Abstract/Contents: | "Recent restrictions on phosphorus applications to turf have heightened interest in the practice of applying phosphorus to the seedbeds of soils having high soil test phosphorus. Greenhouse pot studies were conducted to determine the response of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb) seedling growth to phosphorus additionss made to soils containing 52, 55, 64, 66, 97, 163, 170, and 277 mg kg-1 Mehlich III soil test phosphorus. Seedling above ground biomass was evaluated 23 to 24 days after seeding in a warm temperature regime that favored seedling emergence, and 43 days after seeding in a cool temperature regime that visibly delayed seedling emergence. No increase in seedling biomass occurred with added phosphorus in soils having 97 mg kg-1 or more initial soil test phosphorus in conditions that favored seedling emergence. On average the addition of 24, 48, and 96 kg ha-1 phosphorus, increased seedling growth by 14, 25, and 34%, respectively in soils having 52 to 66 mg kg-1 soil test phosphorus in the warm temperature regime, compared to not adding phosphorus to these soils. Seedling biomass production was increased with added phosphorus in soil having 163 mg kg-1 soil test phosphorus in the cool temperature regime but not in the warm temperature regime. Growth responses to added phosphorus were associated with non-phosphorus fertilized seedlings having phosphorus tissue contents below 2.6 g kg-1. These results indicate phosphorus fertilization of newly seeded tall fescue needs to be linked to soil test results and to growing conditions." |
