Abstract
An important aspect of turf management is having a proper fertility program. Fertilizers are important for plant health and overall turf quality. Recently there has been an increased demand for natural fertilizers. Natural fertilizers have many benefits compared with synthetic fertilizers. Natural fertilizers often are slow-release fertilizers and contain secondary or trace nutrients, and they can improve soil structure and water holding capacity. The objective of this study is to compare the effects of natural fertilizers on turfgrass with a conventional synthetic fertilizer. This is the first year of a two-year study.
