Fertilizer Recommendations


Nitrogen requirements of Kentucky bluegrass are much higher during the establishment year than during subsequent years. The grass will respond to 5 to 6 pounds of nitrogen the first year; whereas, 2 to 3 pounds are adequate for maintenance after the first year. During summer months Kentucky bluegrass will burn if too much soluble nitrogen is applied at one time or if it is not watered in immediately after application. No more than ° pound of soluble nitrogen per 1,000 sq. ft. should be applied in one application. Slow release nitrogen sources can be applied in larger amounts and less frequently.
