| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted to "determine the effects of various aggressive verticutting and core aeration treatments on surface organic matter removal from a sand-based putting green." Details methods and materials used in the study, highlighting cultivation methods and organic matter removal. States that "cultivation treatments were applied using either a Graden verticutter or a Toro greens aerator in the spring and fall of each study year. Verticutting treatments were made to a 1-inch depth to ensure complete penetration through the thatch/mat layers and included varying blade widths...All of the verticutting treatments removed more surface organic matter than any of the core aeration treatments...The 3 mm [millimeter] verticutting treatment removed more than four times the amount of organic matter than each core aeration treatment." Reports that "cultivation channels healed over more quickly for core aeration treatments compared to the verticutting treatments...Aeration holes created by coring treatments were less prone to collapsing and were more completely filled with topdressing sand, creating a smoother surface that hastened recovery." Concludes that "core aeration with closely spaced tines may provide more general surface organic matter maintenance for putting greens that must return to a high level of quality shortly following cultivation." |
