| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses management of root systems, stating that "the principle function of the root system of a plant is to absorb water and nutrients. For the sports turf manager the secondary function is of prime importance in resisting the tear or shear of the plant from the soil material by the cleat on the athletes shoe." Discusses potential "factors which influence root growth that the sports turf manager has a degree of control over [including] soil physical conditions, fertilizer use, mowing and irrigation." |
