Abstract/Contents:"The SportGrass® system is a synthetically reinforced layer of grass that is grown on a sand-based rootzone...Most natural grass systems tend to become elevated above the surface where the grass was first established...Stabilizing materials that were once near the surface can be lowered in the profile as organic and mineral material accumulates above the synthetic stabilizer. We are interested in finding out if this 'burying' of the stabilizer material reduces their effectiveness. We also want to know if current management practices can be used to prevent accumulation of thatch above the synthetic stabilizer..." Two studies were established to evaluate several features associated with the Sportgrass® system, including: mat management; choice of species used (Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, or blends of them); surface hardness; traction and trafficability; and turf quality, color and percent living ground cover. Presents data results in several tables.
