Abstract/Contents: | "The response of Lolium perenne L. to fertiliser nitrogen was studied on a sand carpet rootzone constructed to the Prunty-Mulqueen (PM) pitch specification. The experiment was sown in September 1983 and during 1984 and 1985 the following nitrogen treatments were applied: 0, 25, 100, 225, 400, 625 kg ha-1 N. Ground cover was measured before, during and after periods of artificial wear treatments to simulate the action of play during the 1984/1985 and 1985/1986 football seasons. The results showed that before wear ground cover increased rapidly with increasing nitrogen, with little evidence of an optimum rate. However, once wear treatments had started, turf receiving high levels of nitrogen deteriorated at a greater rate than turf receiving an intermediate level of nitrogen so that an optimum level became evident. These responses were fitted by an inverse polynomial function and the optimum nitrogen level was calculated at each date. During each football season the optimum nitrogen level decreased as wear treatments progressed, however, the average optimum annual input for maximum ground cover was 177 kg ha-1 N for two seasons combined." |
