| Abstract/Contents: | Details the use of four pieces of pitch-evaluating equipment used for the 2010 FIFA World Cup Tournament. Emphasizes the importance of evaluating pitch quality, as "the most critical parameters for the preparation of pitches include grass density, sward height, soil water content, hardness, stability, and ball rebound/ball roll properties." Discusses how the evaluation results are applied to the alteration of turf maintenance for each piece of equipment used: Theta probe; traction apparatus; prism for grass height; and the Clegg Impact tester. |
