Abstract/Contents: | States that nitrogen has the greatest effect on the turfgrass growth rate, especially foliar growth rate. Reports that for that reason, most turfgrass fertilizer programs are based on the rate and frequency at which nitrogen is required. Discusses application rates of phosphorus and potassium. Describes two methods by which growth rates may be determined: measure of yield (amount or weight of clippings taken from an area each time it's mowed) and the frequency at which a turf requires mowing. States that a growth rate standard or goal must be developed which gives the best quantity. Reports that nitrogen source and nitrogen rates can be used to control growth rates. Environmental factors also play a major role in determining growth rates. Concludes that those who are willing to experiment and find out just how much growth rates are changed by a pound or the nitrogen should find recording and evaluating growth rate data to be a reasonable approach to the development and maintenance of a fertilizer program. |
