| Abstract/Contents: | "Organic amendments are gaining wider use in the turfgrass industry both as a means of increasing nutrient and water retention in sand-based growing media but also as fertilizers, thatch reducers, and materials to suppress turfgrass diseases. Among the more effective types of amendments have been composed amendments containing high levels of microbial activity and capable of inducing high levels of microbial activity in treated soils. Many of the microbes found in composts and in soils treated with composts can act as biological disease control agents. In this article, the author reviews some of the basic aspects of organic amendments in turfgrass management and some of the microbial aspects of composting that relate to the suppression of turfgrass diseases." |
