| Abstract/Contents: | "Soil and tissue testing are used by many turfgrass managers to determine fertilization needs. The use of such tests is valid as long as reliable crop response data are available to support the recommendations. However, very little data exist that describe the relationships between soil and turfgrass tissue nutrient content and turfgrass response parameters. The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship between extractable soil and tissue P and K cultivars. Three field locations in New York were used that represented a range in soil textures and climatic conditions. There were 10 fertilizer treatments designed to provide a range of soil and tissue P and K values. The application of P and K at all sites did not affect turfgrass quality while the application of N improved turfgrass quality. Soil P levels (2.1 mg kg-1) were identified below which a tissue P content or quality response is likely. These levels were in line with current soil test recommendations. Similar levels for soil K were not identified indicating that soil K was adequate (although deemed low by current soil test interpretation). The application of N increased tissue K content, but application of K alone did not. Tissue levels of N, P, and K content were not well correlated with quality. The results of this study suggest current soil test K interpretations are too high and should be re-evaluated, and P and K recommendations may need to be based on N application amount." |
