| Abstract/Contents: | Provides information on bicarbonates and suggests how they can be unhealthy for golf course irrigation. States that "bicarbonates are toxic to the roots and reduce shoot growth of the turf." Suggests that "if the plant doesn't have the right amount of calcium, every time we mow or damage that plant, it has trouble replenishing that calcium." Includes the "good case study" of the Red Rock Country club, and how they used a "variety of methods to manage bicarbonates" and how these methods overcame that problem, including "using a sulfur burner to acidify the soil," "the installation of a sulfuric acid injection system," and completely changed the fertilizer system. |
