Abstract/Contents:"Seven cultivation programs were evaluated in a field study for influence on shoot, root, and water relationships of Cynodon dactylon 'Arizona Common' grown on a compacted sandy clay loam with high soil strength and acid subsoil. Verti-Drain (VD) cultivation, especially in conjuction with core aeration (CA), often decreased root length density (RLD) in late summer at 20 to 60 cm depth; but, water relations improved as roots could extract 25 to 53% more moisture from this zone. Root efficiency (mm water uptake per cm root) in the zone increased by 29 to 242%, especially for VD + CA. Turf Conditioner (TC) vibrating blade action with or without amendment (gypsum, lime) injection had little effect on RLD and occasionally enhanced root efficiency. Shoot responses to the soil physical and chemical alterations from cultivation programs were neither great in duration or magnitude. Some periodic improvement in shoot aspects were noted for VD cultivation and TC + gypsum injection."
