a steady rate, light and frequent fertilizer applications should be made. The nitrogen requirement of tall fescue ranges from one to four pounds of nitrogen each growing season. A higher nitrogen rate decreases temperature injury, lowers drought tolerance, and encourages brown patch disease.
             Phosphate provides the plant with means of holding and transferring energy for metabolic process. The main component of ATP phosphate is most important to the establishment of new turfgrass. Phosphate is also not readily available to plants due to the fact that it has a rapid rate of being tied up in insoluble forms.
             Potassium is next to nitrogen in plant uptake and its primary role is to aid in the synthesis of numerous plant organs. When the plant is deficient in potassium it experiences increased respiration and transpiration, reduced environmental stress tolerance, increased disease in
