| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses compaction and organic matter (OM) management. States that "soil compaction causes an increase in bulk density (mass/unit volume) due to a decrease in soil porosity. Pore space is necessary to get oxygen to the roots, hold water for the turf, and aid rooting." Also states that "excess OM accumulation is a common cause for failure of or problems with new sand-based greens. OM is constantly recycled into the upper rootzone of greens when shoots, roots, stolos, and other plant parts die back and are replaced throughout the season." Describes how cultivation may be an effective technique in managing compaction and OM accumulation. Lists OM management options and compaction management problems, including advantages and disadvantages of each. |
