Abstract/Contents: | "Traffic is broken down into wear and soil compaction but few studies directly compare between these two confounding factors and their interactive effects on soil and plant response. The objective of this study was to differentiate between the effects of wear and compaction on turfgrass performance and soil physical and surface properties. Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) and perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) were planted in the fall of 2004 on both sand and silt loam [coarse silty mixed, non acid, mesic Typic Udifluvents] soils. Both soils were compacted to a uniform hardness before planting. Treatments included a compaction and non-compaction treatment with a wear and non-wear treatment. Wear was applied with a steel brush set into a frame so no compaction was imposed. Compaction significantly inhibited establishment compared to non-compaction. Compaction treatments increased perennial ryegrass content in the stand over non-compaction. The sand promoted greater Kentucky bluegrass and thatch tendency. Rooting in response to compaction increased in the 0 to 7.5 cm zone and decreased in the 7.5 to 15 cm soil depth when compared to non-compaction. Wear main effects accounted for 90% of the total variation in wear injury with soil and compaction main effects and interaction components accounting for the balance. Deep rooting decreased with greater soil penetration resistance. Soil and wear main effects were the principal factors affecting turfgrass quality. Wear treatment did not affect soil physical properties while compaction altered aeration porosity, percent of maximum dry density, and saturated hydraulic conductivity." |
