| Abstract/Contents: | "Nitrate-N leached from putting turf during the first three months after seeding from pure sand profiles was as much as six times greater than the nitrate-N leached from sand profiles modified with peat moss. The quantity of nitrate-N leached was reduced by applying fertilizer more frequently and by reducing the quantity applied. The use of modified sand growing medium, moderate levels of N application and frequent, light application of N combined to reduce the N leached from 12% to 3% of applied N. The early data clearly show that an 'extra effort' approach as compared to an 'as usual' approach to sand green fertilization can reduce the potential losses of nitrate-N from sand growing medium to very low levels. This approach involved the best use of four factors: 1) Moderate rather than excessive use of N; 2) application of N with higher frequency and with lower quantities per application; 3) use of modified sand rooting medium rather than pure sand and 4) selecting the appropriate combination of slow release N sources and soluble sources that provide functional putting green turf during the cool, wet season." |
