Abstract/Contents: | Describes low, moderate, and high nitrogen fertilization effects to the turfgrass plant. Root growth, top growth and disease resistance are directly affected but not proportionally to one another. The response of going from increased growth to decreased growth with increasing amounts of fertilizer (subsidy-stress gradient) is studied. Root growth optimizes at low nitrogen fertilization levels and decreases after moderate levels are reached. Optimum disease tolerance occurs at low to moderate levels although other factors influence disease resistance more readily. High top growth rates for quality closely mowed turfgrass requires high nitrogen fertility with increased management practices to control diseases and stress. Nitrogen fertility programs should be carefully selected to accommodate the desired purpose of the turfgrass culture. |
