| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study designed to "conduct a hydrologic analysis of runoff from core-cultivated turfgrasses; measure sediment loss, subsequent sediment bound-phosphorus loading, and phosphate-phosphorus concentrations and loading rates in runoff following core cultivation and fertilization; and compare sediment loss and phosphate-phosphorus concentrations and loading in runoff between creeping bentgrass and perennial ryegrass." Details the materials and methods used in the study, stating that "the site and its six runoff plots hae clay soil (23% sand, 36% silt, 41% clay) and variable slopes (9-11%). Three of the runoff plots (replicates) consisted of a nine-year-old perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) blend (Citation II, Commander, Omega II), and three (replicates) consisted of a nine-year-old Penneagle creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris Huds.)" Reports that "during this study, the highest concentration of phosphate-phosphorus found in runoff water was 6.1 milligrams/liter, which occured from one perennial ryegrass plot one day after treatment on [October] 12, 1999." Explains that "the most threatening levels of phosphate-phosphorus in runoff occured within 24 hours after fertilizer application, making the first irrigation or heavy rainfall after core cultivation and subsequent fertilization the most critical when assessing the potential for surface-water contamination." Concludes that "the small amounts of sediment lost in runoff and low sediment-bound-phosphorus values mean that the potential for contamination of surface waters was considered minimal. Careful monitoring of soil phosphorus levels can help to further minimize this threat." |
