| Abstract/Contents: | "The soil physical properties of Festuca/Agrostis turf receiving simulated wear and grown on sixteen different sand and sand-soil rootzones were examined over a period of four years. There was a marked overall decline in infiltration rates during the course of the trial with the mean for all mixes falling from 156 mm h-1 in June 1989 (before wear) to 19 mm h-1 in April 1992. After three years of wear infiltration rates ranged from a mean of 52 mm h-1 for pure sand materials to 4 mm h-1 for mixes containing approximately 13% silt plus clay. Infiltration rates were higher when coarser sands were used. The volume of larger pores (> 75um diameter) also increased with sand content and the coarseness of the sand. Depth was also important because of the effects of compaction and averaged over all the mixes there was a pore volume of 24%>75 um diameter in the 100-180 mm depth but only 15% >75 um diameter for the 10-90 mm depth. Sand content and type both strongly influenced air-filled pore space and moisture content, although the moisture content of the immediate surface was also affected by the sward and thatch layer. Only those mixes with>94% sand gave acceptable soil physical properties in terms of adequate infiltration rates and air-filled pore space. Significant problems of drought stress, at times when irrigation was reduced, only occurred on the pure sand rootzone based on a medium-coarse sand (0.25-1.0 mm diameter) with no amendment." |
