| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted to "reevaluate Purdue's...nitrogen (N) fertilizer recommendations and investigate alternative N rates and application timings for three cool-season turfgrass species primarily used in home-lawns" and "to determine environmentally responsible N fertility programs that maximize turfgrass quality and health with minimal fertilizer N inputs." Details methods and materials used in the study, stating that "this field experiment was conducted from September 2003 through December 2005...Plots (1.5 x 1.5 m [meters] with 0.3 m borders) were seeded in May, 2003 with three cool-season turfgrass species: Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, and turf-type tall fescue." Reports that "turf-type tall fescue produced the greatest amount of dry matter yield followed by Kentucky bluegrass and then Perennial ryegrass...Perennial ryegrass, however, had greater dry matter yield during early spring than Kentucky bluegrass due to the slow green-up of this Kentucky bluegrass blend in the early spring months...Nitrate (NO3-) concentrations found in soil solution were the greatest during the late fall of 2003 and in the spring of 2004 for perennial ryegrass and especially Kentucky bluegrass. However these nitrate (NO3-) concentrations never exceeded the nitrate-N drinking water standard of 10 mg [miligrams] L- [per liter] set by the EPA [Environmental Protection Agency] for human safety." |
