This book was released on 2017 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alternatives to conventional nitrogen (N) fertilization on tall fescue [Schedonorus arundinaceus (Schreb.) Dumort., nom. cons. cv. Kentucky-31] and Bermudagrass [Cynadon dactylon (L.) Pers. cv. Vaughns # 1] were studied at the University of Tennessee Plateau Research and Education Center in Crossville, TN. Experimental period occurred from April- September 2016 and 2017, and the experimental design for each experiment was a completely randomized block design with six treatments and four replications per treatment (n = 24). For both experiments treatments were as followed: 1) control (CN) without N fertilization; 2) grass and white clover (WC) [Trifolium repens (L.) cv. Ladino-Will] at a rate of 2.2 kg ha−1; 3) grass and red clover (RC) [Trifolium pretense (L.) cv. Cinnamon Plus] at a rate of 4.5 kg ha−1; 4) grass and cowpea (CW) [Vigna unguiculata (L.) cv. 'Iron & Clay'] at a rate of 56 kg ha−1 5) fertilization with broiler litter (BL) at a rate of 4,500 kg ha−1; and 6) fertilization with ammonium nitrate (AN) at a rate of 67.2 kg ha−1. Differences between least squares means by treatments for botanical composition variables of legume and grass were tested for each species. For each analysis, the dependent variable was herbage mass (HM), crude protein (CP), acid detergent fiber (ADF) and neutral detergent fiber (NDF). There were significant year x treatment interactions for each species for all dependent variables. Red clover treatments resulted in highest for total HM for 2017, which was 1986 kg ha−1 more than other treatments in tall fescue. Red Clover treatments resulted in highest for HM for 2016, 4526 kg ha−1 more than other treatments and 2017, 4289 kg ha−1 more than other treatments in bermudagrass. Treatments containing BL and AN showed no differences for total HM and CP for 2016 and 2017 in both experiments. Treatments containing CW presented over-all lower results compared to other treatments. Utilizing these results in combination with cost associated with each source could assist producers in choosing a more sustainable source of N or a method of reducing their amount and annual-overall cost associated with conventional N.
Download or read book Nitrogen Source and Timing Effect on Carbohydrate Status of Bermudagrass and Tall Fescue written by Anthony Lee Goldsby and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) are important for plant health and recovery from stress. Controlled-release N sources may moderate turfgrass vegetative growth, thereby maximizing NSC levels. Three studies were conducted to determine the effect of N source/timing on NSC levels, turfgrass visual quality, and color of "Midlawn" bermudagrass and turf-type tall fescue. Additionally, the effect on low temperature tolerance of bermudagrass and brown patch incidence on tall fescue was investigated. Nitrogen sources included two polymer-coated ureas (PCU), a polymer-sulfur coated urea (SCU) and urea formaldehyde (UF). Total annual N was applied in either late summer or spring for bermudagrass, and either late summer or split between late summer and spring for tall fescue. Urea, applied at traditional timings, was a control in all studies. NSC status was determined at regular intervals by extracting two cores from each plot, defoliating, and measuring regrowth in a dark growth chamber. Turfgrass color, visual quality and brown patch incidence were rated monthly during the growing season. Bermudagrass low temperature tolerance was evaluated by subjecting plugs to a freezing regime and evaluating regrowth. Over the 2-yr study, N source did not have a significant effect on bermudagrass or tall fescue NSC levels, color, or visual quality. Timing of application, by contrast, did have a significant impact. For bermudagrass, August-applied N resulted in higher overall NSC levels and improved fall color. For tall fescue, split Sept/March applications improved color; but split Sept/ May applications reduced NSC compared to a single Sept application. Brown patch incidence was unaffected by N source or timing, though disease pressure was low. Timing of PCU application did not affect low temperature tolerance of bermudagrass, but PCU improved low temperature survival compared to urea.
