Abstract/Contents: | "The relative effectiveness of three cultivation treatments (Vibramole, HydroJect, and VertiDrain) commonly used to condition or improve soil physical properties was investigated. The comparisons were made on a practice golf green approach constructed from a fine sandy loam which was prone to compaction. Each of the treatments and untreated control were replicated four times with plots set out in a randomized block design. Cultivation was carried out in the autumn of 1991 when soil moisture was near field capacity. Measurements of infiltration rate, saturated hydraulic conductivity down the profile and root mass were made to monitor changes in soil physical conditions over the following eight months. Infiltration rates measured shortly after cultivation were significantly increased by the HydroJect and VertiDrain treatments, but Vibramoling failed to improve the infiltration rate relative to the untreated control. When measured eight months later, the infiltration rates on the Hydroject and VertiDrain plots had declined markedly such that there was no significant difference between any of the treatments or untreated control. |
