Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the accumulation of organic matter on fine turf, highlighting "setting short-term targets", "achieving and sustaining the correct organic matter balance", "scarification", "hollow coring", "top dressing", "aeration", "soil health management", and "renovation choices" as potentially important ways to improve turf. Distinguishes between "curative and preventative measures", stating that "sustained programmes [programs] of aggressive curative treatments through the year are not always needed if the right choices are made at renovations times. It is also essential that comprehensive preventative measures are also developed to avoid disruptive future curative programmes." |
