| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted to "determine whether particle size distribution and/or application rate will affect color, turfgrass quality, turfgrass cover, disease incidence, and earthworm activity." Describes the materials and methods used during the experiment, explaining that it "was initiated in July of 2007 when the initial sand treatments were applied. Sand treatments were applied on a monthly schedule through November of 2007." Reports results regarding turf quality, color, and cover; soil moisture; surface firmness; earthworm castings; and dollar spot incidence. States that "the data analysis indicates that fairway topdressing postively influences turf quality, color, and cover." Concludes that "fairway topdressing is not for every golf course. It requires a long-term commitment and investment that, over time, can improve playing conditions." |
