What Does Sustainability Really Mean?
29 October 2013
This question comes up a lot, and Dr. Wendy Gelernter of PACE Turf gives a straightforward answer in this podcast from Golf Course Industry. She explains how the MLSN guidelines and associated sustainability index (SI) for each nutrient can be used to track quantifiable progress towards fewer inputs, all while producing the same high performance turfgrass surfaces.
Dr. Gelernter also talks about the Global Soil Survey for Sustainable Turf in this interview. This exciting new citizen science project will change the way we think about turfgrass fertilization, all while helping golf course superintendents to demonstrate quantifiable progress toward more sustainable use of fertilizers.
