Abstract/Contents: | Provides a book review of Nutrition of Sports Turf in Australia. Explains that "there are three chapters dealing with the different nutrients, four covering the various categories of fertiliser (fertilizer) available, a chapter on products containing fertilizer-herbicide combinations, one on turf species, soils and climatic considerations, two chapters on fertilizing establishing and established turf, and the final chapter on fertigation..." Critiques many aspects of the book and concludes that "we cannot recommend such a badly written and poorly edited book." |
