| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses water availabiltiy to turf species in sand root zones, stating that "the availability of water to turf species growing on sand root zone mixes has generally been estimated from laboratory procedures using small cores and pressure inducing apparatus." Explains that "it is hypothesised that the United States Golf Association - Greens Sections (U.S.G.A) design for the root zone mix will rapidly drain excess water following rainfall or irrigation so that within hours a moisture content at apparent field capacity can be achieved." Concludes that "the GTI [Guelph Turfgrass Institute] researchers found the U.S.G.A. specifications for the sand root zone mix to be very efficient in providing for the storage of available water for grass." Also mentions Bluegrass cultivars selection. |
