| Abstract/Contents: | Summarizes the need for a golf course to have a fertilization plan that can "provide a sufficient level of available plant nutrients without causing fertilizer `burn' to the turf, or salt buildup in the soil." Addresses the concern of environmental protection when fertilizing, especially regarding phosphorus leaching into the ground water and lowering the level of oxygen in the water by increasing the algae content. Examines the 1995 study that tracked the movement of nitrate and soluble phosphate and found that "27% of the applied P and 4% of the applied N were accounted for in the leachate." Explores the difference between a completely soluble fertilizer and a slowly available nutrient source, and "as expected, the soluble fertilizer source resulted in more nitrate and phosphorus in the leachate than did the granular poly- and sulfur-coated fertilizer source." Reports on the different leaching qualities of eight different fertilizer sources and the runoff from simulated fairways. Suggests that ferilizers should be used judiciously in order to reduce the amount of runoff that pollutes neighboring water supplies. |
