Abstract/Contents: | Presents three studies "to determine how different turfgrasses respond to P [phosphorus] fertilization at different soil test levels." Study 1 objective: "to monitor establishment and growth of turfgrass species and cultivars." Results include that "by the second week after seeding, the height of all species and varieties were increased by P fertilization...In general, the cultivars of Kentucky bluegrass exhibited the greatest response to P fertilization, and the perennial rye cultivars had the least response." Study 2 objective: "to determine the critical level of P needed for three species of turfgrass." Results include that "the soils with the lowest soil test P levels were, as expected, most responsive to P fertilization." Study 3 objective: "to monitor response of turfgrass grown in the field under different soil test P levels" of 59 mg/kg and 259 mg/kg. Also states that "The establishment and early growth of all three species responded to P fertilization, except at very high soil test levels. Kentucky bluegrass (Midnight) exhibited the greatest response, followed by tall fescue (Coronado), then perennial rye (BFP). The soil test level of P played a role in response. Since different species of turfgrass require varying critical P levels for adequate establishment and coverage, consideration for soil test P level and the turfgrass species should be incorporated into the decision-making process regarding P fertilization." |
