| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study with the following objectives: "1. Quantify the amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus that leach from USGA greens under various management practices. 2. Determine the amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus that runoff a Southeastern piedmont soil under various management variables including buffer zone width and irrigation scheduling with respect to fertilizer application. 3. Determine the effects of forms of phosphorus, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), soil compaction and crusting, and climatic variables on phosphorus leaching and runoff. 4. Develop best management practices to limit leaching and runoff of nitrogen and phosphorus from golf course greens and fairways." Reports that "under saturated conditions, greatest runoff was at the first simulated rainfall event (4 hours after treatment) and was significantly less at three subsequent samplings." States that "runoff experimental results indicated that a potential problem exists when phosphorus fertilizer is placed on fairways prior to a significant rain event, but judicial management could easily prevent this from becoming a problem." This three-year study began in 1998. |

| USGA Summary Points: | Under saturated conditions, greatest runoff was at the first simulated rainfall event (4 hours after treatment) and was significantly less at three subsequent samplings. Step-wise increases in phosphorus runoff were found at four hours after application for both concentration and total mass for increasing application rates. Phosphorus leaching peaked 9 and 15 weeks after treatment from a fast-release carrier, although little leaching was found through golf course putting greens. Preliminary calculations show that 21 and 22% of total phosphorus applied was found in the leachate water for the 11 and 21 kg P/ha rates, respectively, for the superphosphate and 14 and 29%, respectively, for the 16-25-12. Runoff experiment results indicated that a potential problem exists when phosphorus fertilizer is placed on fairways prior to a significant rain event, but judicial management could easily prevent this from becoming a problem. |
