| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses an experiment designed "to determine the influence [of silica] on overall turfgrass growth, quality of the turf, wear tolerance, and recovery period from wear on two cultivars of Seashore Paspalum cultivars." Results indicate that "wear tolerance of paspalum turfgrasses increased due to application of either potassium alone or silica and potassium; however, determining the tissue potassium and silica concentrations demonstrated that the reduction in wear injury came from higher tissue potassium and not from silica." |
