Spring Time Nutrition

4/14/2016 - By JJ Jansen

With spring finally here, it is time to start planning your spring/summer fertilizer program.

The best way to plan a fertilizer program is to have a soil test taken in early spring to make sure the proper amount of nutrients are being applied to the soil. 

This includes the 3 major elements of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, but a soil test will also show the amount of micronutrients such as calcium, magnesium, iron, manganese and zinc present. Other benefits of a good soil test include checking the pH and CEC of the soil.

It is important to make sure that the soil laboratory chosen for the test is reliable and understands the needs of the sports turf manager. If you need help selecting a soil test laboratory, check with your Harrell's representative.

When the soil test results are returned, work with your local Harrell’s rep to make sure the best fertilizer program is being implemented as effectively as possible. This will mean healthy turf for all of your spring and summer events.

To learn more about making sense of soil test results, check out this video with Dr. Snyder: Interpreting Soil Test Results for Turf.

Spring Time Nutrition

Con la primavera ya aquí, es tiempo para comenzar la planificación de su programa de fertilizante de primavera/verano.

La mejor forma de planificar un programa de fertilizante es tener su terreno examinado al principio de primavera para estar seguro que la cantidad apropiada de nutriente está siendo aplicada al terreno.

Esto incluye los 3 elementos mayores de nitrógeno, fósforo y potasio, pero su terreno también mostrara la cantidad de micronutrientes tal como calcio, magnesio, hierro, manganeso y zinc presente.  Otros beneficios de un buen terreno incluye la examinación de pH y CEC del terreno.

Es importante asegurarse de que el laboratorio del terreno escogido para el examen es confiable y entiende la necesidad del gerente de césped de deporte.  Si necesita ayuda seleccionando un laboratorio para la examinación de terreno, contacte su representante de Harrell’s.

Cuando el examen del terreno regresa, trabaje con su representante local de Harrell’s para asegurarse que el mejor programa de fertilizante está siendo implementado lo mas efectivo posible.  Esto significa un césped saludable para todos sus eventos en la primavera y verano.
