Abstract/Contents:"Virginia Cooperative Extension and Virginia Tech scientists have played active roles in forming collaborative partnerships with both state regulatory agencies and turfgrass industry organizations in addressing 2025 federal water quality goals of the Chesapeake Bay and its tidal waters. VCE/VT faculty partnered with Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation (VDCR) to develop a training and testing program that certifies urban nutrient management plan writers (approximately 200 plan writers certified since 2010) and the acres under nutrient management plans are part of Virginias reporting requirements documenting progress in Chesapeake Bay water quality criteria. To meet new laws regarding certification of commercial fertilizer applicators, VCE/VT faculty and staff collaborated with state agencies in developing a free online Fertilizer Applicator Certification Testing and Training (FACT) program that has certified over 1300 commercial applicators since 2013. The VCE/VT faculty and staff also partnered with the Virginia Golf Course Superintendents Association in developing their BMPs in Golf Turf Maintenance training program and helped the association achieve its goal of having all 325 state golf courses under nutrient management plans by 2017. VCE Master Gardener-led urban nutrient management planning programs are in place in approximately 10 urban locales across Virginia, but the scope of their impacts in capturing acreage under nutrient management plans and affecting change in homeowner attitudes and practices in water quality protection remains small due to the sheer numbers of lawns and challenges in reaching these audiences. A pilot program developed by a gardening supply store (in cooperation with VDCR and VCE-led groups) that provides soil-test based prescription fertilizer sales for lawn areas sized by satellite imagery is being evaluated in 2018. This program proposes to capture and report areas under nutrient management plans that will be used for federal reporting purposes, and it can also serve to generate revenue for VCE-led organizations."
