| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the importance of field renovations. Asserts that "attention to late season fertilization, coring/aerification and weed control will, to a large extent, determine the health of your fields for the coming season." States that "LSF [late season fertilization] keeps your fields greener later into the fall, and enhances the rate of spring green-up without stimulating excessive shoot growth, thus allowing the turf plant to maintain higher levels of carbohydrates than when spring/summer fertilization is used." Explains that "cultivating throughout the year will keep the field draining and in good shape. Aerating in the fall, particularly in conjunction with late season fertilization, offers extra benefits." Provides control for broadleaf post-emergence weeds, perennial grassy weeds, annual bluegrass weeds, and yellow nutsedge. States to "time LSF when vertical shoot growth has stopped, but the turf leaves are still green" and to use urea fertilizers with nitrogen rates ranging from 1 to 1-1/2 lbs./N per 1,000 sq. ft. Includes acreage for different types of fields. |
