Abstract/Contents: | "Results are presented of pH, phosphate and potash levels of some 1800 individual golf greens and 225 individual bowling greens sited throughout the United Kingdom and Ireland and sampled between 1978 and 1981. The summary of results show 55% of golf greens and 25% of bowling greens have pH's less tha 5.5. the phosphate levels show that 58% and 90% of all golf greens and bowling greens respectively have a P2O5 content of greater than 150ppm. The potash levels show 28% and 20% of all golf greens and bowling green respectively have a K2O content greater than 150ppm. In general the results show excessive amounts of potash and phosphate, particularly the latter, present in the rootzone material of golf and bowling greens." |
