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

Abstract

ABSTRACT newlineTurf grasses are used in various sports field garden and considered as Heart of Garden . so newlinekeeping all this in view a well refined protocol needs to be standardized for increase more newlineknowledge and information regarding grasses. Nitrogen plays vital role in plant growth and newlinechlorophyll formation in plants. Turf grasses are also affected by the N mineralization. So newlineinvestigate size and height in turf () are very important. Two field experiments were carried out newlineat Central Research Field Department of Horticulture, SHUATS, Prayagraj -211007,U.P. (India) newlineduring the year 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 respectively. This study was under taken to examine newlinestandardize the suitable protocol for turf growing grass farm grown in temperate and subtropical newlineclimate. Two turfgrasses Buffalograss and Bermudagrass were grown with each comprising of newlinetreatments replicated thrice. The effect of four levels of nitrogen (50, 100, 150 and 200 newlinegN/m2 newline/month) and three factors (3.00, 4.00 and 5.00mm) on the growth behaviour of two range newlinegrasses i.e. Bermuda grass and Buffalo grass was studied. Nitrogen plays vital role in plant newlinegrowth and chlorophyll formation in plants. Turf grasses are also affected by the N newlinemineralization. The application of different doses of fertilizer increased the shoot and root newlinebiomass, the former to a greater degree. The inducing effect of increasing levels of nitrogen was newlinemore pronounced on the aerial parts than on the underground parts as indicated by decreasing newlineroot and shoot ratio. So investigate size and height in turf () is very important. This study was newlineunder taken to examine the standardized the suitable protocol for turf growing grass farm grown newlinein temperate and subtropical climate. Moreover, Bermuda grass responded better to N newlineapplication than buffalo grass whereas seasonal variations were negligible with slight superiority newlineof spring season over autumn in some cases. Therefore, optimum use of nitrogen fertilizer in newlinesmall split doses would help better towards vigorous growth of t
