| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a summary "of the physical and chemical characteristics of aging golf greens." Details the methods and materials used in the study, stating that "research was conducted at the University of Nebraska John Seaton Anderson Turfgrass Research Facility near Mead, Nebraska. Four experimental greens were constructed in sequential years from 1997 to 2000 following USGA [United States Golf Association] recommendations." Reports that "after the grow-in year, rootzone treatment influenced soil physical properties while establishment treatments did not." Mentions chemical characterization, stating that "during the grow-in year, all but four of the chemical properties investigated were significantly greater for the accelerated grow-in treatment when compared to the controlled grow-in treatment." Concludes that "increased fertilizer inputs during the establishment year may not be feasible or environmentally responsible since they had negative effects on turfgrass establishment, and these rootzones did not retain these inputs over time compared to the controlled grow-in treatment. Additionally, since the rootzone containing soil was essentially equal to the rooztone without soil, incorporating an appropriate, locally available soil into the rootzone may be a more economical alternative than peat when used as a amendment in USGA greens." |
