| Abstract/Contents: | "The ability of demand-driven fertilization, based on the growth potential provided by solar radiation and temperature, to regulate golf turf characteristics such as growth rate, leaf nitrogen (N) concentration, carbohydrate storage and playing quality was investigated in a 2-year field experiment at Landvik, Norway. Three N regimes (100, 60 and 40% of the estimated N requirement for maximum growth) were applied on a sand-based green with a turf cover consisting of creeping bentgrass, colonial bentgrass, velvet bentgrass, slender creeping red fescue or chewings fescue. In the 100% treatment, this corresponded to 3 (creeping bentgrass), 2.1 (colonial and velvet bentgrass) and 1.5 (chewings and slender creeping red fescue) kg N 100 m-2 yr-1. The weekly liquid fertilizer dose basically followed the potential growth curve provided by solar radiation and temperature from early April to late October. The turf was exposed to artificial wear and daily maintenance followed conventional standards. Growth, leaf N concentration, carbohydrate storage in clippings, green appearance and playing quality were determined once per month. The results indicated that solar radiation and temperature can successfully be used as driving variables when quantifying turf fertilizer requirements from early spring to late autumn. The desired leaf N concentration, i.e. growth rate, and the resulting effects on fructan content and playing quality can be achieved by raising or lowering the seasonal fertilizer curve. A leaf N level of 3.1-3.5% was indicated as the lower limit for producing healthy-looking turf with high playing quality." |
