Updated handbook - "Precision fertilisation"
|
|
|
|
The first (2011) edition of this handbook summarised the knowledge and experiences gained in three STERF projects on fertilisation in the period 2003-2011.The new handbook has been updated with the results from the STERF projects "Optimal application of nitrogen and sulphur in autumn for better winter survival of turfgrasses" and "SUSPHOS:
Sustainable phosphorus (P) fertilization on golf courses".
"Precision fertilisation" is based on the assumption that the grass requires nutrients in constant relative proportions. The same fertiliser can therefore be used from spring until autumn and fertilisation can be adapted based on the nitrogen requirement of the grass and soil analyses. The updated handbook presents the latest knowledge and theory behind this together with simple instructions on how to carry out precision fertilisation. The new handbook is available in English, Swedish and Danish.
