Soil nutrient levels—especially in sand rootzones—can change rapidly

Soil nutrient levels might change more rapidly than you realize. This has implications for whether nutrients should be applied as fertilizer, or not. I showed data from an experiment I did when I was a graduate student in this blog post:https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/soil-nutrient-levels-change/Jason Haines has written about a similar topic, and explained it perhaps more clearly than I have. I recommend his blog post on "Do you have enough?": https://fusariummy.blogspot.com/2023/02/do-you-have-enough.htmlTo read more about this experiment, see this chapter in my dissertation: http://archive.lib.msu.edu/tic/thesdiss/woods2006h.pdfRead more about all kinds of turfgrass topics at https://www.asianturfgrass.com/Find turfgrass information and decision-making tools at https://www.paceturf.org/See the PACE Turf YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/user/paceturfSee the ATC newsletters at https://subscribepage.com/atc_newslettersListen to the ATC Doublecut with Micah Woods podcast at https://atc-doublecut.transistor.fm/Listen to the ATC Office Hours podcast at https://atc-office-hours.transistor.fm/ More about ATC soil tests at https://www.asianturfgrass.com/project/soil-tests/
