Turfgrass Reflectance Measurements, Chlorophyll, and Soil Nitrate Desorbed from Anion Exchange Membranes

1999) in a variety of locations and soil types. The AEM technique, however, may be more sensitive than tradiThere is not extensive research on the potential of anion exchange tional extractions to treatment differences at low soil membranes (AEMs) for determining available N in soils of turfgrass NO3–N concentrations (Pare et al., 1995; Wander et al., systems, nor on the use of reflectance mete...

Relationship of Turfgrass Growth and Quality to Soil Nitrate Desorbed from Anion Exchange Membranes

do not completely contact the soil. Furthermore, it is possible that the adsorption of ions by resins is governed by Anion exchange membranes (AEMs) are a potential method for two distinct diffusion coefficients, an internal and an exdetermining the plant available N status of soils; however, their capacity for use with turfgrass has not been researched extensively. The ternal coefficient (Coop...

Nitrate leaching from Kentucky bluegrass soil columns predicted with anion exchange membranes

Quantifying turfgrass-available N from returned clippings using anion exchange membranes

Returning clippings can provide N to turf, but the amount of plant-available N derived from clippings is not easy to quantify. An accurate estimate of N released by clippings would be useful in guiding turf N fertilizer recommendations. The objective of this study was to determine if anion-exchange membranes (AEMs) could be used to quantify plant-available soil N when clippings are returned. A ...

DIFFUSE REFLECTANCE MEASUREMENTS FROM DIFFERENT SURFACES

Relative diffuse reflection measurements from the original and ground surfaces using a He-Ne laser are reported. The intensity measurements for the metallic, transparent dielectric, matte plastic surfaces and colored papers are presented. Our results indicate that among metallic surfaces tested, aluminum has the highest diffuse reflectance; while the original stainless steel surface shows the l...
