| Abstract/Contents: | Soil compaction and cultivation are discussed concerning golf course greens, tees and fairways, football and soccer fields, and some lawn turfs. Discusses how soil gets compacted, and how that affects all aspects of the soil. Benefits of cultivation include; improved water infiltration, enhanced penetration of fertilizer and lime into the soil, improved wetting of dry soils and faster drying of wet soils, improved soil aeration, allows toxic gasses to escape from the soil, partial destruction of undesirable soil layers and thatch, facilitates replacement of poor soil with a more suitable growing medium through topdressing, deeper and more extensive rooting of the turf, and improved shoot growth and density. Also discusses the disadvantages of cultivation, and types of cultivation available. |
