Nitrogen Fertilizers
Slow Releasealso “controlled release” (CR) or
water insoluble (WIN)
![Page 12: Florida-Friendly Best Management Practices for Protection of Water Resources by the Green Industries Fertilizer Module 4 Draft FINAL Version August 24,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/551bc77d550346af588b4ef6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Urea Formaldehyde• Insoluble organic
• 38% N; 65-71% WIN
• Biological N release
o Rate influenced by soil temperature
o Less effective in cool seasons
• Microbes release N as urea
![Page 13: Florida-Friendly Best Management Practices for Protection of Water Resources by the Green Industries Fertilizer Module 4 Draft FINAL Version August 24,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/551bc77d550346af588b4ef6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

![Page 17: Florida-Friendly Best Management Practices for Protection of Water Resources by the Green Industries Fertilizer Module 4 Draft FINAL Version August 24,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/551bc77d550346af588b4ef6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Leaching & Runoff PotentialQuick release sources vs. slow release sources
• Quick release sources, properly applied, do not leach significantly more
• The potential for leaching due to misapplication or overwatering is greater with soluble sources
• The potential for leaching due to heavy rain soon after applying is greater with soluble sources
• The potential for runoff due to heavy rain several weeks after application may be greater with slow release sources
![Page 18: Florida-Friendly Best Management Practices for Protection of Water Resources by the Green Industries Fertilizer Module 4 Draft FINAL Version August 24,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/551bc77d550346af588b4ef6/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Why use slow release fertilizers?
![Page 19: Florida-Friendly Best Management Practices for Protection of Water Resources by the Green Industries Fertilizer Module 4 Draft FINAL Version August 24,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/551bc77d550346af588b4ef6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Fertilization of Established Grasses:• Should be applied based on soil and/or tissue test
• Often ample in plant available form in FL
• Turf needs are low
• DACS Fertilizer Rule limits use:o 0.25 lb 1,000 ft-2 per applicationo 0.5 lb 1,000 ft-2 yearly
• Needs increase under traffic or other stresses
Phosphate Fertilizers
![Page 20: Florida-Friendly Best Management Practices for Protection of Water Resources by the Green Industries Fertilizer Module 4 Draft FINAL Version August 24,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/551bc77d550346af588b4ef6/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Potassium
• Potassium is like a multi-vitamin for turf
• Provides some resistance to many stresses
• Is not a curative, but should be part of a fertilization plan
• N:K ratio 2:1 or 1:1 under stress
![Page 21: Florida-Friendly Best Management Practices for Protection of Water Resources by the Green Industries Fertilizer Module 4 Draft FINAL Version August 24,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/551bc77d550346af588b4ef6/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• A Magnesium deficiency may be found in many parts of the State
• 2 ½ lbs. Mg/1000ft²/yr may be applied
Magnesium (Mg)
![Page 22: Florida-Friendly Best Management Practices for Protection of Water Resources by the Green Industries Fertilizer Module 4 Draft FINAL Version August 24,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/551bc77d550346af588b4ef6/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
What about micro nutrients?
![Page 23: Florida-Friendly Best Management Practices for Protection of Water Resources by the Green Industries Fertilizer Module 4 Draft FINAL Version August 24,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/551bc77d550346af588b4ef6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

• Ensure they are clean and maintained properly
• Double check the material used and application rate desired
Calibration
![Page 38: Florida-Friendly Best Management Practices for Protection of Water Resources by the Green Industries Fertilizer Module 4 Draft FINAL Version August 24,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/551bc77d550346af588b4ef6/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Spreader Calibration• Determine amount needed for the
test area
• Capture material (bucket or measured tarp)
• Walk the spreader over test area
• Weigh applied material
• Compare to the required amount
• Adjust spreader
![Page 39: Florida-Friendly Best Management Practices for Protection of Water Resources by the Green Industries Fertilizer Module 4 Draft FINAL Version August 24,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/551bc77d550346af588b4ef6/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Sprayer Calibration• Determine how much fertilizer is
needed for the test area
• Determine how long it takes to spray that area
• Determine the amount sprayed in that time
• Compare and adjust as needed
![Page 40: Florida-Friendly Best Management Practices for Protection of Water Resources by the Green Industries Fertilizer Module 4 Draft FINAL Version August 24,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/551bc77d550346af588b4ef6/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
• Deliver the fertilizer to the target
• Check the delivery rate
• Check for appearance
• Avoid non-target surfaces
• Operate the equipment safely
Application
![Page 41: Florida-Friendly Best Management Practices for Protection of Water Resources by the Green Industries Fertilizer Module 4 Draft FINAL Version August 24,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/551bc77d550346af588b4ef6/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

Take half of the total amount of fertilizer:o 15% = 6.6 lbs fertilizer per 1,000 square feeto Half of this = 3.3 lbs fertilizer in spreader
Then take the remaining fertilizer and go in other directions
Application
![Page 43: Florida-Friendly Best Management Practices for Protection of Water Resources by the Green Industries Fertilizer Module 4 Draft FINAL Version August 24,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/551bc77d550346af588b4ef6/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Then take the remaining fertilizer and go in opposite directions
This will help you apply the correct amount of fertilizer!

• Use a deflector shield near water
• Leave at least 3’ ring
• Without a shield leave 10’ ring
• Ordinances may vary
• Use the shield near impervious areas and storm water systems

Fertilizer Storage• Store fertilizer in areas protected
from rainfall
• Load fertilizer away from wells or waterbodies
• Store fertilizer away from flammable substances
• Clean up spills immediately
![Page 49: Florida-Friendly Best Management Practices for Protection of Water Resources by the Green Industries Fertilizer Module 4 Draft FINAL Version August 24,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/551bc77d550346af588b4ef6/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Irrigation After Fertilization
• Even at proper rates, too much water can result in leaching or runoff
• Irrigate fertilizer in with ¼” of water
• Do not fertilize when heavy rainfall is expected
(NWS tropical watch or warning or flood watch for the area)
![Page 50: Florida-Friendly Best Management Practices for Protection of Water Resources by the Green Industries Fertilizer Module 4 Draft FINAL Version August 24,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/551bc77d550346af588b4ef6/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
• Proper application is more important than the type of fertilizer
• Soluble N sources differ in chemical properties and handling requirements
• Slow-release N sources are not 100% slow-release and they differ in their release properties

• Knowledge of fertilizer management is one of the most important tools in limiting the environmental impact
• Irrigation Management is the other critical tool
• Educating the customer is critical
