Nitrogen was applied monthly at rates of low (2.5 g N m− 2), medium (5.0 g N m− 2), and high (7.5 g N m− 2). The turf mixtures were subjected to four different wear treatments at frequencies of zero (control), once per week, once biweekly, and once per month for approximately eight months each experimental year. Wear treatments reduced turf color and quality, cover percentage, and clipping yield. Application of wear every week was detrimental to turf characteristics, whereas wear once every month generally had no significant effect. Nitrogen fertilization resulted in improved color and quality, and increased cover percentage and clipping yield.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessWear damageColorTurf qualityCoverClipping yieldKentucky bluegrassFall fertilizationGrowthSoil compactionResistanceWater-useTolerancePlant sciencesArticle0002499592000112-s2.0-3454719055611391152307-9https://doi.org/10.1080/01904160701394600Plant sciencesGolf Course; Agrostis Stolonifera; Lawns and Turf1532-4087
