| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted "to evaluate many factors all within one experiment for management of sports fields and to provide a 'game plan' that can be followed which is a) cost-effective and b) provides the best surface for playing sports in Michigan at the grade and high school level." Details the methods and materials used in the study, stating that "six management factors at two levels were implemented; grass mixtures, fertility, irrigation, re-seeding, core cultivation and crumb rubber." Reports that "topdressing crumb rubber provides a more consistent and stable surface regardless if the playing surface is too hard or too dry. This is an important concept for administrators to evaluate especially with minimal inputs and the safety of the children using these sports fields." |
