| Abstract/Contents: | Focuses on factors that determine topdressing materials for use on athletic fields. Discusses the physical properties of soil, mentioning that there are 12 types of soil textures. Explains how soil textures influence water movement through the soil profile, noting that "water will move from a coarser textured soil to a finer textured soil more readily than the other way around." Suggests methods for increasing drainage through root zone modifications. Mentions the potential benefits of applying organic matter to soils, emphasizing the importance of a quality material. Reports on cultivation practices, including core aerification, that can improve soil properties. Adds that "the most economical means of topdressing a field is through core aerification," and provides tips on efficiently cultivating soil prior to topdressing applications. |
