EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT DOSES OF COMPOUND SLOW- RELEASE FERTILIZERS AND LIQUID FERTILIZER APPLICATION ON TURFGRASS QUALITY
Project no. 23397 · Status: Kapanmış (Yayın bekleniyor) · 2021
Summary
<p>This research was carried out in the experimental fields of Ege University Bayindir Vocational School between 2021-2022. In the study, the effects of domestic and imported slow-release compound granular fertilizer doses and liquid fertilizer applications on grass quality were investigated. In the study, a mixture of 70% Festuca arundinacea, 20% Lolium perenne and 10% Poa pretensis, which can preserve its feature of being evergreen in the Bayındır region, was used. Quality (1-9 points), colour/green index (1-9 points), plant height (cm), texture (1- 9 points), competition with weeds (1-9 points), coverage degree (%), fresh root yield (gr) and root length (cm) parameters were examined in all seasons (spring, summer, autumn and winter) of the parcels consisting of 36 parcels and 2 m² areas.</p><p>According to the data obtained from the research; It was understood that there was no significant difference between domestic and imported slow-release fertilizers, and it was revealed that 10 gr/m2 N and 15 gr/m2 N fertilizer doses gave better results in both fertilizer types. The highest data in the examined parameters were determined in the autumn and spring seasons, and the lowest data were determined in the summer season. It was determined that liquid fertilizer applications had a positive effect on the examined characters. The results of this research will provide a great economic benefit in all sectors where turfgrass is widely used and will help pave the way for advancing turfgrass research.</p>
