| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Dartmouth College's turf manager George A. Brothers, and his responsibility "for anything that has to do with growing turf, from general maintenance and pesticide treatments to renovations." Explains that "for general maintenance, individual assignments vary according to staff expertise and balancing the workload; [the staff functions] as one crew for projects such as the winter prep aeration and overseeding." Describes field preparations for each season, stating that "field preparation for fall play begins in August and wraps up on all the fields by the first week of September...Around Labor Day, [Brothers will] start with a fertilizer higher in potassium to toughen the turf for the fall and winter, usually using a 22-3-11 with 3 percent iron at the rate of 1 pound of N [nitrogen] per thousand square feet." Discusses Dartmouth field construction, explaining that "the Clark Companies of Delhi, [New York], handles all...field construction." Concludes that "construction is part of Dartmouth's ever-changing, ever-growing athletic program...the cooperation and coordination between the grounds and athletic departments [at Dartmouth] demonstrate the planning and flexibility required to function effectively." |
