| Abstract/Contents: | "Continuous use and excessive traffic of golf putting greens can lead to surface compaction which reduces infiltration rates, inhibits rooting, and affects playability. Cultural practices including core aerification are commonly used to improve soil physical conditions. However, core aerification is disruptive to the playing surface and results in temporary loss of revenue. Periodically, new aerification technologies emerge and offer a less invasive approach to managing soil physical conditions of putting greens. These technologies should be evaluated through scientific research to verify their efficacy of impact and longevity of impact. The objective of this study was to quantify the effects of Air2G2, DryJect, and hollow tine aerification on soil physical properties of putting greens over time. A field study was conducted on a mature Penncross creeping bentgrass [Agrostis stoloniferous L.] sand-based green at the Oklahoma State University Turfgrass Research Center in Stillwater, OK. The treatments were arranged as a randomized complete block split plot design with four replications of each treatments. Aerification events included single applications of Air2G2, DryJect, and hollow tine aerification. The fall treatments were applied on October 2017 and spring treatments were applied on March 2018. The parameters evaluated included infiltration rate using a double-ring infiltrometer, volumetric water content of the upper 7.6 cm, ball roll distance, surface firmness, bulk density, rooting mass, and soil organic matter content. The results from fall and spring application will be discussed." |
