| Abstract/Contents: | "Nitrate-N leached from new sand lysimeters that were constructed similar to USGA specifications were monitored from October, 1991 to the present. Although the level of nitrate-N that was leached from the profiles was rate related, the level of nitrate-N leached was strongly modified by the rooting medium and frequency of nitrogen (N) application. Nitrate-N leached from pure sand profiles was much greater than the nitrate-N leached from sand profiles modified with peat moss. Sand amended with sphagnum peat greatly reduced the quantity of total N leached and the percentage of applied N that was leached as compared to pure sand for a 99-day period from October 24, 1991 to February 1, 1992. The frequency of application of N significantly affected the level of nitrate-N leached. Although the impact of this factor was much lower than either N rate or rooting medium effects, it did consistently influence nitrate-N concentration in that leachate. The use of modified sand growing medium, moderate levels of N application and frequent, light application of N combined to reduce N leached to 3 to 4 kg ha-1 (2.67 to 3.56 lb A-1) and the percentage of applied N to as low as 3 to 5% of applied N. The data clearly show that an 'extra effort' approach as compared to an 'as usual' approach to sand green fertilization can significantly reduce the potential losses of nitrate-N from sand growing medium. This approach involved the best uses of four factors: 1) Moderate rather than excessive use of N; 2) application of N with higher frequency and with lower quantities per application; 3) use of modified sand rooting medium rather than pure sand and 4) selecting the appropriate combination of slow release N sources and soluble sources that provide functional putting green turf during the cool, wet season." |
