| Abstract/Contents: | "Potassium is an essential nutrient for growth and stress tolerance of plants. However, the effect of potassium on dollar spot (caused by Clarireedia jacksonii) of annual bluegrass (ABG) [Poa annua L. forma reptans (Hausskn.) T. Koyama] is not known. A field trail was initiated in 2019 to determine the effect of K fertilization on dollar spot of ABG turf mowed at 2.8-mm. A 4 Π2 factorial arranged as a randomized complete block design with four replications evaluated four levels of potassium (0, 3.4, 6.9, 13.8 kg K ha-1 applied every two weeks) and two levels of N (urea) applied at 4.9 kg ha-1 (every 7 days or 28 days) over 28 weeks. K fertilization increased dollar spot by more than 800% compared to 0 kg ha-1 of K, regardless of the N level, and increasing the K rate increased the severity of the disease. Decreasing the N application frequency (rate) to every 28 days increased dollar spot by 18% compared to N fertilization every 7 days. and chlorophyll index were improved by K fertilization leading up to the disease outbreak, regardless of the N fertilization rate, but the quadratic response indicated there was no benefit to increasing K fertilization beyond 3.6 kg ha-1. The first year results suggest that K fertilization up to 3.6 kg ha-1 can improve the quality of ABG turf growing on a root zone with very low K levels; however, increasing K fertilization to 6.9 kg ha-1 or more every 2 weeks may increase susceptibility to dollar spot." |
