Both greens were established in the summer and fall of 2002. The greens will mowed at 1/8" daily through the whole season. The study sites will be maintained with pest control, cultivation, and any other routine practices needed.
The treatments will have similar N, P, and K contents with necessary adjustment for different treatments. The plots will not receive any additional fertilizers during the study.
All treatments will be applied by All products were applied via a calibrated CO2 sprayer in order to receive even coverage. The granular fertilizer will be applied by hands. The plot size will be 6 feet by 6 feet. A complete random design with four replications will be used for the study.
