| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the concerns over limiting "the application of water and nutrients such as nitrogen (N) to grassy surfaces including residential lawns and recreational turf." Suggests that "professional turf managers need to limit the use of N in order to protect surface and ground water from unnecessary contamination associated with the use of nitrogenous fertilizers when applied to turfgrass systems." Notes that the opportunities to increase nitrogen uptake are many, including adjusting the height of cut, irrigation methods, and decreasing nitrogen fertilization, explaining that these practices can impact rooting. States that "the key to sustainable turfgrass management is to keep costly inputs such as N and water to their lowest possible level while sustaining optimal turf function." States that quality shoot density can be important in order for turf to function well in high-traffic areas. |
