Mixtures of Bedding Material May Reduce Odors in Deep‐Bedded Livestock Facilities

A dense and healthy lawn is capable of retaining properly applied nitrogen fertilizer with minimal nutrient loss to the environment. In Texas and much of the southern United States, urban water conservation strategies often include reduced irrigation programs, which can diminish the health and density of residential lawns temporarily. The impact of water conservation programs such as deficit irrigation on the ability of turfgrasses to retain nitrogen fertilizer is not well understood.
