| Abstract/Contents: | Two topdressing studies are reported upon. The long range topdressing study on the Penneagle creeping bentgrass green began in 1982 and concluded at the end of the 1989 growing season. Topdressing treatments ranged from no topdressing (check) to 12 cubic feet of a sandy soil based mix applied both spring and fall. Each topdressing treatment received either 3 lbs. N or 6 lbs. N per 1000 sq ft. annually. Plot size was 4 ft. x 12 ft. with 3 replications. The turfgrass quality rating data taken in 1989 were quite consistent with data from previous years. The plots receiving higher nitrogen rates (6 lbs. N/1000 sq.ft. annually) ranked higher than when treated with the lower rate (3 lbs. N annually), with little exception. Turf quality ranked consistently lower on the non-topdressed plots compared to topdressed plots. "The topdressing study on the Penncross creeping bentgrass green which began in 1986 was continued in 1989. Soil mixes applied were: sand alone; 80% sand, 20% peat; and 60% sand, 20% soil, 20% peat. Topdressing programs were either 3 cubic feet of soil material per 1000 sq. ft. applied every 3 weeks or 12 cubic feet applied spring and fall. Also included were an untreated check and a plot which received 12 cubic feet of sand spring and fall after cultivating with 1/2 inch hollow tines. Plots receiving the soil based mix outranked those receiving sand alone on several dates." Recommendations based on the results of the study are given. |
