Lawn Fertilizers For Cool Season Turf, Taun Beddes, Kelly Kopp
All Current Publications
Lawns provide a durable and functional surface for many outdoor activities while adding beauty to the landscape. For these reasons, a healthy, green lawn is the goal of many homeowners and landscape managers. Keeping a lawn healthy and green may require many management practices such as mowing, irrigation and aerification. Often, these practices will include fertilizing with supplemental nutrients at various times during the growing season. This promotes optimum turf color, improves re-growth, and increases tolerance to wear, drought, insects and disease. The broad number of fertilizer options available from retailers can make choosing a fertilizer difficult. However, choosing an …

Western Tentiform Leafminer Phyllonorycter Elmaella, Diane G. Alston, Michael E. Reding
Western Tentiform Leafminer Phyllonorycter Elmaella, Diane G. Alston, Michael E. Reding
All Current Publications
Western tentiform leafminer populations can vary tremendously between years or even between generations within a single year. A large population in Utah's commercial fruit districts hasn't been observed since the early 2000s. Increasing resistance to organophosphate insecticides and variable effectiveness of at least six parasitic wasp species that attack the leafminer can influence the population size.

Solutions To Soil Problems: Ii. High Ph (Alkaline Soil), Loralie Cox, Rich Koenig
All Current Publications
PH is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a material. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral. A pH value below 7 indicates the soil is acidic, while values above 7 are alkaline. Each unit change in the pH scale is a 10-fold difference in acidity or alkalinity. For example, soil with a pH of 8 is ten times more alkaline than soil with a pH of 7.

Soil structure refers to the combination of primary soil particles – sand, silt and clay – into larger units called aggregates or clods. Aggregates are commonly seen when a soil is tilled or disturbed.
Solutions To Soil Problems: V. Low Organic Matter, Kevin Heaton, Rich Koenig
Solutions To Soil Problems: V. Low Organic Matter, Kevin Heaton, Rich Koenig
All Current Publications
Utah soils are inherently low in organic matter due to the desert climate and historically low plant growth rates. In Utah, soil organic matter levels are typically 0.25 to 1%, while regions with high rainfall such as the Midwest and Eastern United States have soils with as much as 7 to 10% organic matter.

Solutions To Soil Problems: I. High Salinity (Soluble Salts), Vernon Parent, Rich Koenig
All Current Publications
Salinity is a measure of the total amount of soluble salts in soil. As soluble salt levels increase, it becomes more difficult for plants to extract water from soil. Some plants are more resistant than other’s, but as the salt levels exceed their ability to extract water, they become water stressed.

Solutions To Soil Problems: Iii. Drainage, Michael Johnson, Rich Koenig
Solutions To Soil Problems: Iii. Drainage, Michael Johnson, Rich Koenig
All Current Publications
Drainage is a common problem throughout Utah. Complex patterns of soil development, transport and deposition have resulted in excessively drained soils that are coarse-textured (sandy or rocky), and poorly drained soils that are fine-textured (silt and clay-dominated). Excessively drained are more common in higher elevation and bench areas.
