| Abstract/Contents: | Presents the results of a study investigating the effect of growth media on turfgrass color, density, quality, growth, surface hardness, and shear strength under low light, high traffic conditions. Growth media examined included two turf reinforcement systems (Ecomatā¢ and SportGrassā¢), wood mulch, compost, and washed sod. The effects of crumb rubber topdressing on turfgrass characteristics were also examined. Plots with crumb rubber topdressing exhibited greater turf density, quality and shear strength and lower surface hardness. Turf grown on turf reinforcement systems and washed sod had higher surface hardness and shear strength than turf grown on wood mulch or compost. Otherwise, all treatments provided acceptable turf quality. |
