Abstract/Contents:"Due to the frequency of petroleum spill damage to turfgrass areas, a field study was conducted on 'Tifgreen' bermudagrass (Cynodon L. spp.) to determine the injury symptoms and subsequent recovery rates from petroleum spill damage. Five petroleum products commonly used in turfgrass maintenance equipment were applied as spill treatments to the turf growing on Lufkin fine sandy loam (fine, montmorillonitic, thermic, Vertic Albaqualf). Injury symptoms of the turf were documented following the three replicate spray applications of gasoline, motor oil, hydraulic fluid, and brake fluid, and following direct spreading of grease over 1 m2 plots. Calcined clay fines, activated charcoal, and detergent were evaluated as potential corrective treatments. Each corrective treatment was applied within 20 minutes of each spill in three replications. The injury symptom varied among the petroleum spill treatments. Detergent proved effective in enhancing bermudagrass recovery (3 to 4 weeks) from motor oil, hydraulic fluid, and brake fluid damage. None of the corrective treatments were effective on either the gasoline or grease-damaged turf. The bermudagrass recovered rapidly (3 to 4 weeks) from gasoline spills without corrective procedures. More than 10 weeks were required for recovery from grease spills."
