| Abstract/Contents: | States that "a two year (1990-1991) field study was conducted on established Kentucky bluegrass at the Cambridge Research Station. Composts prepared from leaves (LC), irradiated sewage sludge (ISSC) and animal manure (AMC) were applied at 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40 tonnes [tons] compost per hectare per year." Reports that "plant nitrate concentrations were highest in the ISSC treatments in 1990, but not in 1991, whereas plant phosphorus concentrations were consistently highest with AMC in 1990 and 1991." Concludes that "compost application can benefit established Kentucky bluegrass by enhancing visual quality and supplying a portion of N [nitrogen], P [phosphorus], and K [potassium]." |
