| Abstract/Contents: | "The effects of slit tine aeration at weekly, fortnightly and four week intervals were studied and compared with areas receiving no aeration on two soccer pitches and one Rugby Union pitch. On two of the pitches there was strong evidence that ground cover in the second half of the playing season declined as aeration frequency increased. Aeration frequency had little influence on playing quality, but there was some evidence that water infiltration rates were decreased by frequent aeration. Possible strategies for pitch aeration are discussed." |
