In this TurfNet University webinar sponsored by LebanonTurf, John Dempsey, Ph.D., will explore how nanoparticle-based fertilizers are reshaping turfgrass nutrition, performance and sustainability.
He will discuss how nano-formulated NPK and nanosilica differ from traditional fertilizers in their physical and chemical behaviour—such as targeted delivery, controlled release, and improved compatibility—and why that matters for turf growth, color, stress tolerance, and overall plant health.
Key topics include:
- How nanosilica enhances turf resilience through improved drought tolerance, disease suppression, and nutrient uptake.
- Practical approaches for integrating nanosilica into turf programs for residential lawns, sports fields, and golf courses, including application timing and rate considerations.
- The latest research on the performance, environmental footprint, and cost-effectiveness of nanosilica in turfgrass systems.
- Emerging trends in nanotechnology and what they mean for future turf management strategies, regulations, and product development.
The webinar will also feature results from independent field and research trials, highlighting real-world outcomes in nutrition efficiency, disease management, and water-stress mitigation using nanosilica-based solutions, with clear takeaways you can apply directly to your turf management programs.
