Abstract/Contents:Examines movement of nitrogen fertilizer in a mature sward of Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L. 'Rugby') and perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L. 'Pennant'). The testing took place at the Turfgrass Research Project located at the Agricultural Experiment Station at the University of California. "Nitrogen sources selected for testing of nitrate leaching potential were granular urea (46-0-0), sulfur-coated urea (SCU, 37-0-0, 30% dissolution rate), and blood meal (13-0-0). These sources, classified as soluble, slow-release, and natural organic, respectively, were judged to represent the possible range of nitrate leaching potential. An untreated check treatments were also monitored. Suction lysimeters (Irrometer Co.) were used to collect leachate." The results suggested that: "...Even at very high nitrogen fertilization rates, there was little probability of significant nitrate leaching from any of the tested sources. Only urea fertilization gave levels of nitrate leachate that were above the tap water content, but still below federal guidelines. The slow-release sources, particularly the natural organic source (blood meal), presented the lowest potential for nitrate leaching." Also discusses similar experiments in other parts of the country.
