Abstract/Contents:Discusses cultivation as a potential method of organic matter management. States that "it is not uncommon for newly constructed creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) greens to perfrom very well during the first few years following establishment, but then decline in subsequent years, especially during periods of high temperature and humidity." Suggests that "this is likely the restult of the rootzone physical properties changing over time, especially near the surface where organic matter (OM) accumulates." States that "cultivation techniques that may be effective in reducing OM and maintaining desirable rootzone physical properties include aggressive verticutting and core aerification with closely spaced tines." Notes that "verticutting treatments were more aggressive and effective at removing OM from the surface inch of the putting green rootzone than core aerification treatments. However, the verticutting treatments removed a disproportionately large amount of debris and recovered slower."
