| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted by Michigan State University to explore the potential necessity of reducing the nitrogen fertilizer on aging turf sites to "lower the risk of nitrate leaching." Details the methods and materials used in the study, stating that "the area was sodded with a blend of Kentucky bluegrass cultivars...from July 1998 through 2002, turf growing over the lysimeters was treated annually with urea at a low nitrogen rate." Reports that "excessive nitrogen fertilization of turfgrass leads to a number of management problems, including making the turf more prone to both the occurrence and severity of various turf diseases; causing a build up of thatch, especially on grasses that spread laterally by stolons and/or rhizomes...and increasing the need for supplemental irrigation since root growth is inhibited." Concludes that "the leachate study at Michigan State University is valuable because it demonstrates the danger of nitrate leaching in over-fertilized sites, especially as those sites age. It also shows that when over-fertilized areas are given less nitrogen, leahing will be reduced as well." |
