JOHN MASCARO ’ S PHOTO QUIZ
ANSWER
From page 17
This photo is from a good friend who submitted the photo anonymously so no one would be embarrassed , although things like this happen to us all . Grass never shows problems , like green streaks , in a straight line . As you probably guessed , the problem is manmade . The issue here is known in the industry as the zebra stripe fertilization technique . A spray application of liquid fertilizer was applied to this bermudagrass baseball field , but the outside booms of the spray rig were not on . A couple of days after the entire field was fertilized , it looked like this . The color evened out quite nicely after another light application of fertilizer was applied . This is one of those things that happens from time to time , and no real harm was done . It is just a good learning experience .
