Abstract/Contents: | "Potassium is an important soil nutrient that strongly influences the tolerance of turfgrasses to environmental stresses. Anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum cereale, is a destructive fungal disease of annual bluegrass (ABG; Poa annua) turf that is exacerbated by nutrient deficiencies such as N and K. A 3-yr field study was initiated in 2012 to evaluate the response of ABG turf to a range of soil test K (STK) levels and determine critical soil and tissue K for the suppression of anthracnose. Treatments were arranged as a 2 x 4 factorial with four replications. Potassium chloride and potassium sulfate were applied at rates of 0, 66, 131, and 262 kg K ha-1 yr-1. Potassium nitrate and potassium carbonate were also included at the 262 kg K ha-1 yr-1 rate. Anthracnose severity was positively correlated to both STK and tissue K content and provided clear critical values for disease suppression using the CateNelson model; 43, 49, and 45 mg kg-1 STK in 2012, 2013, and 2014, respectively, and 19.6 to 19.8 g kg-1 tissue K in 2012 and 2013, respectively. Nonlinear regression analysis of tissue K and STK values indicates that STK levels above 100 mg kg-1 did not increase tissue K content; therefore, there may be no benefit to increasing STK above this level. Few differences were seen between K sources in 2012 and 2013; however, in 2014 KCl (262 kg K ha-1 yr-1) produced the lowest suppression in disease severity of the four K sources." |
