| Abstract/Contents: | "Public interest in recycling (mulching) mowers has increased considerably in the past few years. Conventional rotary mowers typically are used with a bag attachment to catch turfgrass clippings. Clippings are often removed, despite the fact that their removal is time consuming and results in nutrient loss, because they can be unsightly and are feared to contribute to disease and thatch buildup. Nevertheless, the passage of AB 939 in California and increased yard waste and grass clippings dumping fees in many other states have prompted several mowing equipment manufacturers to renew recycling mower production. These mowers have an enclosed housing wherein clippings are chopped to fine debris before discharge beneath the mower. By reducing the size of clippings left behind, a recycling mower facilitates their disappearance into the turf canopy and their speedy decomposition, thereby addressing concerns about both appearance and thatch...The following study focused on the effect of recycled clippings on weed invasion, turf quality and thatch accumulation. It also measured biomass and nitrogen removed using a non-recycling (bag) mower." |
