Past research with biostimulants has not included differing levels of nitrogen fertility or shade as variables. The research presented was designed to explore some interactions between biostimulants and nitrogen fertility on turfgrass grown under several light conditions.In CopyrightKentucky bluegrassturfgrassbiostimulantsInfluence of nitrogen, reduced irradience and biostimulants on turfgrass growth, superoxide dismutase content and chlorphyll fluorescenceThesishttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/available/etd-05182007-141203/
