Abstract/Contents: | Presents research conducted to "[compare] the Rutgers Wear Simulator [RWS] and Cady Traffic Simulator [CTS]." Details the materials and methods used in the study, stating that "the trial area consisted of a 5-yr-old stand of 'Midnight II' Kentucky bluegrass established on a well-drained loam in North Brunswick, NJ [New Jersey]." Continues that "visual assessments of turfgrass quality...were made prior to simulator operation and after every four passes." Reports that "no differences in turfgrass quality were detected between the RWS and CTS prior to simulation or after 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32 and 36 passes. However, turfgrass quality was reduced from 9.0 to 8.6 after 36 passes of the CTS. Similarly, the RWS reduced turfgrass quality from 9.5 to 6.5 after 36 passes." Concludes that "our initial assessment of these two machines indicates that the RWS resulted in more rapid and greater initial injury to the turfgrass canopy than the CTS." |
