Abstract/Contents: | "Growth responses to sulfur (S) applications have been demonstrated for only a limited number of turfgrass species, primarily cool season grasses. Under conditions where sulfate is prone to leach such as sites with sandy soils, the addition of elemental sulfur may provide a slow release mechanism where S leaching is slowed thus affecting turf growth. This study determined the response of 'Tifway' bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon x C. transvaalensis) to varying N:S:K ratios on a sandy soil profile in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. 'Tifway' bermudagrass grown on sandy profile was evaluated for turf quality, growth response and nutrient uptake efficiency under varying nitrogen, sulfur and potassium treatment combinations. There appeared to be a trend in both turf quality and growth responses which indicated turf fertilized with higher N and S rates performed better. Tissue nutrient levels were clearly affected by total quantities of nutrients applied. No N:S:K ratio was seen to affect tissue nutrient levels. However, even at the lowest fertility regimes, no deficiencies in tissue nutrient content were found." |
