| Abstract/Contents: | "In 1995 a lightweight green rolling study was initiated on greens constructed with three different root zone mixes: 1) an 85% sand, 15% peat (v/v) green built to USGA specifications; 2) an 80% sand, 10% peat, 10% soil green built with a gravel layer; and 3) a non-disturbed native soil green (sandy clay loam). There were three replications of each soil type. Treatments included rolling three times per week following early morning mowing, and non-rolled plots. Root zone mix had minimal effect on ball roll distance. Rolled greens increased green speed by approximately 11% on the day of treatment and 6% the day after rolling, compared with non-rolled greens. This suggests that rolling three times per week can significantly increase green speeds six days per week. Lightweight green rolling may have some impact as a cultural management tool as rolled plots displayed reductions in Sclerotinia homoeocarpa, moss growth, and bird activity, the latter of which was related to black cutworm activity. No differences were found regarding turfgrass quality or soil bulk density." |
