| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted to further investigate the effects of fan use for cooling bentgrass greens. Lists other methods of cooling the greens including syringing and mowing at the highest acceptable height "to increase photosynthetic leaf area." Describes the materials and methods used in the study and the procedures for fan treatment and syringe treatment. Also describes the method used for data collection. Results indicate that fans and syringing provided the best cooling of bentgrass greens and fans had the greatest effect on root-length density. States that "in this case, we concluded that the extra water provided by the syringing treatment was either improving the quality through providing extra irrigation or causing a cooling effect in the turfgrass canopy that we were unable to measure with our temperature probes buried in the soil." Concludes that "in some weeks fan + syringing significantly lowered soil temperatures, and in others the use of fans alone was just as effective as the fan + syringing treatment. The use of fans increased the length and mass of creeping bentgrass roots, but syringing did not. In 2002, the fan + syringing treatment significantly improved turf quality on most rating dates. For most of the summer in 2003, there were no significant differences in visual turf quality, but in September and October the fan and/or syringing treatment did improve visual turf quality." |
