Abstract

Fertilization of Bermuda grass (Cynodon adctylon), Korean carpet grass (Axonopus affinis), and Manila grass ((Zoysia matrella), grown on Guadalupe clay and Novaliches clay favors the growth of the turf grasses.

Bermuda grass and Korean carpet grass require nitrogen and phosphorus while Manila grass requires nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium to attain the best growth.

Fast growing Manila grass may serve as a cover crop in places where erosion is a problem, but Korean carpet grass may be preferred in places where beauty is more emphasized.

The uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, and magnesium differed between soils and among grass as influenced by the differences in soil properties, the type of grasses, and the fertilizer elements added.
