| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a review of several research projects conducted to "determine adverse ecological effects when nutrients are transported from the site of application." Reports that "in general, nitrogen runoff and leaching losses from turfgrass are minimal in studies." Continues that "the results of the water quality monitoring studies indicate minimal degradation of ground surface water from nitrogen; however, data regarding phosphorus is more troublesome." Also mentions that "the amount of nutrient loss is closely tied to the level of nutrients applied for both nitrogen and phosphorus...nitrogen leaching and runoff follow a strong seasonal pattern where nitrate concentrations are highest during winter months when turf is dormant, precipitation is more plentiful, and microbial activity is reduced." Notes that "it is important to know whether such small-plot results can be used to estimate nutrient loss on a watershed scale." Also reports that "scheduling application around rainstorm events that favor near-term runoff is one of the most powerful management tools superintendents have at their disposal to minimize nutrient transport to surface waters." |

Abstract
(Thanks to DTRF) | "What happens to nutrients after fertilizers are applied? How much are these nutrients transported to groundwater or surface waters, and what are the ecological effects? What can be done to minimize this risk? During the past decade, the USGA Turfgrass and Environment Research Program continued answering these questions. The focus of this effort was to determine adverse ecological effects when nutrients are transported from the site of application. The two nutrients receiving attention were nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), and much was learned about how to effectively limit the risk of these nutrients finding their way to surface and groundwater." |
