Abstract
Organic fertilizers are divided into natural organic and synthetic organics. The benefits of natural organic fertilizer were reported from the previous researches. However, the limited research results about clippings as a source of natural organic fertilizers were reported. The objective of the research to investigate effects of liquid fertilizer produced from fermented clippings for creeping bentgrass growth. Liquid fertilizer (LF) produced was used for the research to be compared with Urea and two natural organic fertilizers of different source (NO-1 and NO-2). Creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L., L-93) was used for the study. Turfgrass quality was measured by visual evaluation every two weeks from June to October, 2011 using a scale of 1 to 9 (1=worst, 6=acceptable, and 9=best). Turfgrass disease damage was measured by percent of area damaged when a turfgrass disease occurred. LF produced lower damage than NO and urea when temperature was high. Although NO-2 produced the highest or equal to the highest turfgrass quality in June and October, LF had the highest or equal to the highest quality from July to September.
