| Abstract/Contents: | As early was 19 days after sowing (DAS) establishment of creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris cv. 'Penncross') in containers filled with a USGA sand:peat greens mix and watered with deionised water was improved by 20% when inoculated with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), by 16% when fertilized with groWin (GW), a granular organic amendment containing seaweed extract biostimulants, and by 58 % when both AMF and GW were present in comparison to turf grown in accordance with USGA recommendations (no AMF, no GW). Increases in the cumulative clipping biomass (collected at 19 and 29 DAS) were 12% (AMF), 27% (GW), and 71% (AMF+GW). In addition, tolerance of the turf to salinity stress was significantly enhanced by all three treatments. When turf was irrigated in cycles with 0.10, 0.15, or 0.20 M NaCl and deionised water, the cumulative clipping biomass was 21-83% greater in the AMF-inoculated turves than the USGA treatment, 20-52% more with GW, and 52-118% greater when both AMF and GW were included in the growing mix (depending upon the salinity treatment). In the 0.10M NaCl treatment, turf with both AMF and GM grew 11% better than the USGA turf irrigated with water. Root biomass was significantly increased by addition of AMF or GW, but root length mostly was not affected by the treatments. Leaf-tissue P was 10-30% greater in turf in the presence of AMF, but was not significantly enhanced by GW alone. The results suggest the addition of AMF and GW at the time of new green's construction would result in more rapid establishment and the ability to tolerate periodic use of salinised irrigation water. |
