Abstract/Contents:Presents a summary of an experiment to examine if "organic sources leach less nitrate from turf." Details the methods and materials used in the study, stating that "a by-product of calamari production (squid waste) was hydrolyzed and formulated into a liquid fertilizer stabilized with phosphate acid...or combined with clay and extruded as granules." Compares the squid waste study to an experiment comparing nitrate leaching from six organic nitrogen sources applied to four cool season turfgrasses. Notes that "important aspects of fertilizer-derived nitrate leacing from cool-season turf" such as nitrate leaching will account for less than 10 percent if the nitrogen source is applied at a healthy rate when roots are capable of absorbing nutrients, sufficient rainfall and irrigation will promote hydrolyzed nitrogen sources that will leach below root zone, small and frequent applications of nitrogen fertilizers will "result in less nitrate leaching," and "organic nitrogen fertilizers may leach more nirtrate-N if, in their processing, extensive hydrolytic reactions occur, thereby increase their content of free ammonia or nitrate."
