| Abstract/Contents: | Reports that "wear and soil compaction are the major cause for turfgrass stress under intense traffic typical of golf courses and athletic field turf." Discusses research conducted to "differentiate between the influence of wear and soil compaction and their interaction on turfgrass stress, and second, to compare the effects of soil compaction between a native soil and sand rootzone on their physical properties conducted in the field." Explains the process taken to complete the research, including explaining how "plots were sown with a seed mixture comprised of 25 percent Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.), America and Touchdown and 75 percent perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.), Fiesta 3, Express, Cutter on Sept. [September] 14, 2004." States that "leaf strength was determined on five randomly chosen, fully developed leaf samples per plot for Kentucky bluegrass and perennial ryegrass." Reports that "the rate of stand establishment was significantly faster in the silt loam than the sand rootzone on all dates that ratings were taken through June 7, 2005." Also reports that "there was a significant compaction by soil interaction on penetration resistance on three out of the four dates that penetration measurements were taken." States that "there was significant wear injury observed on wear-treated plots over the two soils immediately after wear was imposed on June 19, July 6, and Aug. [August] 29, 2006." Concludes that "turfgrass quality was better in spring on sand plots while silt loam plots afforded superior quality in summer...there was little effect from compaction and wear treatments on dry weight, leaf strength and leaf turgidity." |
