Nickel aNd TurFgraSS growTh : all you Need To kNow

T urfgrass managers are always trying to leverage acceptable conditions with minimal inputs (water, nutrients, and pesticides). Maintaining optimal plant nutrition is the foundation of sustaining healthy turfgrasses that require fewer inputs. Liebig’s Law of the Minimum states that plant growth is controlled not by the total amount of resources (nutrients) available, but by the most scarce reso...

Utilizing Iron In Turfgrass Management

D r. George Wallace a researcher from UCLA, writing in HortScience called the 1980s the decade for advancement in our knowledge of iron (Fe) and plant nutrition. He states: "More progress was perhaps made in the 1980s on understanding and management of Fe chlorosis in plants than during the previous 150 years since it became known that Fe deficiency was involved in the chlorosis." Iron is used ...

California Turfgrass Culture

Wetting agents can be used to increase infiltration rates into hydrophobic (water repellent) soils. A field test was conducted on a soil classified as Tujunga stony sandy loam, which was found to be extremely hydrophobic to learn more about the effectiveness of wetting agents. The area is located near Fontana. The land had been farmed in small grain crops years ago and then was used as a hog ra...

System Pinpoints Stressed Turfgrass

Turfgrass managers spend a significant amount of time monitoring their turfgrass fertility and irrigation programs to ensure the most efficient use of their resources while minimizing potential environmental impacts. Characterizing the spatial variability of nutrients across a golf course or large sports facility requires careful observation and periodic collection of soil and tissue samples. R...
