| Abstract/Contents: | "A research project was undertaken at the Oklahoma State University Turfgrass Research Center to evaluate turf performance under monthly applications of elemental sulfur (S). Sulfur applications were made at 2.2, 5.6, and 25 kg ha-1 in granular form and 25 kg ha-1 in liquid (tap water) suspension in 1998 and 5.6, 25, 49, and 74 kg ha-1 granular rates in 1999. Applications were made monthly from April through November on an 'SR 1020' creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris Huds.) putting green and from April through October on a 'U3' bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon L.) sward in 1998 and 1999. Ratings were made monthly for visual quality, disease severity, and soil pH. Root mass was compared once each year. Leaf tissue nutrients were measured in creeping bentgrass three times in 1998 and twice in 1999 and were measured in bermudagrass three times each year. Monthly applications of S were effective for decreasing soil pH in stands of bermudagrass grown on silty clay loam and creeping bentgrass grown on sand. Soil pH decreased with increasing S rates but did not affect nutrient uptake or root mass in either species. Sulfur applications were effective for decreasing pH even under regular applications of alkaline irrigation water (pH=8.4). Turf quality was not affected by S applications. Sulfur applications decreased dollar spot disease (Sclerotinia homeocarpa F. T. Bennett) severity on creeping bentgrass during one month in the two-year study but did not affect brown patch (Rizoctonia solani Kuhn). Monthly applications of S at rates as high as 74 kg ha-1 did not cause turf damage on bermudagrass or creeping bentgrass even when temperatures were 38° C or higher during application." |
