Abstract/Contents: | Discusses potential benefits of aeration, including "rejuvenation of...tired warm-season turf"; "improved air exchange between soil and air"; "improved resistance to nematodes"; "improved fertilizer uptake and use"; "reduced water runoff and puddling"; and "enhance thatch breakdown." Concludes that "all of the other components must come into play: fertility, watering, mowing, sunlight...but aeration will enhance the benefits that the turfgrass receives from the other factors." |
