| Abstract/Contents: | "Sand-based rootzones are prone to leaching. Washington State University researchers used the unique floating green at the Coeur d' Alene Resort Golf Course in Coeur d' Alene, Idaho, to measure the NO3-N and NH4 leachate losses following nitrogen fertilizer applications. Their study revealed: N fertilization of sand-based golf greens poses little potential for ground water contamination when healthy turfgrass is maintained. Bentgrass was very efficient at taking up N with 47% of applied N removed in the clippings. The greatest amount of N moved through the soil profile when the turf was dormant and/or in response to precipitation events. A increase in N concentration and amount leached occurred for 7 to 21 days following fertilizer application. Tissue N was a better indicator than clipping dry wt. of when fertilizer was applied. The large, sand-based floating green used in this study was a unique field laboratory that could be utilized in future research to develop environmentally sound turfgrass BMPs." |
