| Abstract/Contents: | "There are several fertilizers available which can supply nitrogen to turfgrasses in a more gradual manner than readily-soluble sources like ammonium sulphate or nitrate. These range from the traditional organic materials like hoof anf horn meal to synthetic fertilizers with reduced solubility or soluble compounds with a coating which retards release. Many of these deserve further research in turfgrass situations although cost may be a barrier to widespread use. Recent experimental work at the Sports Turf Research Institute has concentrated on the testing of isobutylidene diurea (IBDU). This compound has considerable slow-release properties and two applications per season can give quite acceptable growth and colour. An application made in late August produces turf with very good winter colour and still gives good growth in the following spring." |
