| Abstract/Contents: | "The effect of four sand dressing rates, ranging from 0 to 16 kg m-2 per year, was examined for five construction types used for winter games pitches. The playing quality of a Lolium perenne L. sward was monitored during two seasons of simulated wear. The higher sand application rates increased the firmness of the surface in wet weather and for the pipe drained and slit drained construction in particular, ball rebound also increased as more sand top dressing was added. In dry conditons at the end of the playing season, increased sand rate reduced hardness on constructions where soil would otherwise dominate the surface layer. Before wear started, traction values were slightly lower at the higher sand rates but in wet conditions, potential grip was improved by increased sand on the pipe drained ansd slit drained constructions. On the basis of the playing quality results and a previous analysis of the effects on soil physical properties and ground cover, general recommendations are given on sand top dressing programmes for different pitch types." |
