| Abstract/Contents: | Explains that "usually Southwest soils are calcareous... typically dificient in iron (Fe)." States that "iron-deficient leaves become chlorotic due to reduced chlorophyll production and leaves are nearly white in advanced stages of Fe deficiency. The most common means of correcting deficiencies is Fe applications." Explains that "since relatively small actual quantities of micronutrients are needed by turfgrass plants, toxicities may result from over application of Fe or complex interactions with other essential elements." Describes a study "to assess the market potential of a new iron supplement fertilizer for use at golf courses in the Southwest." Results include that "almost all the superintendents in the six states indicated they apply fertilizer containing Fe to their golf courses" and that superintendents ranked effectiveness as the most important "criteria for selecting fertlilizers for greens, fairways, roughs and tees." |
