| Abstract/Contents: | Summarizes a workshop focused on physical treatment for sports turf. Explains that "physical treatment refers to any cultivation activity carried out in the soil." Offers potential considerations to take when planning a renovation program and lists potential physical treatment options, including hollow tine cultivation, solid tine cultivation, horizontal fissuring devices, high pressure water injection, air/gas injection, and de-thatching/verticutting. Concludes that "there are many considerations when compiling a physical treatment programme [program]. Recipes do not have a place, and it is a matter of identifying the inherent problems of the surface/root zone. There are numerous physical treatment options available, and it is a matter of matching the mode of operation with the problem in hand. Further, it is important to understand what conditions are needed to get best results from the selection option." |
