Fertilizer selection is based upon a number of factors - overall turf
condition, amount and frequency of foot traffic, soil test results, history of
disease, temperature and drought stress, desired growth and greening results.
Use the tips below as a guide for choosing a fertilizer with the appropriate
nutrient ratio for your turf and landscape needs.
-
Choose a fertilizer with a high nitrogen-to-potassium ratio (2:1 or higher)
when:
-
Turf is in overall good condition.
-
The desired result is consistent and/or accelerated top growth.
-
Applying in the spring when no fertilizer was put down in the fall.
-
Choose a fertilizer with a high potassium-to-nitrogen ratio (1:2 or higher)
when:
-
Soil test results show low potassium levels.
- Periods of stress from heat, cold, drought or traffic.
-
Turf area to be fertilized has a history of disease.
-
Choose a fertilizer with a balanced nitrogen-to-potassium ratio (1:1) when:
-
Turf is in good condition and general maintenance is desired.
-
Stressful conditions, such as drought, high heat or traffic persist.
-
A reduction in top growth is desired.
