| Abstract/Contents: | "Relationships between laboratory measurements of soil physical properties and field values were examined for 16 rootzone materials for soccer pitches, ranging in sand content from 78% to 100%. For laboratory measurements of saturated hydraulic conductivity and field infiltration rate, the correlation between the two variables was high (r >0.95) reflecting the wide range of materials in the study. Similarly for air-filled porosity and water retention there was reasonable agreement between laboratory and field values but in general, correlations for total porosity, hardness and soil strength were poor. There was no obvious advantage in modifying the current laboratory compaction procedure based on a packing energy of 18.9 kJ m-2 applied after the rootzone material had been equilibrated at a moisture potential of -4 kPa, as changes in packing energy or initial moisture content did not increase the level of agreement between laboratory and field values. For a packing energy of 18.9 kJ m-2 at a moisture potential of -4 kPa, it is suggested that laboratory mixtures intended for intensively used soccer pitches should have a hydraulic conductivity of at least 100 mm h-1, an air-filled porosity (at a -4 kPa water potential) of at least 10% and a gravimetric moisture content in the range 10-18%." |
