| Abstract/Contents: | "Soil compaction and organic matter accumulation are major problems for putting greens management, often leading to conditions which reduce infiltration rates, inhibit rooting, and affect playability. Aerification practices are commonly used to improve soil physical conditions. Alternative aerification technologies such as DryJect and Air2G2 are less disruptive to playing surface compared to conventional aerification practices. Uncertainty remains for optimum timing and frequency of application, and how these practices could be used to complement conventional aerification methods. The objective of this research was to determine the best cultivation practices for improving turf performance and soil physical properties of golf putting greens throughout growing season. A field study was conducted on an existing Penncross creeping bentgrass [Agrostis stoloniferous L.] green at Oklahoma State University Turfgrass Research Station in Stillwater, OK. The experiment was arranged as a two-factor, randomized complete block design with four replications. Treatments included Air2G2, DryJect, and a non-cultivated control, each with or without hollow-tine core aerification. Parameters evaluated were soil volumetric water content, surface firmness, falling-head infiltration rate, ball roll distance, rooting mass, and soil organic matter content. Results from the first year of field study will be discussed." |
