| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the use of "crumb rubber as a soil amendment in different turfgrass situations." Suggests that "crumb rubber particles introduced to the turf/soil system will increase turfgrass wear tolerance, reduce soil compaction, and subsequently reduce turf system inputs." Describes research conducted at Michigan State University "to provide an incorporation method that is less disruptive and easier than tilling crumb rubber into the soil profile." Concludes that "when topdressed, crumb rubber can extend turfgrass wear tolerance and reduce soil compaction in high-traffic areas. The more this product is researched and tested, the more uses will be found." |
