LAWN grasses
get a boost
FROM NITROGEN
fj ew nitrogen materials are
helping homeowners have
ureener. prettier lawns, ac
cording to a Cooperative Ex
tension Service agronomist.
P. J. Bergeaux, of the Uni
versity of Georgia, said the
new sources of nitrogen tend
w o vt ome some of the prob
lems associated with applying
ammonium nitrate or nitrate of
soda to iawn grasses.
The new sources, he said,
qre called “ureaform.” They
are made by mixing urea and
formaldehyde which react with
each other to form a material
containing about 38 percent
nitrogen.
About two-thirds of the nitro
gen is insoluble in water, and
this accounts for some of its
advantages over older, more
common sources of N.
According to Mr. Bergeaux,
the advantages include: (1)
Since most of the nitrogen is
not water soluble it does not
burn the foliage and conse
quently does not have to be
watered in. (2) The nitrogen
is released slowly, thus elimi
latmg the necessity of frequent
applications during the grow
ing season.
The main disadvantage of
ureaform nitrogen is its rela
tive high cost compared to in
organic water soluble sources
such as ammonium nitrate or
nitrate of soda.
Mr. Bergeaux said most
homeowners are aware of the
lenefils of applying a nitrogen

source, such as ammonium ni
trate or nitrate of soda, to
lawn grasses. “The lawn
greens up quickly and grows
rapidly,” he added.
However, the agronomist
continued, “there are also
some problems associated with
applying these inorganic
sources of nitrogen. If the
nitrogen is not watered in, the
grass may be burned and
have an unsightly appearance.
In addition, frequent small
applications of nitrogen are
necessary to maintain a desir
able dark green color and lush
growth of the 'awn. This is
necessary because the inor
ganic sources of nitrogen are
easily leached from the soil
by rainwater.”

Since egg shells are not
moisture-proof or vapor-proof,
they need a protective covering
to preserve that freshly laid
