| Abstract/Contents: | "Athletic fields need to provide quality turfgrass to maximize playing conditions and provide a safe surface. A two-year study was conducted to evaluate traction, surface hardness, infiltration, and turfgrass quality for a range of root zone treatments. The objective of this research was to compare a range of soil-sand root zone mixtures amended with calcined clay and zeolite relative to surface traction, hardness, infiltration and turf quality responses. Root zone treatments included 90% sand/10% peat, 100% soil, 100% sand, a range of sand/calcined clay/soil mixes (85/10/5, 85/5/10, 80/10/10, and 70/15/15 by volume), and a range of sand-zeolite-soil mixes (85/10/5, 85/5/10, 80/10/10, and 70/15/15 by volume). Traction, assessed with a shear unit, and shock attenuation (playability or surface hardness) were within expected ranges for most treatments. Infiltration rates were higher for the 90% sand-10% peat and 100% sand treatments (26.7 cm/hr average) compared to the other treatments; however, the sand-calcined clay(10%)-soil(10%) treatment was similar (17.0 cm/hr average) and only about 36% lower. Recommendations from this study suggest that appropriate playability of athletic fields can occur with sand-soil mixes amended with calcined clay or zeolite." |
