| Abstract/Contents: | "Turfgrass fertilization, particularly nitrogen fertilization, is critical to ensure adequate growth of turfgrasses. A study was conducted on six turfgrasses: Common Bermuda, Wild Bermuda, Seashore Paspalum, El 'Toro', Z-3, and Emerald Zoysia. Fertilizer regimes were 16N-4P-4K fertilizer at two rates of nitrogen: 7.3 and 14.6 g N/m2 per month. Turfgrasses were grown in a glasshouse in PVC pipe 30.5 cm high and 15.2 cm in diameter with four replications of each turfgrass. Potting media mixture was 4 silicon sand : 1 peat moss (by volume). Turfgrasses were watered twice a day with overhead irrigation. From April to September, turfgrasses were clipped twice a month, and dry weights were recorded. Wild Bermuda gave the greatest clipping dry weight, followed by Common Bermuda, Seashore Paspalum, El 'Toro', and Z-3, with Emerald Zoysia having the least dry weight. The high rate of fertilizer generally promoted faster growth compared to the low rate, but the different turfgrasses showed different growth responses. With the fast growing turfgrasses, Wild Bermuda, Common Bermuda, and Seashore Paspalum grew faster as the amount of fertilizer increased. However, for the slow growing turfgrasses, El 'Toro', Z-3, and Emerald Zoysia did not show an obvious response to the fertilizer rates. This study indicated that the different turfgrasses required different rates of fertilizer for adequate growth (clipping dry weight production)." |
