| Abstract/Contents: | A study was undertaken to compare the effects of fertilizers made from compacting N-P-K additives in composted refuse with other fertilizers on the quality of Pennstar Kentucky bluegrass as measured by fertilizer burn, clipping yields and grass color ratings. The guaranteed analyses of three fertilizers tested made from composted refuse, were as follows: Ecology 241 (8-2-4; 52% WIN (Water Insoluble Nitrogen), Ecology 331 (12-3-6; 28% WIN), Ecology 401 (16-4-8, 0% WIN). The remaining tested fertilizers were: Borden X-71 (30-5-8, 0% WIN), Borden Greens and Fairway (10-3-7, 0% WIN), Scotts Turf Builder (23-7-7, 51% WIN). Total nitrogen contents as determined by chemical analyses were used to calculate application rates. Applications were at the rate of 2 lbs N/1000 sq ft in May and in August, 1970. Fertilizers containing composted refuse produced yields and color ratings like other fertilizers with similar WIN percentages. Yields and color ratings were higher in Ecology 331 (28% WIN) than with fertilizers > 50% WIN but lower than fertilizers with 0% WIN. Composted refuse fertilizers burned less than other fertilizers with similar WIN percentages. |
