Study of Different Level of Nitrogen and Moving Height of Turf Grasses

Madhur Kumar, Narendra Kumar

The effect of four levels of nitrogen (50, 100, 150 and 200 gN/m2/month) and three moving factors (3.00, 4.00 and 5.00mm) on the growth behavior of two range grasses i.e. Bermuda grass and Buffalo grass was studied. Nitrogen plays vital role in plant growth and chlorophyll formation in plants. Turf grasses are also affected by the N mineralization. The application of different doses of fertilizer increased the shoot and root biomass, the former to a greater degree. The inducing effect of increasing levels of nitrogen was more pronounced on the aerial parts than on the underground parts as indicated by decreasing root and shoot ratio. So investigate size and height in turf (Moving) is very important. This study was under taken to examine the standardized the suitable protocol for turf growing grass farm grown in temperate and subtropical climate. Moreover, Bermuda grass responded better to N application than buffalo grass whereas seasonal variations were negligible with slight superiority of spring season over autumn in some cases. Therefore, optimum use of nitrogen fertilizer in small split doses would help better towards vigorous growth of turf grasses and to keep your lawns and green spaces attractive and healthy. A Plant height, total survival percentage, disease and death percentage of plant per clipping, number of leaves per plant, number of leaves per 10cm, branches per plant, turfgrass quality, number of stolen and first sprouting at nodes were highest for 200 g N/m2/month in both grasses, whereas, shoot fresh and dry weight ratio was more for 20 g N/m2/month. Moreover, leaf density, rate of coverage, shoot fresh weight, shoot dry weight, leaf area and leaf N percentage was observed more in spring as compared to autumn. While other indices of study like plant height, number of leaves per tiller, turfgrass quality and stolon diameter presented similar response during both seasons.
