| Abstract/Contents: | "In a study involving the use of food-grade corn meal as a growth media for microorganisms, it was observed that stand establishment of creeping bentgrass seedlings was reduced by the incorporation of corn meal into the soil. Studies on the effect of adding corn starch, corn gluten meal, corn germ, corn seed fiber, or corn meal to the soil surface before seeding creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris Huds.) demonstrated that the greatest concentration of the inhibitory substance responsible for stand redcution was in the corn gluten meal. Further studies have shown that corn gluten meal contains a substance that inhibits root formation in several species, including crabgrass (Digitaria spp.). Gluten meal is the protein fraction of the corn extracted in the wet-milling process and is used as an animal feed. It contains approximately 10% nitrogen (N) by weight and makes a good natural fertilizer for turf. In field studies on the effect of corn gluten meal on crabgrass control, larger amounts were required when the material was applied 4 weeks before crabgrass germination than when it was applied 1 week before germination. Corn gluten meal applied at 99, 198, 297, 396, 495, and 594 g m-2 reduced crabgrass infestation by 50, 65, 80, 95, and 93%, respectively when applied 1 week before application." |
