| Abstract/Contents: | "Among the list of stream water quality impairments are nitrogen and phosphorus, common constituents of lawn and garden amendments. In Fayette County, Kentucky, 25 years (1990 - 2014) of soil test data show that 94% of home lawns and gardens exceed the land-grant university maximum recommendation for phosphorus fertilizer applications. Over-fertilization and improperly placed nutrient applications increase nutrient loads to stormwater runoff leading to impaired water quality in the Commonwealth. In response, University of Kentucky's Cooperative Extension Service (CES) has implemented a public education program 'No P on My Lawn!' to engage with residential audiences about proper nutrient management. The program emphasizes environmental and aesthetic ramifications of over-fertilization, demonstrates the benefit and method of soil testing, explains how to interpret soil tests, and identifies appropriate plant nutrient applications utilizing a 5R approach to nutrient management: Right source, Right time, Right rate, Right place, Right price. The program is being piloted in Fayette County through the CES. Program participants are recruited through neighborhood associations and community organizations that assist with marketing and participation. Program materials are delivered through workshops and include grant supplemented soil tests for participants. Current management practices and behavior change are assessed through pre- and post-workshop surveys. While the program focuses on phosphorus, the proposed strategies will result in a reduced nitrogen load as well. It is our assumption that increased public education will reduce nutrient loads applied by homeowners resulting in reduced contribution to runoff and improved water quality." |
