Fall Fertilization

A good nitrogen application in the fall is a healthy way to start the 2009 season. Now that the soil temperatures have dropped below 40 degrees the turfgrass plant has slowed growth tremendously. However it is a great time to build carbohydrates and strengthen the plant for the winter months. When soil temperatures warm up in the spring the plant can respond to these changes positively. This application is critical for better winter survival and spring rejuvenation. At Vail Golf Club we use Ammonium Sulfate which is popular in these climates. It is very economical and provides an excellent source of quick nitrogen to reach our goals. This application will take the entire week.
