Abstract/Contents:"Phosphorus is one of the essential elements for normal growth and development of plants. In turfgrass, phosphorus is usually absorbed in the form phosphate however, phosphite is another form of phosphorus. There is limited evidence suggesting that plants can utilize phosphite. A two year greenhouse study was undertaken to determine the response of newly germinated bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera) to phosphate and phosphite applications during establishment. Silica sand was used as the growing medium in the experiments. Modified Hoagland's solutions were used as the nutrient sources during the experiments. Three treatments (control, phosphate and phosphite) were replicated five times in a randomized complete block design. Results found that phosphite treated plants had poor growth, color, density and phosphorous concentrations in comparison to phosphate treated plants, implying that phosphite does not substitiute for phosphate fertilizers in turfgrass nutrition."
