| Abstract/Contents: | "A trial on close mown Festuca rubra L./Agrostis tenuis Sibth. turf was carried out over a four-year period in order to measure the effect on turf quality from the application of ammonium sulphate or ammonium nitrate. These were applied with or without lime and with or without phosphate. Measurements of botanical composition showed ammonium sulphate application to cause an increase in Agrostis content of the turf and a decrease in Festuca content, these effects being enhanced by the application of lime (calcium carbonate). Ammonium nitrate application caused a large increase in the Poa annua L. content of the turf and this was exacerbated by the application of lime. Application of phosphate caused an increase in P. annua content of the turf after four years of treatment. Ammonium nitrate - N and lime application also caused an increase in moss and Sagina procumbens L. (pearlwort) content of the turf. Both nitrogen sources produced a turf colour depth more than adequate for fine turf, with ammonium nitrate-treated turf being slightly darker. The effect of nitrogen source on species composition may have affected rooting depth and the susceptibility of the turf to fungal disease infection. Ammonium sulphate-treated turf was relatively less infected with Microdochium nivale and produced a greater rooting depth than ammonium nitrate. The main effects of ammonium sulphate with lime were similiar to that of ammonium nitrate without lime. This indicated that differences in turf quality between the two nitrogen sources resulted mainly from the differential effects on soil pH." |
