| Abstract/Contents: | Overviews the potential importance of aeration of turfgrass, because otherwise the turfgrass can become "subject to rapid deterioration in a dry spell and prone to suffer from the many diseases to which particularly the finer and more valuable grasses may be subjected." Summarizes scarifying and shallow spiking for surface aeration. Describes scarifying equipment and procedures, such as deep piercing on the greens and on the fairway. Suggests that "piercing must not be regarded as a treatment for once or twice a year but a maintenance operation to be carried out as frequently as possible." Highlights that "spiking on the fairways will serve to assist greatly in producing drier surface conditions by permitting surface water to drain to the lower regions and thus find its way to the drainage system." |
