Dense stands of turfgrass have been identified as filtering and reducing nutrients and pesticides in runoff water. However, dense turfgrass stands may not be able to handle runoff from major storm events. High amounts of runoff become an issue after recent applications of nutrients or pesticides.

Technical report from STMA: nutrient and pesticide losses caused by simulated rainfall and sprinkler irrigation

Dense stands of turfgrass have been identified as filtering and reducing nutrients and pesticides in runoff water. However, dense turfgrass stands may not be able to handle runoff from major storm events. High amounts of runoff become an issue after recent applications of nutrients or pesticides. Click here to read how researchers at Oklahoma State University measured nutrient and pesticide runoff from bermudagrass turf plots receiving sprinkler irrigation and simulated rainfall.
