| Abstract/Contents: | Reports a study using crumb rubber and compost during the construction of elementary school athletic fields in Edmonton. The study was done to test the resiliency and wear tolerance of the turf and the effect of crumb rubber on turf quality. Color and turf density showed positive effects from the compost and showed no phytotoxic effects in the turf. Wear tolerance was not yet rated in this study. |
