Abstract/Contents:Discusses the process of organic matter (OM) accumulation, stating that "OM accumulation in a sand-based rootzone can lead to some serious issues when it comes to playability and water movement within the rootzone." Reports that the author "studied the OM accumulation in two rootzones with Kentucky bluegrass growing on them," and details his findings from spring 2004 through fall 2006. Concludes that in maintaining the fields at Iowa State University, "most of our cultural practices are geared toward managing the soil organic matter and consistency throughout the soil profile."
