Abstract/Contents: | Describes a study undertaken to "understand the thermal properties of sand-based media modified by inorganic amendments." Details how treatments of calcined clay, calcined diatomaceous earth, ceramic, and polymer coated clay were used on test plots seeded with 'Crenshaw' creeping bentgrass, and used as topdressing on a once-yearly basis. Describes how thermocouples were placed in the soil to register temperature every 15 minutes and a TDR was used to measure water content of the profile. Concludes that "inorganic soil amendments commonly used in golf course root-zone media can affect the soil thermal properties and cause different temperature status." |
