"Organic." We are all familiar with the word, and its use conjures up certain descriptive words: "wholesome," "natural," "healthy" and "brown" might come to mind for example. But exactly how do organic fertilizers work, and what they might bring to your golf course that woiuld be different from inorganic fertilizers? This webcast will discuss different types of organic fertilizers, material sources for these products and agronomic differences due to sources. Rates of nutrient release, fertilizer behavior over time and secondary benefits of organic fertilizers will also be covered. Current research in the area of organic fertilizers for turf will also be discussed.
