| Abstract/Contents: | "Athletics fields that are under excessive use or constructed on poor soils often present unacceptable playability and turfgrass quality. There are several studies that have shown good results of compost applied as amendments and topdressing mostly in golf and in greenhouse or laboratory studies (Loschinkohl and Boehm, 2001). For example, topdressing in spring and fall with sewage sludge and yard waste compost showed enhanced color and increased foliar nitrogen concentrations (Garling and Boehm, 2001). However, there is little information available about compost topdressing and playability on sports fields. The objectives of this research were to measure the short term effects of a single compost application on soil bulk density, playing characteristics, including surface traction, surface hardness and overall turfgrass color." |
