| Abstract/Contents: | "Sand-based rootzone medium in athletic fields presents agronomic challenges because of the low nutrient and water holding capacity. Sand-based athletic fields also has stability issues especially when the wrong sand is used or insufficient amount times to allow turfgrass root system to establish before the use. The playability of athletic fields with sand-based rootzones can be enhanced by the addition of organic (peat and compost) or inorganic (calcined clay, zeolite, fibers) amendments to the rootzone. However, when a limited time is available for turfgrass to establish, a temporary stabilization is needed. The objective of this study was to test if the biodegradable fiber can be used to temporarily stabilize the sports field rootzone without long-term negative effects. Peat, coconut coir and wheat straw, and an inorganic stabilizer StaLok Fiber (Stabilizer Solutions, Inc.) were tested in two experiments. The first experiment compared the above materials at one rate, and the second experiment tested the effect of different rates of straw. The results showed that wheat straw can stabilize sand rootzone temporarily and decompose in less than 6 months." |
