| Abstract/Contents: | "Microbial dynamics in USGA-type putting greens has become an area of intense interest in the past few years. Microbial inoculants or microbially-based growth promoters are often marketed to golf course superintendents, yet there is limited information about native bacterial populations in USGA-type putting greens. The objective of this research was to examine rhizosphere (around the roots) bacterial numbers in putting greens as affected by rootzone mix (100% sand or 80/20% sand/peat) and N rate (1/10 or 1/5 lb N 1,000 ft-2 week-1). Miniature putting greens were constructed, with the four treatments randomized among the 16 miniature greens. Greens were sampled every three months, and roots and surrounding soil extracted for bacterial counts via dilution plating. Despite regular influxes of fungicides, pesticides and fertilizers, seasonal flux of the bacterial populations evaluated in this study did not dramatically change over the three years of the study." |
