That's what slow- and controlled-release
fertilizers do. When you feed grass steadily
and constantly—as the roots need it—the
fertilizer doesn't have a chance to get lost."
By gradually delivering nitrogen and
other nutrients to correspond to plants' uptake, slow- and controlled-release fertilizers
can virtually eliminate nutrient loss. Steady
feeding minimizes surge growth and reduces the number of fertilizer applications
needed during a season.
The advantages and benefits of EEFs are
becoming an important part of the new legislative trends. As industry experts, scientists, stakeholders and policy makers look
for ways to alleviate nitrogen runoff, EEFs
are tested alternatives that can be a significant part of the solution.

BEST MANAGEMENT
PRACTICES
Fertilizer advocates and industry leaders
have adopted the "4R Nutrient Stewardship," a science-based approach to best
management practices. The 4R system calls
for the Right Product to be applied at the
Right Rate, Right Time and Right Place.
When those criteria are met, plants should
thrive and fertilizer should stay where it's
intended to be.
"Proper use of plant nutrients can actually improve water quality, while banning
them could have the opposite effect," said
Blaylock. "Properly fertilized plants are
healthier, so they're better able to utilize
the nutrients in the soil and protect the
soil from degradation. Unhealthy plants
have poor root systems and stimulate less
biological activity in the soil. They don't
use nutrients efficiently, which leads to
greater probability of nutrient and soil
loss."
"People are accepting the idea of EEFs,
and we continue to learn how to better use
these tools," Blaylock said. "The advances
in technology are amazing in terms of what
we can do to control fertilizer release and
minimize pollution," added Fox. "It's exciting to realize we have the knowledge and
abilities to do this right." ■
