The power of nitrogen

The mineral element nitrogen plays a big part in the health of grass. It’s the primary fuel they need to stay green and healthy and without it, grass blades wilt, turn brown and eventually die. When nitrogen enters the body of a plant through its root system, internal plant processes rev up. New growth, in the form of shoots, occurs within hours of nitrogen application.

During this time of strong shoot growth, root growth slows. When fertilizer is added to your grass, growth shifts from roots to shoots, giving you a lush lawn. But it comes at the expense of strong root which may be more important during certain periods, like establishing a new lawn, preparing for periods of high stress such as the summer heat or preparing for the cold winter winds. Nitrogen also contributes to the color of grass by boosting chlorophyll production. After a fertilizer application, you’ll probably notice that the color of your grass turns a darker, more emerald green.
