| Abstract/Contents: | Study initiated in spring of 1986 on a 1-year-old stand of Midnight Kentucky bluegrass to investigate the effects of coring and grooving on thatch prevention and thatch removal. The turfgrass is maintained at a 2 in moving height with clippings returned to the soil. the area is fertilized with 4 lb nitrogen (N)/1000 ft2/growing season using sulfur coated urea. Coring and grooving treatments were either in May, September; May and September; or May, July and September. Thatch depth was measured on May 23, 1987, and May 15, 1988. Mesurements were taken by pulling a 6 in diameter core from each plot. The thatch was compressed using a 2 kg weight and the depth was measured in mm. Visual quality ratings were made on September 20, 1988, and shoot density was measured on June 15, 1988. Results are provided in a table. Regardless of the time of treatment, coring and grooving significantly reduced thatch accumulation but did not significantly reduce shoot density. Coring did not significantly reduce visual quality where as the number of grooving applications and visual quality were inversely related. |
