Effects of Phosphorus Fertilization and Turfgrass Clipping Management on Phosphorus Runoff

Effects of Phosphorus Fertilization and Turfgrass Clipping Management on Phosphorus Runoff

2010

Phosphorus (P) enrichment of surface water and the role of home lawns as a source of P is a concern in many urban watersheds. A study was conducted on a silt loam soil with a 5% slope and high soil test P (27 mg kg-1 Bray P-1) to evaluate P fertilization and clipping management effects on P runoff from turfgrass (Poa pratensis L.). Phosphorus runoff was evaluated separately under frozen and non-frozen soil conditions. The study was conducted for five years following initiation of experimental treatments in Sept. 2004.
