| Abstract/Contents: | "A new slow-release powdered fertilizer product jhas been developed for use in the landscape industry. A series of tests was conducted to evaluate this product in several landscape applicator modes: turf broadcast, turf gun, and soil injection (for trees). Variables included concentration, nozzle size and type, pressure, agitation, and holding time in the tank before spraying. The product worked well in a wide variety of spray equipment and operating conditions. It could be sprayed at a rate of 0.30 kg-N/L (0.25 lb-N/gal) in larger nozzles. The product settled out of suspension rapidly, so good agitation was critical. No differences in screen or nozzle plugging were noted that could be attributed to nozzle type or spraying pressure. Suspensions could be held overnight if properly re-agitated before spraying. Foaming was a problem with this product. An antifoam agent should be considered. Large diameter filters minimized problems with filter plugging by providing more screen area." |
