| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted to determine the effectiveness of using nitrogen and topdressing to control thatch in 'Meyer' zoysiagrass. Details methods and materials used in the study, stating that "the turf site used in this study was a 17-year old stand of Zoysia japonica Steud, cv 'Meyer'...Aerification treatments were made by using a Ryan 'Greensaire 24' with 1/2 inch diameter cores left on the surface after raking to break up the cores...Ureaformaldehyde fertilizer was applied with a drop spreader immediately following the aerification treatment on July 9, 1987." States that "total mat depth was measured in September 1988...[and] visual quality ratings were taken at bi-weekly intervals in 1987, 1988 and 1989." Reports that "average mat depth tripled between the 15 (1988) and 27 (1989) month measurements since the initiation of treatments...True thatch was still insignificant." |
