Abstract/Contents: | "UN-L Contributions During the 1985 project period, the University of Nebraska made the following contributions to the joint research project by developing the following facilities: 1] An additional 18,000 sq ft. of golf green research area, bringing the total research green area to approximately 46,000 sq. ft. 2] Completion of the Turfgrass Rhizotron research facility with 40 root cells for rooting observations. 3] Irrigation scheduling research site with 20,000 sq. ft. of area divided into 24 individually controlled irrigation plots with tensiometers. 4] Addition of 3,500 sq. ft. to the Turfgrass Research Field Lab and Maintenance Facility. USGA Research Acccomplishments The following are accomplishes relating to the United States Golf Association support of this joint research project: 1] Developed a technique using neutron scattering to assess turfgrass depth and distribution of rooting, and to determine rootzone soil moisture extraction. 2] Developed a hydroponic method to screen differences in turfgrass rooting based on species, cultivar, and cultural practices. Verified responses of hydroponic system to those observed under field conditions. 3] Evaluated a nondestructive method for determining leaf area index (LAI) in turfs. Confirmed this technique on seven cool season turfgrass species. 4] Evaluated nitrogen and potassium effects on creeping bentgrass and Kentucky bluegrass turfs. The golf green evaluation with creeping bentgrass was further interacted with irrigation frequency. Potassium enhanced turfgrass rooting and drought avoidance in both species. Turfgrass wear tolerance was enhanced by potassium treatments and recuperative rate was enhanced by nitrogen in the creeping bentgrass evaluation which was conducted on a high sand content growing media." |
