| Abstract/Contents: | "The performance and leaching behavior of six nitrogen fertilizers on bermuda grass were studied under humid tropical conditions. The grass was established in 20 X 36 cm pots filled with 8 cm pea gravel and 28 cm of silica sand. Ammonium nitrate (AN) was applied to the turf at monthly rates between 0.25 and 6 lb/1000 ftD2. Performance was gauged by clipping dry weights, image analysis for greens, and visual ratings. Leachates were checked for nitrate levels. A rate of 2 lbs/1000ftD2 produced quality turf while yielding a minimum of nitrate leaching. Rates of 6 and 4 lb./1000 ftD2/mo. resulted in the highest readings without an increase in quality. Rates less than 2 lb/1000 ft₂ had leachate nitrate less than 9 ppm but produced turf of unacceptable quality. Nutralene, Nitroform, sulfur coated urea, IBDU, and AN were applied at a rate of 2 lb./1000 ftD2/mo. The slow-release forms were applied as a 3 month dose. Performance was determined as above and nitrate leaching was monitored by weekly collections. Nutralene, SCU and Nitroform had peak nitrate levels 2 weeks after application, IBDU had peak nitrate levels after 4 weeks. Turf quality diminished at 6 weeks." |
