| USGA Summary Points: | University of Nebraska researchers are characterizing the long-term effects of rootzone mix on soil physical parameters, specifically saturated hydraulic conductivity, total and air-filled porosity, and bulk density. Results to date indicate that as green matures, soil infiltration is not affected in the first two years after grow-in, decreases significantly in the third year after grow-in, and this trend continues for up to eight years after construction regardless of rootzone. Turfgrass lateral shear strength follows a seasonal trend where spring data has the highest strength of the growing year, followed by the lowest root strength in the summer. Initial data indicated that the light, frequent topdressing program results in an accumulation of approximately 0.25″ of material per year and that this material is significantly higher in organic matter than the original rootzone. Research is being conducted to compare and contrast the organic matter present in the original rootzone versus that of the accumulated mat layer. |
