| Abstract/Contents: | Mentions research regarding rolling practices in 1995-2000, stating that "groundbreaking results from that study include rolling putting greens 3 times per week decreased several turfgrass diseases, insect pests, weeds, and localized dry spot along with increasing turfgrass rooting and green speed (maximizing customer satisfaction and/or playability)." Mentions that "this study will be the first to examine the interaction of the mechanical practice of rolling and its relationship on soil moisture and playability by utilizing Toro Turf Guard soil moisture sensors." Overviews what data collection will include, such as soil measurements, turfgrass rooting taken annually, bulk density (soil compaction) measurements, and pest infestations if and when applicable. |
