Normal leaf nitrogen content for putting green grasses
February 25, 2024
It's surprisingly difficult to get good data for normal levels of nutrients in turfgrass leaves. The normal levels vary by species and by the way the grass is managed. A general range for Poa pratensis may leave you wondering if that range is also applicable to Agrostis stolonifera.
We've been studying this for a long time, and are sharing these results with updated recommendations for what is normal leaf nutrient content on golf course putting greens. These data are from samples collected from putting greens from 2019 to 2023; these are nutrient levels that correspond with modern maintenance practices. All…
