Is the application of fertilizer and pesticides to bare soil the same as to turf?
No. Fertilizer and pesticide applications made to established turf are held very tightly in the thatch and root zone. Here they are utilized by the grass plants and broken down by the microorganisms in the thatch and soil. Turf is a very effective filter for cleansing the environment of airborne and water borne pollutants.
