| Abstract/Contents: | "Earthworms have become a major problem in sports turf, since the approval for chlordane use was revoked in 1992. One method by which they may be controlled is addition of sulphur, to lower pH of soils. However, sulphur is a potent fungicide and application of it to turf may kill beneficial arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. Enhancement of these fungi is required in turf, because they may have the ability to reduce the abundance of P. annua. Here, we report a series of experiments involving the use of seaweed (as a potential enhancer of AM fungi) and sulphur. It was found that seaweed alone can increase AM levels by 33%. Addition of 11 or 32 g m-2 sulphur to the seaweed mixture still produced an acceptable fungal increase of about 20%. However, any application of sulphur above 32 g m-2 was highly detrimental to the fungi. Although this level of application (or lower) has reduced earthworm casting in the past, it did not do so in this study. We recommend that sulphur for worm control should not be applied at concentrations above 32 g m-2, in order to conserve AM fungi, and that a biostimulant such as seaweed, be applied at the same time." |
