| Abstract/Contents: | "The purpose of this study was to provide to the manufacturer with turfgrass response data that will aid in deciding which fertilizers to market. The N carriers in the experimental fertilizers consist of various combinations of urea, polymer-coated urea, and polymer+sulfur-coated urea. Despite the fact that the study was conducted with a turfgrass that typically does not show strong respnses to N, the summary data do serve the purpose of showing the ralative merits of the fertilizer applied. The minimum color ratings are essentially those taken 7 days after fertilizer application. Here it is important to note that the Exp. 4 and Lesco 37-0-0 (SCU) fertilizers failed to increase color to an acceptable level of 7.0 or greater within the first week after application. Maximum color ratings are shown to indicate which of the fertilizers produced excessive color ratings of 8.0 or greater. In general, these excessivbe color ratings were associated with the highest clipping weights recorded. When applied properly, top quality fertilizers yield turfgrass color ratings that average between 7.4 and 7.6 Several of the experimental fertilizers, as well as Lieco 37-0-0 and Scotts 29-3-4 failed to meet this standard, but it must be kept in mind that the Scotts product rate of application was 0.9 lb rather than 1.5 lb N. In general, the fertilizers that produced low average color response had some of the shortest color response times. What this correctly indicates is that low average color ratings were primarily due to low color ratings after about week 10 of the study." |
