| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted to determine "if there was any benefit to the 'cosmetic' application of fertilizers and pesticides on the reduction of nutrient loading to waterways through leachate and runoff." Offers an overview of "two and a half years of consecutive monitoring both runoff and leaching from eight different lawn types that represent an array of those that exist in New York State." Reports that "turfgrass maintained for aesthetic purposes to maintain good density and color does not potentially impose adverse affects [effects] as a non-point source of pollution to waterways compared to other lawn cover types." Concludes that "maintaining a dense perennial lawn cover at all times, regardless of species composition, appears to be the most important component of combating nonpoint pollution of nutrients and pesticides to waterways from urban lawns." |
