Abstract/Contents:"To determine the use of waste materials as root zone soil mixtures for turfgrass culture, the effects of paper mill sludge and briquet ash on physical and chemical properties of soil and growth of turfgrasses were examined. Three turfgrass species of zoysiagrass (Zoysia japonicaSteud.), Kentycky [Kentucky] bluegrass (Poa pratensis L. 'Ram I') and creeping bentgrass (Agrostis paulstris Huds 'Penncross') were cultured in 32cm diameter plastic pots containing various soil mixtures. The basic ingredients used for mixtures included sand (SD), field soil (SL), paper mill sludge (PS), sphagnum peat moss (PM) and briquet ash (BA). Seven combinations using these ingreients [ingredients] were mixed in different percentage by volume as follows: SD+SL+PM (80:10:10), SH+SL+PS (80:10:10), SD-PM (80:20), SD+PS (80:20), SD+BA (80:20) SD+BA+PM (60:20:20) and SD+BA+PS (60:20:20). 1. Paper mill sludge showed pH of 6.6, more than 30% of organic matter content, and higher concentrations of total N, P, K, Ca, Mg and CEC. Bulk density, fild [field] moisture capacity and electrical conductivity of soil mixtures were increased by the comlimation [combination] of 10-20% PS by volume. 2. Briquet ash showed pH of 8.0, and higher levels of P, K, Ca and Mg than those of field soiks [soils]. Bulk density, field moisture capacity and hardness of soil mixtures were increased but vertical water flow rate and electrical conductivity were decreased by the combination of 20% BA by volume. 3. Phytotoxic effects of PS and BA on growth of turfgrasses were not found. Shoot growth of all three species was higher in soil combination of SD+BA+PS than that of SD+SL+PM added with fertilizer. However, root growth was better in soil mixtures combined with PM. Soil mixture composed of 60% SD, 20% BA and 20% PS by volume was most effective on growth of all three species. 4. Paper mill sludge resulted in higher N level in the leaf tissue. The contents of heavy metals such as Cd and Pb did not vary significantly among soil mixtures and species. However, the Mn level was 2-3 times higher in plants growth in mixtures containing PM compared with others, and especially it was higher in creeping bentgrass than other species."
