| Abstract/Contents: | "In an evaluation test of a liquid 12-8-4 fertilizer containing urea, ammonium nitrate, di-ammonium phosphate, potassium chloride, and a detergent spreader, little difference in turfgrass responses was found between the liquid and a solid 12-8-4 fertilizer during a 2-year period. For the comparison, 3 rates of application, 8.3, 16.7, and 33.3 pounds of liquid or solid 12-8-4 per 1,000 feet were used on one turf of average quality and one of below average quality. Color ratings, height at clipping, yield, and N, P, and K levels indicated that beneficial responses lasted for a period of 1 to 3 weeks. These responses did not always appear immediately after fertilization and were related to the time and amount, but not the type, of fertilizer applied. Liquid 12-8-4 fertilizer was also applied to limed and unlimed bluegrass, bentgrass, and red fescue plots at rates of 25.0, 31.1, 33.3, and 37.5 pounds per 1,000 square feet. These applications resulted in temporary, though severe, burning, especially of bentgrass. Changes in density and frequency of turfgrasses were related to the amount, not the type, of fertilizer used." |
