Abstract/Contents:"Surface applications of urea to turfgrasses can result in significant losses of nitrogen (N) through ammonia volatilization. Two approaches to limiting such losses are the use of liquid N sources containing a portion of the N as reacted urea and the use of a urease inhibitor with urea. In this 2-yr field study on Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.), turfgrass response to both liquid and dry urea, alone and amended with the urease inhibitor N-(n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT), was assessed to determine if there is an advantage to using NBPT in the field. Nitrogen sources containing reacted urea, CORON and N-SURE, were also included. Nitrogen was applied at an annual rate of 196 kg ha-1 in two and four applications per season. Yield, color, N uptake, and phytotoxicity were used to assess turf response. Greater yields, darker color, slightly improved N uptake, and lower phytotoxicity were associated with dry applications. On some dates, NBPT additions increased turf yield color, and N uptake, however, greater phytotoxicity was also associated with NBPT treatments. Results were not supportive of routine use of NBPT with urea applications. CORON, N-SURE, and liquid urea gave similar yield, color and N uptake results. Less phytotoxicity occurred with CORON and N-SURE than with liquid urea, but not with dry urea."
