A logistic equation was used to relate forage yield to applied N for bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] and bahiagrass [Paspalum notatum Flugge]. It was shown that the equation could be factored into a triple product-one term each for water availability, harvest interval and applied N. The equation provides high correlation (R ≥ 0.98) between yield and applied N for all levels of water availability and harvest interval. Appropriate statistical procedures for nonlinear regression were utilized in the analysis. These results are useful for estimating effects of management factors on forage production

Problems areas include the following: (1) Toxic/hazardous wastes are being stored in excess of the 90 days allowable. (2) Wastewater discharges from the steam cleaning operation (Bldg. 601) and the wash rack (Bldg. 82) enter stormwater drainages and have not been permitted. (3) The disposal of wipe rags contaminated with toxic wastes along with nonhazardous solid waste is in violation. (4) The mixing of carbon tetrachloride with waste oil makes the resulting mixture a hazardous waste. (5) While the use of carbon tetrachloride as a degreasing agent by the Directorate of Industrial Operations motor pool is allowed by National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health/Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations, nonhazardous substitute solvents are available (NIOSH/OSHA, 1978).
