Abstract/Contents: | "Six trials were conducted on commercial seed fields of creeping red fescue (Festuca rubra L. var. rubra) in the Peace region to evaluate the sensitivity of seed production to the method and time of application of N fertiliser. In each trial, 68 kg haā»Ā¹ was applied using three methods(surface-broadcast, granular, ammonium nitrate 34-0-0; foliar/soil spray of 28-0-0 solution N; soil -injected 28-0-0 solution N) at each of three times (fall, early spring, late spring). No statistically significant (Pā
0.05) interaction, or main effect, of method and time of N were revealed for seed yield, fertile tiller density or for several seed quality characteristics. Seed yield varied greatly among trials (142 to 1240 kg haā»Ā¹) and averaged 566 kg haā»Ā¹. The results indicate that there is considerable flexibility in the method and time of application N fertiliser for seed production of creeping red fescue in the Peace region, provided it is applied before the commencement of vigorous plant growth in the spring." |
