| Abstract/Contents: | "The objective of this research was to evalute [evaluate] the effects of composted garden waste (commercial product "Green Mix", GM) in the USGA-spec. rootzone and/or topdress during grow-in and maintenance of a young golf green aiming for a monoculture of red fescue. A field trial was carried out from Aug. 2011 to Nov. 2012 at NIBIO Landvik Turfgrass Research Centre, Norway. The GM rootzone were compared with a peat-amended (PEAT) rootzone, and GM topdress was compared with with straight sand (SS) topdress in a factorial design with four replications. Plots were seeded with 97 % red fescue and 3 % annual bluegrass (Poa annua) to study the competition between the two species. Because soil analyses showed a higher nutrient content, fertilizer inputs during grow-in from August to November 2011 were 50 % lower to the GM rootzone than to the PEAT rootzones, but this reduced the tiller density by 34 % suggesting that a lower reduction in fertilizer inputs had been more appropriate. In 2012, when all plots received the same amount of fertilizer, GM in the rootzone and/ or topdress gave significant improvements in turfgrass general appearance, tiller density, autumn color and resistance to red thread (Laetisaria fuciformis), but the competition from annual bluegrass was worse on the GM rootzone than on the PEAT rootzones until July 2012 when it disappeared from all treatments. The percentage of roots colonized by mycorrhiza was slightly but significantly higher for annual bluegrass than for red fescue in spring 2012 and became three times higher on the GM rootzone than on the PEAT rootzone during 2012. In conclusion, there are many benefits of using mature and homogeneous compost of garden waste in the rootzone and topdress on sand-based golf greens." |
