Dutch Turfgrass Research Foundation Abstract (Thanks to DTRF) | "Fertilization practices are highly scrutinized on golf courses across the United States due to environmental concerns. The majority of research indicates that turfgrass nitrogen fertilization poses little risk to the environment. However, recent research has identified nitrate leaching as a greater risk than previously thought on mature turfgrass stands (Frank et al., 2006). Other studies have identified that soils are capable of storing large amounts of N as organic fractions but suggest that this capacity is not infinite (Qian and Follett, 2002). What these researchers are suggesting is that as turf ages and soils mature, mineralization of organic N will exceed immobilization, thus creating a greater supply than plants need for growth and development." |
