| Abstract/Contents: | "A trial was established in late April 1990 with the objective of comparing different methods of establishment of golf greens on a sand-based rootzone and their effects on subsequent performance. The methods included grades of mature sod, washed sod, juvenile sod grown on a soil-less medium and seed sown at two rates (35 and 100 g m-2). Data were collected before, during and after the imposition of artificial wear treatments on grass ground cover, annual bluegrass ingress, green speed, hardness and water infiltration rate. Before wear all treatments established satisfactorily although differences in cover and playing quality were evident. Infiltration rates were all >200 mm h-1. Once artificial wear treatments started, however, massive reductions in water infiltration rates were observed, especially in the case of grades of mature sod falling to as low as 12 mm h-1 in one case. Sod washing was of some benefit in retaining permeability but rates fell to 50-70 mm h-1. Juvenile sod and seeded treatments all retained water infiltration rates >100 mm h-1 even after wear. Infiltration rates were negatively correlated with the thickness of the surface layer of mineral/organic matter imported along with the sod and with organic matter content of the surface layer, and together these are thought to be responsible for the reductions seen in permeability. The implications of these findings for golf green construction on sandy media are discussed." |
