Rhode
Island Nutrient Management Workbook & Training Manual:
These
tools were originally developed by the University
of Vermont Extension and adapted for Rhode Island
Farms by the URI Cooperative Extension Water Quality
Program
in cooperation
with USDA
NRCS Rhode
Island.
The
RI Nutrient Management Workbooks meet the USDA NRCS RI
Nutrient Management Practice Standard (590)
and include elements for Comprehensive Nutrient
Management Plan (CNMP) documentation.

Nutrient
Management Guidelines for Turfgrass Sod Production
in Southern New England
This
work is a result of a partnership with the University of
Connecticut, Dr.
Karl Guillard, Turfgrass Science Program and focuses
on the use of objective methods to guide nitrogen fertilization
in turfgrass sod production. This work is in cooperation
with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service Rhode
Island.

Sheets: University of Connecticut, Dept. Plant Science
and Landscape Architecture
Recommendations
to guide Nitrogen and Phosphorus Fertilization for Sod
Production in Southern New England
Reflectance Meters to Guide N Fertilization
of Turf Sod
Tissue Tests to Guide N fertilization of
Turf Sod: Total N test and the Verdure Nitrate Test
