Abstract/Contents: | "Phosphorus (P) is an essential element for turfgrass growth and a potential environmental pollutant. Soil P levels in excess of sufficiency for plant growth are therefore undesirable. This study was conducted to establish correlations between soil P availability tests that are used for the testing of soils used for turfgrass culture. Testing was conducted on soils from an experimental pot trial, and soils collected from golf course greens and fairways. The tests included the Colwell, Bray 2, and Sports Turf Research Institute (UK) test. Correlations between test results from soils taken from the experimental pots were strong (r2 from 0.781 to 0.95). Correlations between test results from soils taken from golf course greens and tees were much weaker (r2 from 0.09 to 0.64). Fractionation revealed a wide variation in forms of P in the soils from field sites. Alkali-soluble P was dominant in many putting green soils, attributed to high usage of soluble iron for cosmetic purposes. Acid-soluble P forms were dominant in many fairway soils, attributed to historic use of superphosphate. The results indicate that soil P test results from field sites could prove unreliable unless considered in the context of the management history of the site and the forms of soil P present." |
