Raising the environmental standards for fertiliser use

8 June 2023 Video - Webinar

Responsible turf managers need to use nitrogen fertiliser in a considered and careful way to improve efficiencies of use and sustainability in practice. With more stringent regulations coming into force in the future with regards to fertiliser use in Europe, we need to understand what that means for products on the market and, crucially, how informed decisions can be made about the optimum fertiliser to use.

Learning outcomes

  • List different fertiliser types for use on turf
  • Describe the nitrogen cycle and key potential losses of nitrogen
  • Contrast fertiliser technologies in terms of nitrogen efficiency
  • Select appropriate fertiliser technologies for maximum turf quality
