| Abstract/Contents: | Describes new research which aims to compile data on what happens to nitrogen after it is applied. Details problems encountered in deriving funding for the project. Also discusses initial meetings for drafting nutrient-reduction rules for the Tar-Pamilco River Basin in North Carolina, the new certification program of the Turfgrass Council of North Carolina (TCNC), a new endowment for TCNC mentors, conflicts with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) over ramifications of the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA), and an Evergreen Foundation program based at North Carolina State University. Includes an excerpt of a presentation given by Doug Fender, executive director of Turfgrass Producers International, which addresses the long-term negative industrial effects of stressing turfgrass beauty. |
