Last week, Dan made the first application of Primo on Thursday. We have also been experiencing a spell of extremely cold weather. Either due to the cooler weather or bronzing from the primo application, the plots were growing extremely slowly. The SR 1020 plots especially seem to be a bit chlorotic and just lacking the overall health that would be desired at this time of year.
For this reason, I applied a greens grade fertilizer at a rate of 0.26 lb N/1000 ft2. I am hoping this shot of fast release Nitrogen will accelerate the growth of the plots and lead to healthier turf prior to the implementation of further treatments and heat stress. The weather for the end of the week looks like it may be more conducive for bentgrass growth, so hopefully the fertilizer and better weather will get the grass growing again.
