| Abstract/Contents: | "A two year greenhouse study was conducted to evaluate effects of compost peanut shell bio-solid on three warm-season turfgrasses. Ground peanut shell bio-solid was compared with peat moss at 85:15 (v/v) medium sand to amendment as root zone mixes. 'Princess 77' bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon [L.] Pers. var. dactylon) and common centipedegrass (Eremorchloa ophiuroides [Munro] Hack.) were seeded and 'TifEagle' bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon [L.] Pers. x C. transvaalensis Burtt-Davey) was sodded in polyvinylchloride containers with a 400 mm depth and a 0.0324 m2 surface area. Each container was filled with 100 mm of gravel underneath the root zone mix. TifEagle bermudagrass was maintained to simulate golf green conditions with a mowing height of 3.8 mm with complete micronutrients applied every two weeks at a rate of 24.4 kg N ha-1. Princess 77 bermudagrass was mowed at 25 mm to simulate golf fairway conditions and centipedegrass was mowed at 25 mm to simulate residential lawn turf conditions. Grasses were grown under greenhouse conditions from April to September in 2002 and repeated in 2003. Peanut shell bio-solid was comparable with tranditional peat moss used for turf root organic materials. Peanut shell bio-solid provided similar turf quality, clipping yield, root mass, and nutrient uptake as peat moss for TifEagle bermudagrass golf course putting green turf. Clipping yield was increased up to 364% when combining peanut shell bio-solid with sand compared to sand only. Compared to sand only, peanut shell bio-solid improved turf qualities and nutrient recovery in clippings for both bermudagrass and centipedegrass under similar fertility and water input. Future field studies are needed to further evaluate peanut shell bio-mass as a suitable organic source for turf root amendment for golf courses and residential lawns." |
