| USGA Summary Points: | University of Nebraska researchers are characterizing the long-term effects of rootzone mix on soil physical and chemical parameters. 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 growing in, and this trend continues for up to nine years after construction regardless of root zone. Light, frequent topdressings result in a an accumulation of approximately 0.25 inches of material per year and this material is significantly higher in organic matter than the original rootzone. After the establishment year, regardless of grow-in fertility, all nutrients stabilize, except for phosphorous that remained high in the accelerated grow-in treatment plots for several years after establishment. Research is being conducted to compare and contrast the organic matter present in the original rootzone versus that of the accumulated mat layer. |
