Abstract/Contents:Presents a study with several objectives: "1) Determine bacterial populations associated with putting green root-zone mix materials. 2) Determine bacterial populations of the root-zone mixes before and after fumigation. 3) Compare rhizosphere bacterial populations on two different turfgrasses, bentgrass and bermudagrass. 4) Compare rhizosphere bacterial populations of bentgrass in two different locations, Alabama and South Carolina. 5) Compare rhizosphere bacterial populations of bermudagrass in two differrent [different] locations, southern Florida and northern Florida. 6) Compare thatch development, rooting and bacterial populations of bentgrass in relation to rootzone mix and nitrogen fertilization. 7) Compare soil and rhizosphere bacterial populations of root-zone mixes containing various clay sources. 8) Document rhizosphere bacterial population dynamics on bentgrass and bermudagrass over a four year time period." Results indicate that "sand and sphagnum peat contained the lowest number of bacteria" and that "bacterial numbers for most of the bacterial groups enumerated are actually increased by fumigation with either methyl bromide or metam sodium." Notes that "overall, the study would thus far indicate that bacteria certainly are not absent form root-zone mixes, even after fumigation, and that planting of the bermudagrass will introduce even more bacteria into the putting greens." States that during the first year analysis of nitrate and ammonium leachate, "both N rate and mix type affected NO₃⁻N and NH₄⁻N concentration in leachate, and there was rarely a significant N rate by mix type interaction."
