| Abstract/Contents: | "Increased salinity, sodium and soil compaction are significant problems for turfgrass managers in the desert southwest. The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the efficacy of three different cultivation techniques to reduce compaction, salinity and sodium on fairways at each of four different golf courses in the Phoenix, AZ area. The three techniques included: 1) Vertidrain equipped with 0.625 in x 10 in solid tines, 2) Blec (GB1500), and 3) Blec Sandmaster (GSM1500). Treatment plot dimensions measured 15 ft x 100 ft and were replicated three times at each golf course. All three cultivation techniques were done only one time at each site and were conducted on June 14, 2006. The effects of the cultivation techniques were measured by laboratory analysis of soil samples. Soil samples were collected before and at 2, 4, and 8 weeks following cultivation. Definite trends were observed in sodium (Na) reduction at all four courses, although not statistically significant. At 2 weeks after treatment (WAT), Na was reduced by nearly 20% compared to the control at two courses and over 25% at a third course for the Blec treatment. The Blec Sandmaster treatment reduced Na by nearly 20% at two courses, 14% at a third course, and 8% at the fourth course at 2 WAT. At two courses, Na was reduced by 8%, nearly 18% at the third course, and no change occurred at the fourth course for the Vertidrain treatment. The beneficial effects of reducing Na with each treatment declined as the study progressed to 4 and 8 WAT." |
