Abstract/Contents:Presents a study with the following objectives: "1. Quantify water flow and movement of nitrate and ammomium [ammonium] through a large-scale sand-based putting green under actual golf course conditions. 2. Demonstrate the effects of nitrogen fertilization and application methods on sand-based putting greens to promote environmental safety and support the highest level of turfgrass quality. 3. Monitor movement of nutrients (other than nitrogen) and pesticides. 4. Develop water movement models and calibration in sand-based greens." States that "research is being conducted on the floating green at the Coeur d'Alene (Idaho) Resort Golf Course." Reports that researchers "recovered 13% of applied nitrogen in leachate and 54% in clippings." States that "low NO3-N and NH4-N leachate concentrations combined with high leaf tissue N suggests efficient N uptake by the plant and a low potential for negative environmental impact." This three-year study began in 1998.

USGA Summary Points:Recovered 13% of applied nitrogen in leachate and 54% in clippings. Non-recovered N could be present in unavailable forms in both the soil and thatch with some potential volatilization loss, but it is not believed to be an environmental concern. Low NO3-N and NH4-N leachate concentrations combined with high leaf tissue N suggests efficient N uptake by the plant and a low potential for negative environmental impact.
