Abstract/Contents: | Discusses mowing as a means to de-pressurize turf, stating that "[mowing] is generally regarded as the most influential treatment affecting both the playing quality of the surface and the plant health." Discusses plant physiology, mower type, mower set-up, and de-stressing the turf. Lists "[typical] adjustments made to stressed, short-cut turf" and concludes that "lightweight pedestrian rotary mowers have come to dominate general mowing practices at some sites in the UK [United Kingdom] and Ireland." |
