Abstract/Contents:A study was initiated in 1985 to evaluate phosphorus response on a sodded Kentucky bluegrass lawn growing on a compacted clay loam subsoil. P2O5 as 0-46-0 was applied at the rates of 0,1,2,4, and 8 lbs/1000 sq ft once in 1985. Although not conclusive, visual observations reflected improved turf at each higher increment of applied P2O5 along with some improvement in turf density. Soil samples taken were separated into thatch and 0-2 inch depth soil samples. When the thatch was 1.5 inch or thicker, most of the phosphorus was bound in the thatch. Therefore, adequate phosphorus should be applied at the time of establishment. Tabulated data includes P applications, turf quality ratings, turf density ratings, and P analysis in the soil and thatch.
