Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted by Arizona State University to determine what colorants would "provide attractive surfaces that meet or exceed golfer expectations typical in the Southwest on a daily basis." Details the methods and materials used in the study, stating that "a total of 11 colorants were applied weekly or every other week, depending on the appearance of the turf." Reports that "in the Southwest, one to two applications were not sufficient to consistently maintain an aesthetically attractive surface throughout the winter and into the spring." Concludes that "turf managers in the Southwest have been successful applying colorants with a traditional self-contained boom sprayer or walking spray boom." |
