Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted by the Australian Golf Course Superintendents Association (AGCSA) "to investigate the effect of wear and compaction of different turfgrasses, primarily for sports field use." Details the methods and materials used in the study, stating that "turf was established in 12 mini-lysimeters" and that daily water loss from the lysimeters was compared to readings from an atmometer. Reports that "Poa trivialis had significantly higher ET (evapotranspiration) rates compared to couch on its own" and that "the greatest water use during the trial period was from perennial ryegrass." Concludes that "a winter active grass wil result in higher ET rates from a turf surface over winter" and that this "could be expected to result in firmer surfaces that are less susceptible to disruption." |
