Abstract/Contents: | "Poorly draining sports fields and golf course fairways are often sand capped in order to resume play shortly after heavy rainfall events. Sand capping is the process of applying a layer of sand on top of an existing rootzone, and is designed to provide extra drainage and still maintain an acceptable rootzone for turf growth. The depth of a sand cap has a substantial influence on the performance of turfgrass, and there is currently no standardized method for establishing depth. Several authors have suggested procedures that predict the optimum sand capping depth; most of these rely on a soil moisture retention curve and the air entry point of the sand. Six procedures were evaluated using SMRC for three sand mixes. Two of the mixes fitted USGA recommendations for sand sizes and one did not. The six procedures provided similar recommended depths for capping the USGA specification sand." |
