| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the use of synthetic turf covers, highlighting potential advantages and limitations. States that "the use of synthetic covers has gained popularity in providing some protection of turf areas such as golf greens and athletic fields from winter stresses, in particular, desiccation." Notes that "if covers are removed too early in the spring the benefits of covers may be negated and may also make turf more vulnerable to freezing temperatures and drying winds. Generally, covers should remain in place for up to three weeks after snowmelt or until variable weather conditions have ended." |
