| Abstract/Contents: | "St. Augustinegrass [(Stenotaphrum secundatum (Walt.) Kuntz.] is the predominate grass for lawns in Florida with an estimated 0.7 million ha. However, limited information is available on St. Augustinegrass response to irrigation regimes and nitrogen (N) levels in subtropical south Florida. A study was implemented to monitor St. Augustinegrass quality, color and cumulative turfgrass clippings in response to irrigation regimes and N inputs over six bi-monthly application cycles encompassing wet and dry seasons. Treatments were arranged in a randomized complete block, split-plot design with four replications, and consisted of two irrigation regimes: 2.5 mm daily ("low") except when daily precipitation > 6.4 mm (irrigation turned off) and 13.0 mm three times weekly ("high") with no voiding of irrigation after rain events. Subplots consisted of four N rates (98, 196, 294, and 588 N kg ha-1 yr-1). Irrigation regime had no effect on turfgrass color, quality or clippings throughout the duration of the experiment. However, N rate significantly affected turfgrass color, quality and cumulative turfgrass clippings. Highest visual ratings for turfgrass quality and color as well as total aboveground biomass were obtained at the 588 kg N rate. Furthermore, the lowest visual ratings for turfgrass quality and color were observed at the 98 kg N rate. All N rates provided minimum acceptable turfgrass quality of 6.0 throughout the duration of the experiment." |
