| Abstract/Contents: | "Since 1997, research at the University of Nebraska has evaluated the physical and chemical effects of accelerated establishment on the long-term performance of putting greens. The study's findings include: Water infiltration decreases as a sand-based rootzone matures. The decrease is associated with a decrease in airfilled porosity and an increase in capillary porosity over time. Total porosity, however, remains relatively constant. The addition of soil to the rootzone does not affect the rate of decrease in infiltration with maturity. The decrease in infiltration may be attributable to placement and movement of fine sand particles from topdressing sand or accumulated organic matter. Beyond the establishment, or grow-in year, phosphorous was the only element that accumulated in the rootzone from initial applications during establishment. Nitrogen and phosphorous begin to accumulate in the later years of a greens maturity indicating the potential for decreasing inputs as greens matures." |
