| Abstract/Contents: | Addresses slow release nitrogen fertilization products, suggesting that the main factors which determine the rate of release are water and temperature. Claims that "fertilizers that release based on water availability will release more with increased moisture. If you have a wet summer, release will be faster and you will get more growth and most likely have to reapply sooner than during a dry summer. Conversely, temperature-based release products need some moisture, but adding more moisture does not speed the release." Provides recommendations for both water-based release and temperature-based release products. Concludes that "proper nitrogen fertility is important to maintain sufficient growth throughout the playing season without creating excessive growth." |
