"TINE FERTILIZER RECIPE"
If you, as a homeowner, want to have a great lawn, you must understand the
fertilizer recipe. The three main ingredients of this recipe are: Nitrogen.
Phosphorus and Potassium. These •three elements make up the analysis of
a fertilizer. The numbers represent percentages of each nutrient in the bulk
total. For example: 24-4-16 means 24% Nitrogen, 4% -Phosphorus and 16°0
Potassium.
Nitrogen is the most important nutrient for turfgrass. Nitrogen is also the
most -expensive nutrient and required in the greatest quantityby turtgrass
plants. Nitrogen is responsible for lush, green colour and turf vigor.
Phosphorus aids in root development. and is very. important when establish=
ing new ;turf. Potassium or potash is necessary for maintaining hardiness
and disease resistance.
Fertilizer must be applied evenly and at the proper rate to prevent burning or
leaving stripes on the lawn. By understanding the ingredients in a fertilizer,
you can cook up a better lawn.
