Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the potential need for a uniform application of stress on a turf plot when conducting research, focusing on traffic. Defines compaction and wear, and overviews traffic simulator technology. Suggests that "the most popular traffic simulator in the US [United States] is the 'Brinkman,' developed at UC [University of California] Riverside." Summarizes the development of 'The Cady,' which may provide more vertical downward pressure than the Brinkman. Mentions equipment used in the United Kingdom, as well as the 'Slapper,' developed by Rutgers University. Briefly overviews the testing procedures utilized for the National Turfgrass Evaluation Program. |
