| Abstract/Contents: | "Researchers at Oklahoma State University conducted a five-year study to measure the loss of N and Pcaused by natural rainfall from a common bermudagrass fairway man aged with typical fertilization and irrigation practices. The study found: Natural rainfall tends to occur in a some what consistent pattern and that pattern is not consistent with simulated rainfall. There was a nearly perfect relationship between the amount of natural rainfall runoff that occurred and the amount of nutrient lost. The effect of variation in nutrient concentrations was negligible. We estimated that under slightly dry but relatively normal conditions, a bermudagrass golf course fairway on a 5% slope in Stillwater, OK was likely to lose around 0.5% of the N applied and 2.0% of the P applied as fertilizer. In a worst case scenario, during a season of near record rainfall, this same fairway would lose around 1.3% of the N and 7.7% of the P applied as fertilizer." |
