Question: | "My course has made a commitment to increase core aeration and surface topdressing. Any suggestions on how we can monitor our progress?" |
Source of Question: | Ohio |
Answer/Response: | "Visual ongoing inspection of the profile is important to ensure that there is no layering, which in this case suggests topdressing rates that are out of sync with turf growth and aging. In addition, representative physical analysis tests every couple of years can be used to quantify aeration versus capillary pore space, along with the percentage of organic matter. Cross comparing future tests helps quantify progress or the lack thereof. Over time there also should be a marked improvement in turf health/dependability. Finally, a Turf Advisory Service visit each year provides an outside perspective of the above factors (visual monitoring, physical analysis, and improved quality/dependability)." |
