| Abstract/Contents: | "In the greenhouse, common Kentucky bluegrass and red fescue were compared in a complete factorial with six levels of phosphorus (0-1745 pounds per acre), two pH levels (4.5 and 6.5), two levels of N, and soils (sandy loam and silt loam). Cultures were clipped weekly at a height of 2 inches and treatments evaluated in terms of dry weight of clippings, crowns, roots, and rhizomes. Yield of plant material was greater for silt loam, red fescue, pH 6.5, and 3 pounds of N per 1000 square feet. Red fescue outyielded bluegrass at all levels of P in total weight of plant material. The two grasses showed a large increase in the weight of clipping weight of clippings at both pH levels with the first increment (109 pounds) of P. For bluegrass, an increase in clipping weight was obtained for each increment of P through 1746 pounds, whereas, the yield of red fescue declined after the 873-pound level. Red fescue produced a larger quantity of roots than bluegrass at each level of P and at each pH level. The weight of bluegrass rhizomes increased with each increment of P to 873 pounds per acre, after which a sharp decline was noted at pH of 6.5 and to a lesser degree at pH of 4.5" |
