| Abstract/Contents: | "This study is being conducted to yield information on bentgrass response to high and low levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilization. Poor quality putting green turf is common when fertilizer levels are low and some serious problems arise as a result of intensive fertilization practices. From this study it is intended that satisfactory level of N, P, and K can be derived for optimum fertility level maintenance. In this study applications of 6, 12, and 20 pounds of N, O and 1.76# P, and 0, 3.3.2 and 6.64# of K have been applied per 1000 square feet per season. Treatments are arranged in a factorial design with 4 replications. Visual ratings have been made for three years on the basis of color, density, texture, and the incidence of diseases. The highest levels of N, P, and K have produced excellent quality turf during cool portions of the year, but degenerate in quality during July, August. The lowest fertility levels appear best during the hotter months. Extremely wide ratios of N:P have resulted in inferior turf. The intermediate level of N, P, and K consistently produce superior quality turf with least amount of disease." |
