Nitrogen fertilizer form and associated nitrate leaching from cool-season lawn turf.
Various N fertilizer sources are available for lawn turf. Few field studies, however, have determined the losses of nitrate (NO(3)-N) from lawns receiving different formulations of N fertilizers. The objectives of this study were to determine the differences in NO(3)-N leaching losses among various N fertilizer sources and to ascertain when losses were most likely to occur. The field experiment...
متن کاملCover Crops in Sustainable Food Production
Cover crops are important components of sustainable agricultural systems. They increase surface residue and aid in the reduction of soil erosion. They improve the structure and water-holding capacity of the soil and thus increase the effectiveness of applied N fertilizer. Legume cover crops such as hairy vetch and crimson clover fix nitrogen and contribute to the nitrogen requirements of subseq...

This study assesses the ability of multitemporal Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) data and the normalized diVerence vegetation index (NDVI) to spectrally separate grazed cool season and warm season grassland cover types in Douglas County, Kansas. Biophysical data collected during the summer of 1997 suggest that diVerences in the per cent of total living vegetation cover, per cent of senescent veget...
متن کاملMechanisms of drought stress tolerance in cool season grasses
Drought stress is one of the most limiting abiotic stresses affecting growth, production and survival of plants in many areas of the world, and is expected to intensify considering the trend of climate change. Grass species are important for the sustainability of agricultural systems, forage resources for animal farming and landscapes. Grass species adapt to water deficit by different morpholog...
