MORGAN W HAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT POTASSIUM I Credit: “ Divot News7’, Vol. 20 No. 13 May, 1982 Although the role played by Potassium (K) in plant nutrition has long been known, the importance of potash fertil­ izers has received full recognition only in comparitively recent years. A survey taken during 1963 and 1964 in Los Angeles County showed almost one half of the samples tested below that considered adequate for turfgrasses. The presence of adequate available potassium in the soil has much to do with the generaltone and vigor of the plants grown. It is known that potas­ sium improves the ability of the plant to withstand adverse conditions. Be­ sides increasing plant resistance to certain diseases and winter hardiness, potassium also encourages the growth of plant roots. Potassium tends to counteract the ill effects of too much nitrogen and/or phosphorus. In a gen­ eral way, it exerts a balancing effect on both nitrogen and phosphorus. A recent article in the California Turf- grass Culture, April, 1968, by Dr. Roy L. Goss and Dr. C. J. Gould stated that potassium plays an important role in turfgrass vigor, which in turf influences disease development. Potassium serves many roles in the grass plant and, if it becomes deficient can cause: 1. Accumulation of carbohydrates that cannot be synthesized into proteins. 2. Excess of non-protein nitrogen. 3. Failure to produce new cells for lack of amino acids essential for protoplasm formation. 4. Slower growth of meristematic tissue that permits replacement of diseased tissues. 5. Thinner cell walls and epidermal tissues. The readily available potassium con­ stitutes only about 1 or 2 percent of the total amount of this element in an is somewhat more average mineral soil. Although most of this available potassium is in the ex­ changeable form (approximately 90%) soil solution potassium (approximately 10%) readily absorbed by higher plants and is sub­ ject to considerable leaching loss. Roots can absorb a small percent of potassium in the exchangeable form. Dificiency symptoms for lack of po­ tassium on the grass plant are slow growth and light green or yellow color of the blade and stolons. Tips of older leaves may die and the turf may have a “ dry appearance” . Most mineral soils, except those of a sandy nature, are comparatively high in total potassium. In fact, the total quantity of this element is generally greater than that of any other major nutrient element. Yet the quantity of potassium held in an early available condition at any one time often is very small. Most of this element is held rigidly as part of the soil minerals or is fixed in forms that are at best only slightly to moderately available to C O N TIN U ED PAGE 16 SEEKING POSITION AS SUPERINTENDENT OR ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT Stephen John Meyer, 5030 Cooley Lake Road, Pontiac Michigan 48054.

Pepin Director of Research International Seeds, Inc. P.O. Box 168, Halsey, OR 97348 ‘R E G A L’ perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) is a 3-clone synthetic cultivar developed by International Seeds, Inc. The parental clones were selected by turf testing op en-pollinated progeny obtained from a population of turf-type perennial ryegrass spaced- plants assembled at Albany, Ore., in 1972. The three parent clones included derivatives of clones selected for fine turf appearance from old turf areas in the mid-Atlantic region of the U.S. by C. Reed Funk and other workers at the New Jersey Agric. Exp. Stn. Regal was released in 1977 and first certified seed was harvested in 1977. PR. 731 was the experimental designa­ tion of this cultivar. Regal is a low-growing, dark green, fine-textured cultivar with medium turf density and good turf performance in many areas of the USA. It has demonstrated particularly good turf performance compared to other rye­ grass cultivars in the areas having severe summer stress. It has the rapid germination and establishment char­ acteristics of other perennial rye­ grasses and is comparable to the majority of currently available turf- type ryegrasses. Regal is moderately susceptible to brown blight incited by Helminthos- porium siccans Drechsler and has good resistance to brown patch caused by It has Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn. demonstrated better to summer stress than other cultivars tested. It has good winter-hardiness compared to older cultivars such as Linn, NK100, and Game, and is com­ tolerance parable to most other turf-type culti- vars. Regal is commonly used for cool- season turf. It is used alone and also in blends with other cultivars and in mix­ tures with other turf species such as Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) It is well suited and commonly used for fall overseeding of dormant turf areas such as golf greens, tees, fairways and lawns in the southern U. S. None of the parental clones of Regal appear to carry the genetic factors for strong fluorescence in seedling roots. Regal is very early in maturity and has demonstrated good seed production in western Oregon. Seed propagation is limited to the breader, foundation, regisered, and certified classes of seed. Breeder seed is maintained by Interna­ tional Seeds, Inc., P.O. Box 168, Halsey OR 97348, United States Plant Variety Protection Application No. 7700110 is pending for Regal. International Seeds, Inc., Halsey, Ore., has been granted trademark protec­ tion for its overseeding blend Ph.D.® by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office according to Harry Stalford, Products Manager. Stalford said Ph.D.® is a blend of three leading perennial turf-type ryegrasses. Ph.D. has been used extensively for the winter seeding of golf courses in the Southern U.S. and for the reseeding of athletic fields, Stalford said. Stalford said that Ph.D.® has been marketed since 1980. 6 Scotts most successful product is not available for sale.. only for advice and support... your ProTurf lech Rep.

We see coming on the scene, a highly skilled individual with school­ ing, and solid golf course apprentice­ ship. These facts have made the super­ intendent’ s position one that is highly skilled and knowledgeable. Is manage­ ment paying for this expertise? We have superintendents caring for properties that would cost millions to replace, their annual salary cost is minimal considering the cost of fatal mistakes and mismanagement of these properties. Like everyone else, the superintendent must prove his worth. He must be able to give the club the finest course avail­ able for whatever budget management Tire W h ole sa le rs Com pany, Inc.

This is critical, since poor financial management will sour the whole picture. Management must also be aware of what kind of course the budget will allow and not make “ pie in the sky” promises, the superintendent must follow through on any commit­ tment he makes. Don’ t tell manage­ ment something is going to be done and then forget about it for several weeks. Results not promises gets the job done. Management must be made aware of why goals can not be met. Honesty is the best policy. With budgets escalating, clubs expect more and more for their dollars. If the superintendent is producing, manage­ ment will be be happy. Whether they translate this happiness into salary is the issue. The superintendent however can not sit back and wait.

Tersan* 1991 fungicide and Daconil 2787* fungicide are two of the most effec­ tive disease control products on the market. And now, these proven broad-spectrum fungicides are labeled for tank mixing. Together, they give you even better control of major turf diseases than either product used alone. You get improved control, yet without the problem of phytotoxicity com­ mon with some tank mixes. A T ersan 1991/Daconil 2787 tank mix will give you consistent performance against brown patch and dollar spot— the two most troublesome diseases on turf each summer. You’ll also get strong action on leaf spot and other important diseases. It’s the kind of performance superinten­ dents depend on when a quality course can’t be compromised. •Daconil 2787 is a registered trademark of Diamond Shamrock Corporation. Thnk mixing brings other advantages, too. With Tersan 1991 in your tank, you get systemic action for protection from within the turf plant. Disease control is longer- lasting and is less affected by rainfall or frequent irrigation. Tank mixing fungi­ cides with different modes of action also reduces chances of benzimidazole resis­ tance. You help insure the long-term effec­ tiveness of Tersan 1991 in your disease control program. This year, plan on using Tersan 1991 in combination with Daconil 2787. It’s the tank mix turf diseases can’t match. With any chemical, follow labeling Instructions and warnings carefully. <1P!P 13 NO ONE MAKES RAIN SO R a in ^ B ir d Sim ply Better. um mm 14 TURF M ANAGEM ENT FOR GOLF COURSES Dr. Beard Pens New USGA Sponsored Text: turfgrass FAR HILLS, N. J. — Turf M anage ment for Golf Course, written by eminent researcher Dr. James B. Beard and sponsored by the United States Golf Association, is the newest and most comprehensive refer­ ence and “ how-to” book concerned with the culture and management of golf turf. The book, a detailed, well-illustrated work that was eight years in the writing, emphasizes the application of basic turfgrass principles to golf course turf­ grass culture. In preparing the book, Dr. Beard, Professor of turfgrass science in the Department of Soil and Crop Sciences at Texas A & M University, was assisted by the staff agronomists of the USGA Green Section headed by then-National Director Alexaner M. Radko, and by seven golf course superintendents rep­ resenting the various climatic regions of the United States. The 660-page hard-cover edition, which contains hundreds of easy-to- read line drawings, graphs, illustra­ tions and photographs, provides a handy reference tool for golf course superintendents, golf club officials, course owners, committee chairmen, golf course architects, novice golf course workers and student of golf course turfgrass culture. “ The goal was to provide a comprehen­ sive, practical book that can be used by professional individuals in leadership and management positions on all types of golf courses, including private, municipal and public fee facilities,” Dr. Beard states in the preface of the book. “ It is hoped that the information presented will prove a useful guide and practical reference for the economy, establishment and maintenance of golf course turfs, which in turn will provide optimum conditions for the game of golf.” Turf Management for Golf Courses, published by Burgess Publishing Company of Minneapolis, Minn., is available to the public for $46.75 postpaid.

Overpushiness or threats will get him nowhere. Controlled dis­ cussion and communication at the right time will produce results. If promises are broken or rewards not forth-coming, then it is time to look for greener pastures. Superintendents are no different than other managers, with one big exception — that is, he performs his work for the most part under no direct supervision from his management. He might re­ ceive some general objectives from his owner or chairman, but the perform­ ance is totally his own. He must discipline himself to stay within his own goals, and he must see that these goals ultimately aline with the goals of management. I’ve seen superinten­ dents hanging around their offices day in and day out, having only a vague idea of what is going on out in the field. Self discipline is a very important factor in this profession, and most importantly, pay your dues as an apprentice. Summary: Get the training. Don’ t take a job that you’ re not qualified to do. Do the job right. Tell management how you and they stand, then stand up for your right. Come in on budget at all costs. If management doesn’t recognize your worth, then you both have a problem.

According to George McNew, in the United States Department of Agri­ culture yearbook, Plant Diseases, severe potassium deficiency could interfere with the activity of more than 25 different enzymes. He stated that more plant diseases have been re­ tarded by the use of potash fertilizers than any other substance, perhaps be­ cause potassium is so essential for catalyzing cell activities. He further stated that the balance of nutrient elements may be more important than concentration of total fertilizer when plants are exposed to attack by para­ sites. A deficiency of surplus of any one element often promotes diseases. Drying decreases the solubility of potassium where as aeration increases the uptake of potassium by plant roots. Plants tend to take up soluble potas­ sium far in excess of their needs if sufficiently are present. This tendency is termed “ luxury consumption” . A certain amount of this element is needed for optimum growth and this is termed “ required potassium” . All potassium above this critical level is considered as a luxury, the removal of which is decidedly wasteful C O N TIN U ED NEXT PAGE quantities large TURF PRODUCTS —Homogenous Granulation —High UF (W.I.N.) —Balanced Feeding —Fits Your Budget Distributed by.^— Lebanon Chemical Corporation P.O.
