Broadcast 6 lbs 16-4-8 per 1,000 square feet again in mid to late February. Slow-release fertilizers preferred. (Recommendation when phosphorus and potassium soil tests are L-L, L-M, L-S, M-L, M-M, M-S) 408 In September, broadcast 2 lbs triple phosphate (0-46-0) and 3 lbs of a fertilizer containing around 30% nitrogen (such as 29-2-2, 29-2-5, 28-4-4, or 29-2-5) per 1,000 square feet, and then repeat nitrogen application again in November if more growth or better color is desired. Repeat nitrogen application in mid to late February. Slow-release fertilizers preferred. (Recommendation when phosphorus and potassium soil tests are L-H, L-EX, M-H, M-EX) 409 In September, broadcast 6 lbs 15-0-15 or equivalent fertilizer per 1,000 square feet, and then repeat application in November if more growth or better color is desired. Repeat application again in mid to late February. Slow-release fertilizers preferred.

(Recommendation when phosphorus and potassium soil tests are H-H, H-EX, EX-H, EX-EX) 411 The extent of growth can be controlled by the amount of nitrogen fertilizer applied, low maintenance at the rate between 1 to 2 lbs nitrogen per 1,000 square feet per year, high maintenance between 2 to 3 lbs nitrogen per 1,000 square feet per year. If the grass clippings are removed, the amount of fertilizer applied should be increased by 25% and the turf soil tested every other fall to determine what additions of phosphate and/or potash will be needed to sustain vigorous growth. 535 Broadcast dolomitic limestone as recommended, either in the fall or early spring. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
