| Abstract/Contents: | "Given the current and anticipated growth of cold-brew coffee production, there is interest in evaluating the agronomic value of spent coffee grounds generated from the cold-brew process. Potential uses of the coffee grounds are as amendments to golf fairways or to sand based root zones of putting greens. In putting greens, this use is of special interest in light of the growing concerns of the non-sustainable use of sphagnum peat moss in rootzone mixtures. Laboratory testing, greenhouse studies, and field studies are currently being conducted at Texas A&M University to explore use of coffee grounds for these turfgrass applications. Initial objectives are to determine through physical testing the appropriate mixing ratios for amending sand meeting USGA recommendations for particle size distribution. To this end, capillary and air-filled porosities of coffee ground-amended sands are being compared to those of sand alone and sand amended with sphagnum peat moss. Ten-week greenhouse studies are being performed on Tifway bermudagrass grown in coffee ground- and peat moss-amended root zones to evaluate growth and nutrient uptake. Long-term field studies are being carried out on Celebration bermudagrass to evaluate the use of coffee grounds as a fertilizer, with comparisons to other organic fertilizers. Collectively, results to date may be used to assess use of spent coffee grounds in turfgrass management." |
