Millions of consumer products are now labeled nutrients added so turfgrass managers should follow suit and use more nutrients on turf. Wait - maybe that’s not sound logic. In this 90-minute ASCS Prep series webinar, Beth Guertal, Ph.D., looks at logic based on science to outline practices for nutrient use. She starts with the plant’s response to a nutrient deficiency, covers macro versus micro nutrients then answers questions like:
- What is an essential nutrient?
- Which do we commonly apply as fertilizers?
- Does toil testing matter and which type is better?
Listen in to hear how nutrient use can impact your management practices.
