| Abstract/Contents: | "Quartz sand is the preferred root zone medium for golf course greens construction. However, over time, accumulations of organic matter (OM) substantially change the root zone characteristics. In particular, permeability to air and water movement is reduced as OM accumulates. For this reason, golf course superintendents in Florida verticut and core aerify greens during the summer to remove excess OM. This activity was monitored on three to five south Florida golf courses for 6-9 years. On average, OM in the thatch and underlying OM-stained layer decreased 23 and 12%, respectively, following verticutting and core aerification, resulting in an increase in root zone porosity of 247%, as gauged by measurements of saturated hydraulic conductivity." |
