| Abstract/Contents: | "The practice of broadcasting fertilizer on the surface of newly seeded turf sites is being questioned in locations where nutrient management guidelines are being developed, or further refined, for turf. The relatively low leaching potential of phosphorus together with its widespread use at the time of seeding highlight the need to document how P placement at seeding effects turfgrass establishment. This study investigated the establishment of tall fescue (Lolium arundinaceae Schreb) when 0, 22, 44 or 88 kg ha-1 P was placed on the surface 1 cm of soil, or was incorporated to depth of 8 to 10 cm on the date of seeding. Percent tall fescue cover was initially evaluated 29 to 46 days after seeding and at irregular intervals thereafter at sites having 16 to 18, 38 and 121 mg kg-1 Mehlich-1 soil test P. Sites were seeded in late August to early September, and in mid to late October. Enhancement of tall fescue cover with surface placement of P was limited to the October seeding dates and to the site having 16 to 18 mg kg-1 soil test P. Additionally, enhancement of tall fescue cover with surface placement of P was limited to P additions of 44 or 88 kg ha-1 P. In one year surface placement of 88 kg ha-1 P increased turf cover 46 days after seeding by 20% when compared to the same amount of P incorporated to depth of 8 to 10 cm (31% cover). The effect of surface placement on turf cover was brief and did not extend to the second evaluation date in either of two October seedings at the 36 to 42 mg kg-1 soil test P site. Response to added P at the site having 38 mg kg-1 soil test P was limited to the October seeding date and was not influence by P placement. No response to added P was observed at the site containing 121 mg kg-1 soil test P. The results of this study do not support making surface applications of P to hasten tall fescue establishment in Maryland soils having optimal or excessive soil test P." |
