| Abstract/Contents: | "Nutrition is vital for any organism to grow and overcome stresses and infections. Unfortunately, correct nutrition principles are often misunderstood. The emphasis of this review is to survey the wide body of literature regarding turfgrass nutrition and compare/contrast this with field research plots where these various approaches have been compared. The use of soil and plant tissue testing will be discussed, as well as the rate, placement, and timing of various enhanced efficiency fertilizers. A meta-analysis of surveyed studied shows that turfgrass response to nitrogen fertilizers is common and dramatic-impacting verdure and growth significantly in greater than 92% of the studies. Prediction of response was correlated to soil test, but the approaches are not typically consistent. In contrast, potassium and sulfur responses were much less common at 24 and 21%, respectively. With potassium, response was reasonably predicted by soil test, with responses mostly with regard to growth (rate and architecture) and/or water relations when soil test values were low. Alternatively, sulfur response was typically related to verdure mostly, but was not predicted by the sulfur soil test, but was most likely when soil organic matter levels were low (<2%, such as is commonly observed in sands). Phosphorus response was even more rare, at only 9% of studies showing a response. Similar to potassium, response to phosphorus was related to soil test, but response cut-off was much lower than for most other plant specie-spresumably due to high concentrations of both roots and phosphorus in the top soil. Responses to other nutrients (calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, manganese, copper, boron, and chloride) were raretypically only occurring in very sandy, low organic matter soil." |
