Abstract/Contents: | Requirements for the production of turfgrass, such as lime, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium, should be based on the chemical analysis of soil. Scheduling of nitrogen fertilization is important to supply adequate nutrition during the normal time that grass accumulates carbohydrates. For cool season grasses, nitrogen fertilization should be done so that excess nitrogen is unavailable to the grass during early spring or hot summer months. Fertilization with iron has enhanced turf quality of both cool season and warm season grasses. Applications during the early fall has extended the fall growing period of bermudagrass. |
