Popis: Histosol-grown sod is a major agricultural commodity in Florida. Sod fertility requirements need to be identified in order to maximise sod productivity, avoid fertilizer waste, and minimize undesirable impacts on water quality. An experiment was conducted for two consecutive years to determine the effect of N, P, and K fertilization on St-Augustinegrass [Stenotaphrum secundatum (Walt.) Kuntze] sod production on a well-decomposed Histosol (muck). Treatment comparisons were based on turf growth, turf visual quality ratings, cut sod piece quality, tear resistance of cut sod pieces, and measures of cut sod transplantability on sand soil (...)
