Common Sense Approach to Fertility "Why didn't someone think of this before?" Fertility programs should consider the effects nitrogen has on the soil's C:N ratio. This fundamental tenant is important, widely discussed but usually not practiced.

Introduction    ◊    Presentation    ◊    Library

Programs considering the interdependence between nitrogen and carbon will help turf managers and growers in the following ways at no extra cost:

• Reduce plant nutrient requirements
• Minimize leaching and runoff
• Increase tolerance to drought & heat stress
• Reduce plant disease causing pathogens
• Reduce plant protection chemical usage

The benefits of organic matter and the carbon it contains are well known. HOW TO REALIZE these benefits is not as well known, so the presentation’s message is long overdue. Provided is an easy-to-learn method of fertility that accounts for nitrogen and carbon!

Budgeting for organic matter is the critical first step in any program referred to as organic. As a common denominator of all organic fertilizers, learn how much is actual organic matter, the relevance of this percentage and rates to apply. Programmed quantities of organic matter are needed.

Support for such additions is provided in Common Sense Approach To Fertility. Presented in a clear and concise manner we explore the weight of soil’s living matter. What should it weigh? Other important values such as this biomass:

• The weight of soil itself
• The amount of naturally occurring organic matter contained in the soil
• The amount of organic matter replenishments required by the soil

These values can be known but are not constant. Weather, atmospheric and decomposition activities alter the condition of organic matter in soil thus complicating the desire to stabilize the soil's C:N ratio. See how this complex interrelationship works but how simple it can be managed in most circumstances. Such a practical program is deceiving.

Can you really learn of an economical solution
for a sustainable yet effective fertility program
to fulfill your stewardship responsibilities
for the environment under your care?
