Abstract/Contents:"Sand based root zones are typically used in golf green and tee construction and are becoming more common on athletic fields. Sand typically has poor nutrient and water retention; thus, it is often amended with organic and inorganic amendments. The amount of amendment used is often related to maintaining a large water infiltration rate not to maintining nutrient holding value (cation exchange capacity, CEC). The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of sand root zone CEC on growth, nutrient recovery and nutrient leaching of golf turf. Creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris Huds.) was grown in a growth chamber in sand root zones amended with different levels of reed sedge peat and two natural zeiolites to maintain CEC values of 0.3 to 10 cmol kg-1. Irritgation was provided to provide both leaching and non-leaching conditions. Increasing the CEC of the sand root zone increased shoot growth by 17%, improved nutrient recovery in the clippings (N, K, P, and Mg), and reduced K leaching. Reed sedge peat was more effctive at improving N and K recovery in the plant compared to either zeolite. A CEC of at least 6 cmol kg-1 was found to reduce K leaching and may serve as a value for sand root zones."
