| Abstract/Contents: | "This research was initiated to enhance the tilth of fine-textured soil for turf growth by incorporation of crumb rubber shredded from used tires. A specific objective was to determine the physical properties of soil mixes amended with different grade and amount of crumb rubber in soils. Two soils and three different grades(3.5, 6.5, and 9.5 mm) of crumb rubber were used. The soils selected were an Arenzville silt loam(coarse-silty, mixed, nonacid, mesic Typic Udifluvents) and a Hosmer silty clay loam(fine-silty, mixed, mesic Typic Fragiudalfs). The amount of crumb rubber mixed in soil ranged from 0 to 0.4 g • g-1(using 0.05 g • g-1) increments and 0 as a control. For each treatment, soil cores were constructed following the recommendation by the United States Golf Association Green Selection Record. Results indicated that porosity of the mixes decreased as the amount of crumb rubber increased. Regardless of the grade of crumb rubber, mixes with less than 0.15 g • g-1 of crumb rubber in fine-textures soil could not enhance their macro-porosity and hydraulic conductivity. However, as the amendment increased over 0.15 g • g-1, the tilth of the mixes had improved significantly macro-porosity, hydraulic conductivity and air permeability, as compared with a control." |
