Abstract/Contents:Profiles research conducted to "determine if humic subtances increase water retention in sand putting greens" and "evaluate the ability of humic substances to improve phosphorus uptake in creeping bentgrass grown on calcareous sand." Reports that "humic substances did not increase water-holding capacity in sand putting greens. Humic substances displayed hydrophobic properties, resulting in more frequent irrigation than pure water. Phosphorus uptake by creeping bentgrass was not increased by humic substances. Humic acid increased root depth of creeping bentgrass. No visual differences of turf appearance or color were observed with the use of humic substances."
