| Abstract/Contents: | "Humate, the salt of humic acid reactions, is one of several humic substances being marketed as soil conditioners for turfgrass. According to previous research, humic substances can provide an energy source for soil microbes, improve nutrient retention in the soil, and enhance water holding capacity of the soil. Humtes and a natural organic fertilizer were incorporated into a USGA soil mix, respectively, to a depth of 10 cm, before seeding with creeping bent (Agrostis stolonifera L.). Monthly treatments of liquid humate and quarterly treatments of granular humate were applied following germination. Effects on germination rate, percent coverage, and turf quality were measured. Additionally, semi-monthly analysis of harvested leaf tissue using NIRS technology was completed to study the effects of humates and natural fertilizer on nutrient availability. Germination rate and percent coverage increased significantly in plots receiving humate plus natural fertilizer. Micronutrient status of leaf tissue was increased by humate application. Humate and natural fertilizer treatments each improved root growth over the control." |
