| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted by the United States Golf Association "1. To test steel slag material for its dissolved P-reduction potential in both active and passive filtering systems. 2. To determine approximately how much runoff P [phosphorus] from a mature bermudagrass site is due to natural causes (rainfall, soil, plant material) and how much can be attributed to synthetic fertilizer. 3. To identify standard expectations for use in evaluating phosphorus sorbing material (PSMs)." Details the methods and materials used in the study, stating that "the site consists of 24 identical 20 x 35 ft. bermudagrass plots on a 5% slope. Half of the plots drain down the 35 ft. slope into filter trenches and half drain into runoff collection troughs. The runoff collection plots are used to estimate how much runoff occurred from the filter plot above it during a natural rainfall or irrigation event." Reports that "the steel slag removed significantly more P than the gravel control (P<0.05) and proved to be an efficient filter of P runoff." |
