| Abstract/Contents: | "Cultural practices influence to a large extent conditions which affect the growth and vigor of grass plants and hence the quality of the turf product. In common with most plants, grass requires, among other things, a suitable substratum in which the roots may obtain anchorage and find a reserve of plant food, air, and moisture with which to carry on the life processes. The physical condition of the soil affects the development of roots and tops as do the cultural practices." Soil needs: a supply of atmospheric oxygen and it must adhere to certain characteristics. Plastic and cohesive soils are troublesome. Putting green soils should be checked for plasticity and cohesion. |
