| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted by the United States Golf Association (USGA) to evaluate sand-based root zones. Explains that "greens were established with Providence creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris Huds). Root-zone-mix treatments were 80% sand and 20% sphagnum peat (80:20 by volume) and 80% sand, 15% sphagnum peat and 5% soil (80:15:5 by volume)." Reports that "as a green matures, soil infiltration is not affected in the first two years after grow-in but decreases significantly in the third year and this trend continues for up to eight years post construction"; "total porosity decreased minimally over time while air-filled porosity decreased at a greater rate with a corresponding increase in capillary porosity"; and "consistent topdressing program has resulted in no visible layering, only an overall color transition between developing mat layer and underlying original root-zone." |
