| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses a research project that "compared urea with nitrate [for use] as nitrogen sources for...fast-growing and slow-growing types of both Zoysia japonica and of Zoysia matrella." Reports that "root growth and shoot growth was as much as 30% [percent] greater in plants fertilized with urea as the nitrogen source compared to the zoysia plants fertilized with nitrate as the nitrogen source." Describes a similar study conducted at the Asian Turfgrass Center's research facility in Bangkok, Japan, in which researchers "used urea as the preponderant source of nitrogen over three years of research in both sand and soil rootzones." Suggests that "turfgrass managers should choose urea-based fertilizers for zoysiagrass whenever possible, particularly when the zoysia is grown in a sand rootzone." |
