A) Purpose
a. The application will supply fertility to turf to maintain balanced nutrition. Balanced nutrition will allow turfgrass to better withstand traffic and fend off turf pest pressures. This contribution results in improved field conditions. Maximizing field quality will provide a well cushioned playing surface which will minimize the chances of sports related injuries.
b. A second portion of the application will offer prevention of annual grass species like crabgrass and goosegrass. Prevention of these weeds now will help us to avoid costly repairs, increased water usage, and remove the need of more potent herbicides.
