| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the relationship between golf course fertilization and water-quality problems in North Carolina. Describes a study "to develop a nitrogen budget that would account for uptake by bermudagrass, retention and downward movement of nitrogen in the soil profile and any loss of nitrogen (N) into adjacent streams." Explains that "our initial expectation was that we would find high nitrate levels in soil solution and subsurface water beneath the turfgrass system." Describes how it was realized that "more nitrogen was being incorporated into clippings during the growing season than was being supplied in fertilizer." Results include that "the field studies are consistent among all locations, always indicating a low potential for nitrate contamination of ground and surface waters." Concludes that "the evidence that we have assembled thus far suggests that managed turfgrasses may serve a similar function as the riparian buffers being constructed to protect streams and lakes from nitrate contamination" and "it is conceivable that turfgrass systems may occupy an important role in strategies to protect water supplies in the future." |
