Abstract/Contents: | "A trial area was established at a racetrack in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to examine the effects of four construction methods and six grass types on the quality of turf for horse racing. A non-seeded Bermudagrass (Cynodon sp.) and Zoysia japonica were the most effective grasses in terms of ground cover, colour, visual appearance and resistance to damage by horse racing. However, recovery on the Z. japonica was slower. The sand dominated rootzones had considerably better drainage performance than the sandy loam topsoil and gave a good surface for racing when the non-seeded Cynodon sp. and Z. japonica were used. However, on the sand constructions, where seeded Cynodon grasses and Axonopus compressus and A. affinis were established, the surface was readily kicked out by horses." |
