De-icing hard on home landscape
MEDIA - Safety is important, however the de-icing salt
which is used to melt snow and ice has a harmful effect on
plants. Damage to plants takes several forms say experts.
These indude burning and browning of salt spray
splashed evergreen foliage (usually along high-speed
highways); “scorching” of deciduous plants (whose roots
are damaged when excess salt in the soil causes moisture
stress); and stunting or poor growth.
When diagnosing salt damage, it is important to
eliminate other causes such as drought, fill over the root
zone, wilt diseases, compacted soil or improper tran
splanting. All these conditions can cause the same or
similar symptoms to salt damage.
The use of a minimum amount of salt, mixed with sand,
will reduce the chance of damage to your plants. One
shouldn’t try to melt six inches of snow with salt, but
shovel first, leaving the salt on the pavement after snow
and ice are melted where it will be ready for the next
snowfall.
If one does have to shpvel the salt, he shouldn’t pile it on
landscaped areas. Where large amounts of salt are
needed, a person can try to devise some kind of gutter
along walkways and driveways to carry it off as it
dissolves with water. This will keep it away from sensitive
plants.
It helps to keep soil levels about two to three inches
above pavement level next to walks that are salted during
the Winter. This should prevent runoff into planting areas.
Salt-tolerant plant species can be used in the home
landscape. These are often seashore natives which can
Stand heavy salt concentrations in the soil. But this is at
best a poor solution to the problem, since salt-tolerant
plants are often not suitable for new home landscapes and
are seldom practical in established ones. -
Ordinary garden fertilizer is a very effective alter
native to salt for snow and ice control. A light sprinkling of
granular urea on walkways will be as effective as salt.

Magnesium supplied
through foliar spray
HOUSTON, Tex. -
Research by Dr. James
Boling at the University of
Kentucky has shown a foliar
spray to be effective in
supplying magnesium to
forage grasses and animals
grazing treated pasture.
Boling believes the spray
could be of help to beef and
dairy operations troubled by
grass tetany.
Grass tetany is associated
with lowered magnesium
levels in the blood of cows
and sheep. The condition is
most common in the Spring,
when animals graze on
grasses that are growing too
fast to accumulate normal
amounts of magnesium in
the leaf tissue. Cows nursing
calves or producing large
quantities of milk are the
most susceptible.
In the experiment, con
ducted last spring,' 9.5
gallons of NMG nitrogen
magnesium foliar spray
were applied per acre of tall
fescue. This rate supplied
four lbs. actual magnesium
per acre. Samples taken
eight days later showed
cattle grazing the treated
pasture had 22.3 percent
higher blood levels of
magnesium than a control
group.
“I would say NMG has
definite potential for helping
prevent grass tetany,”
comments Boling, a beef
nutrition specialist. “This

22.3 per cent increase in
blood magnesium should
reduce the incidence of grass
tetany when pasture con
ditions would normally
cause blood levels of
magnesium to become
marginal.”
However, Boling cautions
that the study didn’t show
how long the benefit of the
application would last. More
extensive research is
planned for the future, to
determine what effect NMG
treatment of grass has on
blood levels of magnesium at
various times after the
application.
