The relationship between mineral concentration, electric conductibility and pH values in the late fall dew water on the two creeping bentgrass cultivars’ turf

Abstract

The additional effects of matrix modifiers on the measurement of the mineral elements in late fall dew on two creeping bentgrass cultivars by atomic spectrometry method were observed. The calcium carbonate as matrix modifier for the determination of potassium (K) showed higher values than without modifier. The lanthanum chloride as matrix modifiers for the determination of calcium (Ca) showed significantly higher values than without modifier. The lanthanum chloride as matrix modifiers for the determination of magnesium (Mg) showed no effects on them. However, all of mineral concentration in the dew water of Penncross was higher than CY-2. The co-relationship between electric conductibility values (EC) and all mineral concentration values with matrix modifiers showed significantly high.
