Statewide, home lawns constitute the single greatest area of managed turf grass. In comparison, the total acreage of managed turf grass on all North Carolina golf courses is esti mated to be less than 8,(XX) acres. Misapplication of fertilizers or pesticides on home lawns has the greatest potential of adversely af fecting the environment. A healthy, properly maintained lawn is an environmental asset that provides oxygen to breathe, reduces soil erosion and provides a beautiful groundcovcr for the landscape. Every gardener can help protect the environment by using sound, re search-proven management tech niques. Follow these basic guidelines for an environmentally sound lawn: 1. Don't bag grass clippings. If you do bag clippings, compost them and reuse them in your garden. 2. Apply pcsticidcs only when an insect or disease problem has been diagnosed and then apply only the pesticide needed by strictly follow ing label instructions. 3. Use herbicides only if you have a weed problem. A spudding tool ? a forked metal spoon? can be used to manually remove many weeds without chemical herbicides. Apply herbicides only when other alterna tives have failed and then follow la bel instructions. 4. Soil test! Apply only the fertil izer your lawn requires. Excessive or improper fertilizer application wastes money and contributes to en vironmental problems. Warm season grasses such as bermuda, centipede, St. Augustine, zoysia, carpet and bahia arc best fer tilized when a vigorous root system has established. For the coastal plains of the Carolinas, this means lawn fertilization is best from April 15 until June. (May is the optimum month to fertilize most warm season grasses.) Early fertilization may waste fer THE PLANT DOCTOR C. BRUCE WILLIAMS Extension Area Turf Specialist tilizcr bccausc the grass plant may not have a developed root system to take up the nutrients. The proper application of fertiliz er or granular pesticides is critical for good turf grass management anil the environment. Before you fertil ize your lawn this year, take time to calibrate your fertilizer spreader. Calibrating A Spreader There arc a series of simple steps to take in calibrating a drop- or ro tary-type spreader. 1. Place a 10- by 25-foot sheet of plastic on a level surface. 2. Partially fill the spreader with the fertilizer material you will use. Set the spreader controls to the rec ommended setting or to a setting you have used before. 3. With the spreader on the plas tic, push the spreader in a straight line at the same speed you normally apply the fertilizer to your lawn. 4. Measure the width and length, in feet, of the swath of fertilizer spread on the plastic. 5. Collect and weigh, in pounds, the amount of fertilizer dropped on the plastic.

Calculate the aniounl of fertil izer that would be applied to 1.000 square feet. 7. Repeat the process three times and take the average weight of the fertilizer material collected. For (-f.imnlr vjiv von follow ihe ...... r above instructions and get the fol lowing information: Spreader sel ling, 5; width of spread, two feet: length of spread, 25 feet; weight of fertilizer collected, 0.5 pounds (av erage of three passes).

Ifertilker i?lkUid) lt)M) 2 feet x 25 feet (area of swath) In this example, X equals 10 pounds of fertilizer per 1,(XK) square feet. This tells you that your spreader is applying 10 pounds of material per 1,(XX) square feel. If your spreader is applying too much fertil izer or not enough, then adjust the setting on the spreader and repeal steps I through 7. Crucial to the success of applying the corrcct amount of fertilizer is knowing the exact square lootagc of your lawn area. This can be easily calculated by measuring your lawn and recording the information. _ Photography. Studio At The Courthouse Square in Whiteville 1-800-352-0563 Call > ?u IntoniMS. 'i(>i !ir?*i.uu Oncc you know the area of your lawn and the amount of fertilizer your spreader is putting down, then you are ready to icrtili/.c your lawn. Fertilizer streaks can be avoided by careful placement of the fertilizer material or by applying one-half the recommended rate of fertilizer one direction and the other half in a per pendicular direction. After you have gone through all this, record the amount of fertilizer applied and the setting you used on your spreader for future reference. Good luck.
