Abstract/Contents: | Overviews thatch management on cool season pitches, "in preparation for summer club lacrosse season." Describes the aeration techniques, as well as the first sweeping of cores from the field. Summarizes the potential positive consequences of aerating, such as how "removing the column of soil from the profile makes a direct, open avenue for gas exchange in the soil." Notes that the "flush of air into the rootzone" brought "an immediate plant response with green, vibrant growth and health." |
