Updating and upgrading your knowledge of how good nutrition supports healthy turf surfaces and top level playing surfaces will improve your golf course management. This half day class will provide technical detail on all aspects of turf nutrition, drawing upon the latest published literature and industry information to build on existing knowledge and understanding. There will be a focus on the scientific evidence of the growth and development of a turfgrass plant and exactly what is needed from your nutrition to produce a high-quality surface and a healthy plant.
Learning outcomes:
- Review current knowledge and understanding of turf nutrition and plant physiology
- Describe the turfgrass-rootzone-playing surface relationship and how it is influenced by nutritional inputs
- Contrast different nitrogen inputs for turfgrass health and sustainability
- Appraise the value of macro and micro nutrition inputs to plant function
- Critically evaluate and plan fertiliser inputs for high performing turf
