Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the effects of fertilizer demand on pricing, focusing on the reactions of superintendents. Identifies the global marketplace as the "No. 1 driver of fertilizer prices." Suggests that "superintendents should recognize that nitrogen, phosphate and potash each has its own market and dynamics." Describes pricing trends in 2010 and emphasizes the effects of the world population, increasing wealth, and the resulting dietary changes on the supply of and demand for fertilizer. Mentions resultant changes to golf course budgets and purchasing plans. |
