| Abstract/Contents: | "The ability to predict moisture and organic matter contents as well as soil particle size distribution of a golf course turf media with the use of near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) was investigated. This study compared a new quick test, NIRS, with the use of wet chemical analysis for the evaluation of different soil characteristics. Samples were taken from greens and fairways of central Pennsylvania golf courses and from two turfgrass research centers at The Pennsylvania State University. Fresh samples were vertically scanned by 1.27-cm increments, from 400 to 2500 nm, with a near infrared monochromator. Moisture and organic matter contents were evaluated in the laboratory. The pipette method was used to determine the particle size distribution. Correlations of 84% and higher were obtained for the sand, silt, and clay values as well as for the moisture and organic matter contents. NIRS analysis of soil charateristics could become a convenient, rapid, and inexpensive alternative to wet chemical analysis for golf course management." |
