Abstract/Contents:"Turfgrass managers are developing a growing interest in the use of soil aeration in their cultural programs. Soil aeration covers practices like coring, shattercore (i.e. solid tine) aerating, slicing and spiking. Regardless of the procedure used, there are numerous benefits that can be derived from aerification. These benefits include: reduced soil compaction, enhanced thatch decomposition, enhanced depth and extent of turfgrass rooting, improved heat, drought and disease tolerance, and improved resiliency."
