; and enhanced storage of plant carbohydrates." Also discusses application timing, stating that "typically, turf managers begin fertilizing cool-season turf in September and continue fertilization until November." |
