| Abstract/Contents: | "The effects of 9 potassium (KCl) treatments were compared in 1974, 1975, 1977 on a United States Golf Association (USGA) golf green planted with 'Tifgreen' Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. X C. transvaalensis). The rate of K applied or number of applications had no significant influence on turfgrass quality, yield, or foliar N or P concentration. Plots receiving a single application of 0.5 kg of available K2O/100 m2 exhibited lowest quality while those on which a total of 9.0 kg K2O was applied in 3 applications had maximum evaluation scores. Foliar K levels were also lowest and highest in these treatments, as were the amounts of extractable K in the medium. Yearly variations in rainfall influenced turfgrass quality, yield, foliar N and K concentrations, and level of extractable K. Turf quality and foliar N levels were positively associated." |
