| Abstract/Contents: | "Sustaining the growth of bermudagrass (Cynodon sp.) on golf course fairways or athletic fields during the summer growing season depends upon nitrogen (N) availability matching growth demands. With sandy soil conditions where nitrogen is subject to leaching loss after conversion into nitrate, the use of controlled release carriers offers an option for sustaining growth while minimizing the number of applications thus reducing labor costs. Objectives of this study were to determine turf performance and growth response of bermudagrass to slowly available and quickly available nitrogen carriers including a product containing urease and nitrification inhibitors under temperate climate growing conditions. The study was conducted at the North Carolina Department of Agriculture's Sandhills Research Station in Jackson Springs, NC where the soil type is a deep Candor sand. In the first year of the study, there was considerable statistical overlap among all products. In general, all of the slow release products had improved turf performance over an extended period compared to the quick release materials with the exception of Polyon. All of the slow release treatments produced acceptable turf quality even at 13 weeks following the last application. Only Nitroform, Milorganite and urea treated turf showed reduced growth compared to the other treatments although response from all treatments was greater compared to the untreated turf. In the second year, results were similar with carriers of differing N release mechanisms performing equally at 9 weeks after the second slow release material application. Polyon treated turf had quality equivalent to plots treated with ammonium sulfate, urea, sulfur coated urea (SCU), Poly Plus, Sustane and Mesa materials. Comparisons among the slow release materials found turf performance consistent with treatments from Poly Plus, Nature Safe and Expo materials. Of note, three very different N carriers (Poly Plus, an encapsulated soluble material; Nature Safe, a combination of natural organic materials; and Sustane a mixture of synthetic polymer methylene ureas) produced similar growth responses. This indicates that products and not carriers per se are more important in determining turf performance." |
