| Abstract/Contents: | "The potential for fertilizer N and pesticides leaching into drinking water supplies is real in light of a recent survey of chemical residues found [in] drinking wells in the U.S. Published reports of leaching of turf applied pesticides in general found leaching to be small but highly dependent on soil texture and the time from application to the first significant precipitation event. Results from ongoing studies suggest the potential for significant leaching of either the pesticide (on a four month old stand) or metabolites (on a sand based putting green) from very sandy sites. The leaching of nitrates from fertilization of turfgrasses appears not to threaten groundwater quality. Lawn fertilization was found to have only a minor impact on nitrate levels in groundwater where other land uses like corn production and suburban activity (septic tank) resulted in nitrate levels in groundwater in excess of drinking water standards. Late fall soluble N applications on sandy-coastal sites can result in substantial nitrate leaching. However, on finer textured soils or on sites with extended periods of frozen ground, leaching is minimal. Direction for future research should focus on developing models that more accurately predict pesticide leaching and to determine the extent of long term slow release N source leaching/gaseous loss." |
