Abstract/Contents:Presents a study conducted "to evaluate the above ground responses of the three primary cool-season lawn species to various annual nitrogen (N) programs, including Purdue's...N recommendations, which varied by N-application timing and rate." Explains that "lawns are the largest managed turf acreage in the United States. The public generally associates dark-green, dense lawns as those with exceptional turfgrass appearance and quality." Describes the experimental procedures, stating that "prior to planting, the entire study area was fumigated with methyl bromide to minimize existing weed competition." Reports that "turf damage assessed as stand blight was attributed to dollar spot...however, traces of red thread...and Rhizoctonia blight...were also apparent, but not independently rated because they were visually difficult to discern."
