| Abstract/Contents: | "There is a slight possibility that a small portion of the fertilizers applied to turfgrass sites could dissolve in surface water runoff and contaminate lakes, streams, and other water features. Natural rainfall runoff was collected for five years from bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon L.) turf managed as golf course fairway from 2003 through 2007 to assess the amount of nutrient runoff that is likely to occur under golf course conditions. Automatic samplers were used to collect runoff from two research plots, 12 m wide by 24 m long down a 5% slope. Runoff flow rates were measured in 1-min increments during runoff from 30 rainfall events and nutrient samples were collected every 5 min during 24 of those events. There was a nearly perfect relationship between the amount of natural rainfall runoff that occurred and the amount of nutrient lost. The effect of variation in nutrient concentrations was negligible. We estimated that under slightly dry but relatively normal conditions, a bermudagrass golf course fairway on a 5% slope in Stillwater, OK was likely to lose approximately 0.5% of the N applied and 1.7% of the P applied as fertilizer. In a worst case scenario, during a season of near record rainfall, this same fairway would lose approximately 1.2% of the N and 6.7% of the P applied as fertilizer. The mean P load following an average monthly application of 19 kg ha-1 P was 3.1 kg ha-1 min-1 P and the mean N load was 1.9 kg ha-1 min-1 following an average monthly application of 59 kg ha-1 N." |
