Abstract/Contents:"The capacity of Merion Kentucky Bluegrass to persist as a fine quality turf when subjected to a range of fertility management programs is being investigated in this test. Since 1966 these plots have received various fertilizer ratios ranging from nitrogen alone to a complete fertilizer. Since 1970, three fertilizer rates have been included in this study. Variously fertilized grass is being examined for its ability to fix CO2 photosynthetically, transport, sugars from leaves to stems and roots, and accumulate reserves. These measurements are made throughout the growing season and during the non-growing period, at various times after mowing, and at intervals during a single day. These observations are related to the quality of the turf, its capacity to resist disease and invasion by weeds, and its persistence over several years. This study should provide a better understanding of the reasons why bluegrass, when subjected to poor fertility management, does not maintain a quality turf. A companion study investigates the effect of continued herbicide usage on the quality of bluegrass turf managed at a high and low fertility level. Herbicides commonly used by professional turf managers and home owners are included in this test. The results have been very interesting."
