| Abstract/Contents: | "Two rootzone amendments were studied: [1] a seaweed extract (`Alginure') applied at rates of 0, 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150 and 175 g m-2 and; [2] a synthetic polymer material (`Erosel') applied at 0 and 10 g m-2. The treatments were combined factorially. The trial was carried out on a sand rootzone and received football-type artificial wear once established. Data were collected on grass ground cover, player traction, ball rebound resilience, hardness and water infiltration rate. Ground cover was determined both by point quadrats and using a reflectance ratio meter to determine the usefulness of the meter in such studies. The results showed that Alginure had positive benefits on ground cover and playing quality but did not have any adverse effects on water infiltration rate. The Erosel showed no significant effects at the rate used on any of the variables measured. Before wear ground cover and traction increased linearly with increasing rate of Alginure but ball rebound resilience and hardness decreased. As wear progressed the responses became more variable but significant effects persisted through the full duration of the playing season. It is recommended that Alginure or a similar product is used in the establishment of turf on sand rootzones for football." |
