| Abstract/Contents: | "Grass clippings, removed from putting green surfaces, contain sand when sand topdressing is done regularly. Analyses of such clippings may require that the sand be separated from the clippings. In the past, this process has generally been accomplished through time-consuming, destructive techniques that limit the range of analyses. The objective of this study was to develop a rapid, non-destructive technique to separate bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) clippings from topdressing sand. This procedure utilized an inclined, vibrating deck apparatus that effectively separated sand and clippings over a range of 0 to 100% sand. During replicated testing, this technique separated clippings from sand to within 3% of the known clipping weight in sand:clipping mixtures. Unlike the standard muffle furnace method, this technique more accurately measured the clipping biomass without the 9 to 10% remnant ash, which must be removed in an additional step. The technique is simple, rapid, and the undamaged clippings can be used for further analyses without sand weight skewing results." |
