| Abstract/Contents: | Presents recommendations for determining a fertility program, explaining that "the first step to creating a fertility program is to determine the actual amount of nutrients currently available in the soil." Details the role of nitrogen in the soil and mentions that "soil analysis does not measure the level of nitrogen, which is likely the most limiting factor in turfgrass growth." Discusses root zone compositions and species selection, adding that assessing overall turf quality is a way to determine nitrogen requirements. Provides data on nitrogen applications for bermudagrass and Kentucky bluegrass/perennial ryegrass athletic fields over the course of one year. |
