The water-soluble element of the phosphorus content of a fertiliser, which is expressed as Phosphorus Pentoxide (P2O5). It is also distinguished between highly water-soluble which would indicate that the phosphorus is more readily available to a plant and low water-solubility, which can vary from being readily to slowly available.

A practice which is routinely carried out on high class, sand-based, stadia pitches which also have undersoil heating and supplementary lighting to encourage growth over the typical dormant grass growth period. Great care needs to be exercised with winter fertiliser applications as these practices are forcing grass to grow, making them more susceptible to physical abrasive damage, as well as disease and nematode attack. Root growth becomes weakened and this is visibly evidenced in televised games by often considerable divoting, even on reinforced pitches. The requirement to create an ideal pl

A micronutrient, which is represented by the chemical symbol Zn. Zinc is a constituent of many enzymes and is involved with plant metabolisms, especially protein synthesis and carbohydrate production and influences auxin activity, e.g. IAA. Zinc deficiency can result in reduced (stunted) shoot growth, white-brown spots on established leaves, or yellowing on young leaves.
