Abstract/Contents: | Ongoing studies on Penncross bentgrass putting greens have been continued in 1988. Phosphorus and potassium have been applied since 1982. "On the green established on a 80% sand, 20% peat mixture there is some residual potassium in the 0-2 inch depth from applications made during establishment. Some potash has accumulated in the 0-2 inch depth but only at the higher rates of application has much potassium moved into the 2-4 inch depth. Phosphorus applied to a Penncross creeping bentgrass growing on sand corrected a phosphorus deficiency with as little as 1 pound P applied annually. However, the P soil test of 11 pounds per acre is still considered deficient for good stress tolerance of the turf. It is clear that phosphorus does leach in the sand which has no organic matter added other than what the turf contributes. Regular, light application of phosphorus should probably be used on sand greens." |
