| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses sports field fertilizers, focusing on the influence of soil type on fertility programs and the use of fertilizer programs on both irrigated and non-irrigated fields. Implies the potential importance of irrigation systems to sports fields, stating that "fertilizers affect growth only when there is ample soil moisture in the root zone." Mentions leaching, suggesting that "nutrients will leach from heavy soils, provided there is no impedence to downward drainage, at a much slower rate than sands. Calcium and phosphates leach very slowly in heavy soils, but may move freely in sands." States that "lack of irrigation imposes strict limitation on the amount of fertilizer applied and the timing of applications." |
