Abstract/Contents:Discusses the problems associated with ill-timed nitrogen fertilizer applications. Contrasts nitrate and ammonium and explains that "nitrate is safer to the turfgrass than ammonium because high concentrations of ammonium are toxic to plant cells." Describes how nitrogen is assimilated in roots and leaves. Discusses the toxicity of both nitrite and ammonium at high concentrations. Describes "three ways turfgrass leaves can control the nitrate reduction process." Discusses a way to estimate leaf NAP in turfgrasses through an in vivo method. Results include that "turfgrass leaves are the primary sites for nitrate assimilation" and "turfgrass assimilates nitrate at high rates during the night." Discusses the possibility of using NAP knowledge to develop "models for forcasting turfgrass fertilization needs."
