Abstract/Contents: | "Little information exists that describes how soil P levels and vertical distribution throughout the soil profile are influenced by fertilization practices and the addition of composted manures. Two field studies were designed to provide more information on how adding P fertilizer or compost influences the concentration and distribution of P in turfgrass soils. Application of P fertilizer at rates of 19, 38, or 72 kg P2O5 per ha/year over a period of 4 or 5 years increased soil P in the upper 0 to 5 cm of soil by a factor of 2.7 to 3.3. Applying P at a rate of 10 kg P2O5 per ha did not increase soil P in the upper 0 to 5 cm of soil. With one exception, soil P levels at depths of 5 to 10 or 10 to 15 cm were not increased by fertilizer applications over a period of 4 or 5 years. In contrast, adding composted poultry or dairy manures to plots at rates of 12 to 24 mm/year resulted in 8 to 333-fold increases in soil P in the upper 5 cm of soil. Soil P levels also increased substantially in deeper layers as a result of poultry compost application, but not for dairy. These findings indicate that common fertilization practices have a much smaller influence on soil P levels compared to composted manures. The benefits of using composted manures must be weighed against the potentially negative environmental impacts that could result from a large increase in soil P layer where runoff occurs." |
