Abstract/Contents:Addresses some of the most important challenges facing golf course superintendents. Presents a study to "evaluate commercially available microbial- and organic-based products and compare them to traditional nutrient sources for effect on putting green performance." Results included that potassium, iron and calcium "tend to be exceedingly high in many products, and this most likely relates to the reported benefits these nutrients are thought to afford for color and stress tolerance." Concludes that "nitrogen exerts a dominating effect on turf quality and growth." Compares the job of scientists and golf superintendents.
