Abstract/Contents: | Recommends tools to create a kit for monitoring sand-based rootzone conditions, including a soil core sampler, a box, color charts, a spray bottle, and a ruler and/or tape measure. Also lists chemicals that "can go a long way in providing valuable information for turf management decisions", including hydrochloric acid and a dipyridyl indicator solution. Mentions that the soil kit should also include a means of measuring soil pH, a thermometer, a knife, a small hand shovel, an assortment of zip-lock bags, a permanent marker, and a notebook." Concludes that "it will be up to the individual turf manager to determine how many different areas he or she will have to evaluate separately and how many replications within each area." |
