Abstract/Contents: | Two fertilizer formulations (16-20-0 and 27-14-0) were tested on Common Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis) using 5 application rates (0.488, 0.976, 1.456, 1.953 or 2.441 kg/100 m2) and 3 frequencies at 6-week intervals (1 to 3 applications starting in late May). Color ratings made in the spring of each of 3 years, prior to fertilizer application, showed a general trend towards an earlier green color return with increased N in the previous year. Correlation tests showed high significance between the amount of N applied and the return of green color on plots receiving 3 applications; however, with the single May application the effects of the limited N were dissipated during the summer. P did not benefit early green color return, neither did the S contained in the 16-20-0 formulation. |
