		<title>Understanding Nitrogen Fertilizer Sources</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Nitrogen is the most widely used nutrient source that promotes plant growth.  The degree of plant response with nitrogen is a function of application rate and the source of nitrogen utilized.  Depending on the nitrogen source used, the length of nutrient release can vary from a couple of weeks to several months. &#8230;]]></description>

In order to maintain healthy, strong turf that can withstand  the extreme summer weather, turf managers need every edge in order to retain  peak playing conditions during the stressful times.

		<title>Insect of the Month: Lacewings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This month I wanted to focus on a beneficial insect that often gets overlooked, but serves a critical role in a sound IPM program…Lacewings. Now Lacewings should not be confused with Lacebugs which can damage plants, rather Lacewings are usually predacious and feed on other insects.

		<title>Sufficiency Level of Available Nutrients</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For years, turf managers have been taught various methods of interpreting soil and tissue analysis which would then correspond to an appropriate nutrient application.  Commonly, ratios have been used (such as base saturation, N:K, etc.).  While these methods serve a purpose, in the last 15 years or so, many scientists have moved more towards the&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>Fundamentals of Water Quality</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whether one is growing flowering perennials or large shade trees, the common denominator of all nursery operations is water. You know the liquid form of two hydrogen ions latching on to the mother ship ion, oxygen. But water itself is not the biggest issue compared to what else is in it. So this month&#8217;s topic&#8230;]]></description>
