| Abstract/Contents: | "A study is underway at the MU [University of Missouri-Columbia] Turfgrass Research Center to compare three amendments and three systems of greens construction: USGA, SoāilAireā¢ and California." Treatments consisted of a USGA sand/peat rootzone, an unamended California specification rootzone, and two SoāilAireā¢ rootzones, one amended with Profileā¢ porous ceramic and one amended with ZeoProā¢ zeolite. "Contrary to expectations, the 100% sand treatment displayed the best germination and early fill-in at approximately two weeks after seeding...Approximately nine weeks after seeding (12/2/98) percent cover was not different among treatments, but color was significantly greater for the ZeoPro-amended plots...Root mass (4/27/99) to a four inch depth was greatest for the 100% sand plots, with ZeoPro and peat close seconds...By early summer (6/14/99), greater color and full cover...gave the ZeoPro plots greater overall quality...The Profile-amended plots possessed the highest percent organic matter. The ZeoPro and Profile treatments had more available P, Ca, Mg, and K. These preliminary results indicate that substituting Profile or ZeoPro for peat may allow for the maintenance of high quality bentgrass greens with less fertilizer inputs." |
