Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted to "determine the seasonal dynamics of the turfgrass cuticle in a cool-season and warm-season turfgrass species managed under putting green conditions." Describes the materials and methods used in the experiment. Reports that "results from our two-year field trial indicate that both species are receptive to foliar uptake of urea-N and ammonia volatilization losses were minimal." |

USGA Summary Points: | Both creeping bentgrass and ultradwarf bermudagrass greens are receptive to foliar uptake of urea nitrogen. Most of the nitrogen applied to putting green turfgrass foliage is absorbed in the first 4 hours after application. Foliar uptake in creeping bentgrass was reduced during warmer months, suggesting a change in the composition of the leaf cuticle. Loss of foliar-applied nitrogen to ammonia volatilization appears to be minimal. |
