Abstract/Contents: | "Aerification is a common turf management practice, but little is known about its influence on nutrient runoff. The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of hollow-tine aerification on nutrient runoff from a bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon L. (Pers.)] golf course fairway under natural rainfall conditions. Collection troughs and automated samplers were positioned at the bottom of six 12.3- × 24.4-m plots (5% slope) for surface runoff collection. Three plots received hollow-tine aerification and three plots served as control in a randomized complete block design. Aerification and fertilizer (N at 49 kg/ha/month and P2O5 at 24 kg/ha/month) were applied at the beginning of each month during the study. Runoff samples were collected and tested for NO3-N, NH4-N, and dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP) after seven natural rainfall events. Aerification delayed runoff by 4 min but did not significantly reduce runoff volume or nutrient losses when compared to control plots. For both treatments, the total amount of applied fertilizer lost to surface runoff was extremely low (<1%). Nutrient concentrations were not statistically different between treatments and had an average concentration of 0.54 mg/liter NO3-N, 0.44 mg/liter NH4-N, and 1.20 mg/liter DRP. The practice of hollow-tine aerification neither reduced nor contributed to a loss of nutrients to natural rainfall runoff." |
