| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses "the occurrence of black layer in turf for sports facilities," stating that "generally the condition has been associated with construction of the fields using U.S.G.A [United States Golf Association] Green Section specifications or variations thereof." Explains that "as the name suggests the condition is black discolorations on the soil particles and slime materials in the root zone which occur as continuous horizontal plates of varying thickness or vertical columns of black, often slimy, root zone material." Discusses possible cures and possible solutions. |
