Scale of 1-14; 1 being most acidic and 14 being most alkaline. Ideal soil pH for turfgrass growth is between 5.5 and 6.5. Above or below this range, nutrient availability may become limited.

The sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) describes the relative concentration of soil solution sodium to calcium and magnesium. Higher SAR values indicate an increased likelihood of soil deflocculation, and inhibition of water movement and air exchange. The SAR formula describes ion concentrations in meq/L and soil test values must be converted prior to utilizing the equation. To convert ppm (or mg/L) to milliequivalent per liter (meq/L) use the following formula:

Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) – The sum total of exchangeable cations that a soil can adsorb. Expressed in milliequivalents per 100 grams of soil. Plant nutrient cations include: potassium (K + ), calcium (Ca 2+ ), magnesium (Mg 2+ ), iron (Fe 2+ ), zinc (Zn 2+ ), copper (Cu 2+ ), manganese (Mn 2+ ), ammonium (NH 4+ ), and sodium (Na + ). Higher values indicate a greater cation-nutrient holding capacity. Organic Matter Percent (OM%) – Percent organic matter by weight. Organic matter can influence nutrient holding capacity, soil structure, water infiltration and retention, and nitrogen mineralization.

Test

Mehlich III, Bray-P1, and Olsen Mehlich III, Bray-P1, and Olsen procedures describe the amount of plant-available nutrients on soil exchange sites. Compared to a SPE test, these procedures better describe total soil nutrient reserves. Two methods of interpretation are outlined below. Sufficiency Level of Available Nutrients (SLAN) – Use SLAN as a minimum threshold to determine if soil test nutrient values are adequate to support plant growth. Values were originally developed as a guideline for crop nutrition; however, have been successfully applied to guide turfgrass nutrition. A fertilizer application should be considered when soil test values fall below the ranges indicated below. See Table 3 for SLAN guidelines . Minimum Levels for Sustainable Nutrition (MLSN) – Use MLSN as a minimum threshold to determine if soil test nutrient values are adequate to sustain healthy turf growth. Developed in 2014 by Pace Turf and the Asian Turfgrass Center following analysis of >3,500 soil samples which supported healthy turf, had pH values between 5.5 – 8.5, and a total exchange capacity of

1. Foliar absorption in turfgrass is well-documented. It occurs through channels in the cuticle. a. Researchers have used isotopes to measure more accurately the rate of N absorption b. All nutrients are capable of being foliar absorbed c. Nitrogen is absorbed the most easily d. Some chelates are inappropriate for foliar absorption; however, organic chelates (citrate, glucoheptanate) enhance foliar absorption of micronutrients 2. Urea is the most suitable source of N for foliar absorption, due to its neutral charge, its low salt index, and its high solubility; however, there is potential for volatilization. Ammonium sulfate is also absorbed well, but it has the potential for phytotoxicity. Potassium nitrate is not a good source for foliar absorption. 3. Studies report a range of 30-60% for foliar absorption of urea N; most peg it around 50-55% for both bentgrass and bermudagrass a. 50% absorption occurs within the first hour b. Absorption is enhanced in higher humidity c. Absorption is enhanced by the use of a surfactant to help coat the leaf tissue d. Absorption occurs best at temperatures ranging from 65-85 degrees e. Absorption occurs best in the early morning or at night f. Absorption of N continues up to 24 hours after application g. Absorption of N declines a little in the summer for cool season turf 4. Water volume does affect foliar absorption. However, increasing the dilution rate from 20 gals/A to 80 gals/A results in only slightly less foliar absorption. 5. Liquid N that is not foliar-absorbed is still readily available to the plant through other entry points The Science Behind FOLIAR ABSORPTION

Therefore, Harrell’s MAX products are ideal for foliar and liquid feeding. 1. All of the N products (except 6-0-0) are urea based 2. All of the urea N products have half of the N stabilized with UMAXX to prevent volatilization and to provide a more consistent feed over the application interval 3. All of the micronutrients are chelated with organic chelates

To get the most out of your foliar program: 1. Use stabilized urea sources 2. Use products with organic chelates 3. Use an adjuvant like Harrell’s Fungicide Activator 4. Use flat fan nozzles to increase leaf surface coverage 5. Since foliar absorption doesn’t decline that much with higher volumes of water, go ahead and use up to 2 gals/1,000 sf dilution to facilitate time-saving tank-mixes References: • Branham, USGA Turfgrass Environmental Research Online , Vol. 9, #19, Oct 1, 2010 • Richardson et al., University of AR, Dept of Horticulture, Research Series 568, 2008

The key to POLYON® fertilizer is its patented reactive layer coating (RLC) technology. Unlike other coated products, POLYON® fertilizer forms a bond with the urea substrate during the coating process that ensures consistency and durability in every particle. POLYON® fertilizer will not crack or lead to premature release of nutrients into the environment.
