Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted by the United States Golf Association to "1. Assess urease activity in leaf tissue of two turfgrass species after foliar applications of urea N [nitrogen], 2. Determine the effect of supplemental Ni [nickel] applications on urease activity and amino acid content, 3. Determine if moderate salinity reduces urease activity and N metabolism in warm-season turfgrass leaf tissue and 4. Establish if Ni supplementation increases foliar urea N uptake and assimilation." Details the methods and materials used in the study, stating that " 'Tif-Eagle' ultradwarf bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L) Pers. XC. transvaalensis Burtt-Davy] and 'Diamond' zoysiagrass [Zoysia matrella (L.) Merr.] were established in solution culture consisting of two levels of salinity (0 and 5,000 ppm NaCl) and three levels of Ni as control, 200, and 400 μg Ni L-1." Reports that "supplemental Ni applications increased overall urease activity which resulted in elevated amino acid contents in leaf tissue." Concludes that "further field research is needed to further understand the influence of supplemental Ni applications on foliar urea N fertility, micronutrient interactions, and N metabolism." |
