example 1

[0054] FARMLINKS, Fayetteville, Alabama, U.S. TM The managers of the golf course need to develop a seasonal fertilizer program to keep the golf course in good condition during the summer. He wants to fertilize in the last week of April, and does not want to fertilize again before mid-August. In order to achieve his goal, he hopes to determine or confirm the fertilizer ingredients used, the grade of the fertilizer used, and the nutrient application rate used.

[0055]The administrator uses the present invention to determine or confirm his purpose without the accompanying problems of trial and error. The administrator uses the CD-ROM of the present invention to input data such as preselected information into the parameter request field of the request. After entering the data into the requested parameter request field, the routine is executed. The administrator then receives the fertilizer analysis results based on the parameters entered in the request. The administrator checks these...

[0097] FARMLINKS, Fayetteville, Alabama, U.S. TM The golf course will host a golf tournament at the end of August. It is hoped that the green and healthy lawn on the golf course will meet the best conditions for the tournament. Due to accompanying problems, FARMLINKS TM The golf course keeper did not want to fertilize again shortly before the game. Therefore, golf course managers use the present invention to predict fertilizer performance, especially the time to re-fertilize, and use the present invention to determine the appropriate fertilizer requirements to meet their needs. This example illustrates the present invention, in which the re-fertilization time, the amount of nitrogen released by the fertilizer after the re-fertilization, and the remaining amount of nitrogen released by the fertilizer after the re-fertilization are included in the fertilizer performance analysis results.

[0098] Administrators use the present invention to achieve their goals and avoid calculation e...

[0184] In different climates, fertilizers work differently. Therefore, in the selection of fertilizer, the grade of controlled release fertilizer can play an important role. For example, for cold-season turfgrass and warm-season turfgrass, fertilizers may provide different results. Therefore, the present invention is useful for determining the fertilizer performance of warm-season turfgrass and cold-season turfgrass. This example illustrates the results of the fertilizer performance analysis of the cold-season turfgrass type using the present invention.

[0185] Managers of golf courses in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania typically use the present invention as described in the above example to specifically determine fertilizer performance and re-fertilization time, as described below. In the initial parameter requirements field of the request, the administrator enters the following data:

[0186] Facility type: golf course; unit of calculation: English; turfgrass type: cold season; countr...

Abstract

A method of predicting fertilizer performance for optimum efficiency of a fertilizer is described. The method of conducting a computerized fertilizer performance analysis is based upon a request including a plurality of parameter requirements entered on a client computer. A routine is then performed to analyze the plurality of parameter requirements. The routine may be performed by a software program, such as on a provider computer via the Internet, on a CD-ROM inserted into the client computer or downloaded onto the client computer. Upon completion, the fertilizer performance analysis results are received by the client computer and preferably include re-application time, nutrient release indicator, amount of nutrients released, fertilizer nutrient release rate, suggested fertilizer application rate, percent quick release, average nutrient release per time interval, cumulative nutrient release, nutrient longevity, fertilizer spread rate, total amount of fertilizer required or any combination thereof.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for predicting fertilizer performance. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for computerized fertilizer performance analysis based on a request for fertilizer performance analysis from a client computer. In particular, the request includes a plurality of parameter requirements entered on the client computer. Once these parameter requirements are entered, a routine for analyzing the parameter requirements is executed. The routines can be executed by, for example, a software program on the provider computer via the Internet, on a CD-ROM inserted in the client computer, or downloaded to the client computer. After completing the routine, the client computer receives the results of the fertilizer performance analysis. Background technique [0002] Many soil environments in the world are inherently insufficient in nutrients and cannot provide the most suitable growth conditions, especially for perennial pl...
