| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the possible merit of organic fertilizers, detailing their value for the soil and turf. Indicates that organic fertilizers "contain plant food...[maintain] the organic matter status and, therefore, the structure of soil organisms...[and may contain] growth promoting substances known as 'hormones'." Provides a description of secondary effects that may make organic fertilizers appealing. Addresses the presence of nitrogen in organic fertilizers, explaining its function in the soil. Presents theories about the function and form of nitrogen in regards to turf upkeep, mentioning that "a continuous supply of nitrogen is indispensable for the growth of turf." Suggests that the "stimulation of grass buds and the continuous development of tillers is the only rational approach to turf management." |
