| Abstract/Contents: | "Nitrogen and potassium are essential nutrients for turf plant survival. Some of the major turfgrass effects attributed to nitrogen include: shoot growth, shoot density, color, disease proneness, heat and cold tolerance, and drought hardiness, wear tolerance and disease proneness (Beard, 1988). Potassium, regulates turf plant water relations, heat/cold/frost resistance, wear tolerance and rooting. It is important to understand the intricate balance and interrelation of the entire plant growth process (Freeborg & Daniel 1985). Many newly constructed athletic fields are making use of sand based rootzones. Sand based fields allow for adequate drainage and maximize rooting. Stability may also be imporved depending on the sand size and shape. Due to their low cation exchange capacity, sands do not hold nutrients readily, particularly nitrogen and potassium. A study was begun 1993 at the Hancock Turfgrass Research Center (HTRC) on the campus of Michigan State University in which nitrogen and potassium fertilizers were applied to a turf stand existing on a sand based athletic field. The object of the study was to determine the effects of nitrogen and potassium rates and ratios on color, quality, and overall stability (measured via shear vane) of a sand based athletic field." |
