| Abstract/Contents: | "The objectives of research conducted at Auburn University were to examine the combined and separate effects of N rate and greensmix on nitrate and ammonium in leachate from bentgrass putting greens. The study's findings include: Nitrate leaching was greatest in the initial months of the study when N was applied at high rates. Nitrate leaching from USGA-type greens was greater during the first 4 months after construction than from the 100% sand greens. Differences in nitrate leaching lessened as the greens aged and as N fertilization was reduced to maintenance levels. There were few differences in color or quality of bentgrass putting greens due to maintenance N rates (1/5 or 1/10 lb N/1000 ft2/week). When applied at maintenance N rates, nitrate in leachate was reduced without any reduction in turf quality." |
