| Abstract/Contents: | Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are soil microorganisms able to establish beneficial interaction with most of land plants. Spores, present in the soil, germinate and grow toward the plant root system and the fungus establishes itself inside the cells. This symbiosis results in a broad array of benefits for the host, such as improved nutrients (P, N and K), biomass, and resistance to numerous abiotic and biotic stresses. This study was conducted as four experiments, each on a different type of established research green: (1) creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) USGA sand green, (2) fine fescue (Festuca spp.) mixture USGA sand green, (3) creeping bentgrass push-up green, and (4) fine fescue mixture push-up green. Our objective was to test if the use of a commercial AMF inoculum in association with two nitrogen (N) treatments would improve the turf quality of these different greens. On each green, our experimental design was a split-plot design with three replications. The main plot was nitrogen treatment (0.49 g N m-2 or 0.15 g N m-2 applied every 10 days) and the sub-plot was inoculum treatment (AMF- or water- sprayed once a month). Turf quality and NDVI measurements were taken 7 and 15 days after inoculum application during the summer 2020. Results indicate that for each green the 0.49 g N m-2 treated plots presented a higher turfgrass quality and NDVI than plots treated with 0.15 g N m-2 for some dates. The AMF-treated plots fertilized with 0.15 g N m--2 had the lowest turfgrass quality than the other treatments on the fine fescue mixture push-up green. These observations demonstrate the clear need for more research on the use of AMF inoculum for greens in norther climates. |
