| Abstract/Contents: | "The use compost is a growing trend in turfgrass lawn maintenance practices, however, there are insufficient data to determine risks to water quality from compost amendments to lawns. The objectives of the study were to: 1) determine the N and P concentrations in percolate collected from lawn plots fertilized yearly with varying rates of compost, and 2) determine if a relationship exists between percolate N and P concentrations and soil test labile N and extractable P concentrations. The experiment was set out as a completely random design with 7 compost rates (0, 61, 124, 185, 246, 309, and 370 m3 ha-1) with 2 replicates on a Kentucky bluegrass lawn. Each plot contained a zero-tension soil monolith lysimeter that drained into a collection well. In 2020, wells were measured for percolate volume and samples were extracted every week or less depending on rain. Samples were analyzed for concentrations of (NO2+NO3)-N, Orthophosphate (PO4-P) and total Kjeldahl phosphorus (TP). Concentrations of (NO2+NO3)-N were < 1 mg L-1, whereas concentrations of PO4-P were between 0.1 and 0.5 mg L-1 and TP concentrations occasionally exceeded 2.0 mg L-1. Soil test data showed moderate (for labile N) to strong (for extractable P) correlations with the flow-weighed concentrations of percolate N and P. Percolate concentrations of (NO2+NO3)-N did not exceed 1 mg L-1 when soil labile N concentrations were ≤ 170 mg/kg. Whereas percolate concentrations of PO4-P and TP did not exceed 0.05 and 1 mg L-1, respectively, when modified-Morgan extractable P concentrations were ≤ 135 kg ha-1. The results of the study suggest that low rates of compost frequently applied to turfgrass lawns have a low risk of contributing to water quality impairment. Whereas commonly recommended higher rates of compost to lawns may contribute to water quality impairment from leaching losses of P from long-term applications." |
