Abstract/Contents: | "Considerable research information is available on procedures for the construction of high-sand root zones. However, there is a lack of data on the long-term, real-world performance of these high-sand root zones. Thus, the objective of this investigation was to assess the long-term performance and maintenance costs of a high-sand root zone in a high rainfall climate in Japan. Turfgrass and root zone performance assessments were conducted for a seven-year period, as well as records of the annual material and labor inputs. Results revealed very-good putting green surface quality, supported by good soil drainage and rooting, especially compared to the previous loamy-clay root zone. There was a distinct trend to reduced costs approximately 40% compared to the earlier loamy-clay root zone. In addition, there was a distinct reduction in the frequency and types of diseases that occurred such as dollar spot, brown patch and Pythium blight." |
