| Abstract/Contents: | Describes studies that have investigated the role of soil carbon dioxide (CO2) in turf health. Results indicate that "by keeping levels of soil CO2 below 2%, many of the problems that typically beset putting greens can be avoided". Provides a list of conditions that may lead to soil CO2 readings above 2%. Concludes that "high CO2 alone [isn't] enough to damage turfgrass plants...instead, it appears as though the low oxygen that occurs when soils are compacted, waterlogged or otherwise damaged is the culprit in increased turf damage". |
