| Abstract/Contents: | "Different rates and frequencies of fertilization, varying between 212 and 6800 pounds each of N, P2O5, and K2O per acre per year, were applied to two Bermudagrass varieties. Chemical analyses of bimonthly soil samples indicated that higher levels of fertilization had drastic effects upon the reaction of the soil. The pH of the surface soil decreased from 6.3 to 5.3 within two months and to about 4.5 after 18 months. However, plots receiving the lower levels of fertilization declined gradually to pH 5.5 in the same period. Frequency of application did not significantly influence reaction. Since only minute quantities of Ca and Mg were rapplied during the experiment in the fertilizer, a decline in these elements was noted for all treatments. With heavy fertilization the exchangeable forms were at a critical level at the end of the test. Exchangeable K2O was increased from 50 pounds per acre to more than 1200 on heavily fertilized areas, but was maintained at approximately 200 pounds under moderate fertilization. The acid ammonium acetate extractable P2O5 increased from 52 to about 500 pounds per acre within six months. Probably leaching associated with low pH prevented larger accumulations on these heavily fertilized greens." |
