Activities:
My research program centers on Environmental
Turfgrass Management. Specifically, I work in the area
of fertilizer management and the environmental consequences
of applied fertilizer. Other research areas include turfgrass
cultivar evaluation, fertilizer response trials, and
sports turf management evaluations. Current work in
progress includes: 1) nitrogen rates for grow-in and
maintenance of TifSport and Tifway bermudagrass turf
for athletic fields, 2) nitrogen leaching in putting
greens as affected by N source, 3) Tifway bermudagrass
response to aerification tine size, 4) use of composted
poultry litter for putting green construction, 5) phosphorus
rate and placement effects in bermudagrass putting
greens, and, 6) bentgrass response to a microbial dethatcher
and other cultivation procedures.
