| Abstract/Contents: | "Yolo loam was made alkali by treatment with Na2CO3 to produce six levels of ESP ranging up to about 30. For all ESP treatments, a krilium (VAMA) treated series was compared against soils not so treated. ESP levels were maintained by irrigation with solutions containing a total of 5 me. per liter of NaNO3 and Ca(NO3)2 adjusted to give SAR values up to about 22. Allowing for a projected 2 fold increase in the soil solution due to evapotranspiration, these solutions maintained the ESP's in approximately the desired range. All grasses proved to be tolerant to ESP levels up to about 15. Above this level increasing sensitivity to ESP was observed in the following order: Seaside Bentgrass > Kentucky blue grass > Alta fescue > Common bermuda > Puccinellia. Treatment of the soil with krilium improved growth by about 10 to 50% at nearly all ESP levels with bermuda, Kentucky blue grass, and Seaside bent, but had little effect on the growth of alta fescue or Puccinellia." |
