Abstract/Contents:Presents a study with the following objectives: "1. Determine bacterial populations associated with putting green root-zone 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 population 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." For the Florida study, "it is still too early in the study to make any sweeping conclusions. However, it is safe to state that new USGA bermudagrass putting greens certainly are not sterile environments with few bacteria present." Results from the Alabama study "have revealed that, once grow-in and application of higher rates of N were completed, little NO3-N or NH4-N leaches through the rooting profile of the putting greens." The South Carolina study indicates that "the appearance of Bacillus as a major genera after 21 months suggest a shift in carbon sources available for growth of rhizobacteria from bentgrass roots." This five-year study began in 1996.
