Abstract/Contents: | "Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for plant growth. Research has shown that when establishing turfgrass from seed, P applications increase top and root growth and increase seedling density. There has been less research on the effect of P applications on turfgrass establishment from sod. The objective was to determine the effect of nitrogen (N) and P applications on Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) sod planted on a high clay, low P sub-soil representative of newly constructed landscapes. Treatments included 98, 156, and 208 kg N ha-1 yr-1 and 0, 24, and 48 kg P2O5 ha-1 yr-1. The 98 kg N ha-1 yr-1 treatment had the lowest clipping yields, color, and quality ratings throughout the research. For a Kentucky bluegrass lawn where dark green color is not critical and lower clipping yields are desirable, the 98 kg N ha-1 yr-1 rate is recommended. If a dark green color is important for the appearance of the lawn and higher clipping yields are not problematic, the 208 kg N ha-1 rate would be best. Soil P in the sod thatch layer was 58 mg kg-1 and likely resulted in the lack of turfgrass response to P applications. For sod grown on soil that is high in P our research concludes that after transplanting to a low P soil there may not be a response to P applications." |
