Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted to "investigate potential for clogging of geotextile pores from fines migrating out of the rootzone mixture." Describes the experiment and the methods used. Reports that "considerably greater water tensions developed at the bottom of rootzones in standard USGA [United States Golf Association] gravel-based greens compared to Airfield Systems greens." |

USGA Summary Points: | Considerably greater water tensions developed at the bottom of rootzones in standard USGA gravel-based green compared to Airfield Systems greens. Considerably lower water contents were observed in standard USGA greens compared to Airfield Systems greens. Airfield Systems greens held about 12 mm more water in the rootzone than the standard USGA greens--about three days more water for the grass to utilize. |
