Abstract/Contents:The following field and laboratory tests were carried out to assess the condition of 6 football pitches: pitch gradient; susceptibility to soil water saturation; earthworm activity; the extent of shading; sward density; sward composition (including weeds); the thickness and depth of roots; soil profiles to 60 cm depth; soil particle size and pore volume; soil composition (organic and inorganic); and soil pH. The test results greatly exceeded the range of what is feasible in renovation work. Many of the tests were very costly. The information could be obtained more simply and tests should be made when the soil is saturated and before the spring recovery of the grass sward is complete. A checklist of appropriate tests is given.
