| Abstract/Contents: | "Inorganic amendments have been used to modify the entire root-zone depth during construction of sand based greens, but their use as topdressing material has not been evaluated. Calcined clay is a general term that refers to a heat treated clay that is crushed, dried, and sized to a meet the particular needs of an industry. All calcined clays are not equal. Those used for soil amendments should be hard and resistant to breakdown and screened to an appropriate size. A newer class of products, porous ceramic clays, differ from calcined clays mineralogically by having the characteristics of a true ceramic with permanent collapse of internal lattice layers. Calcined clays have been shown to increase porosity, infiltration, and water holding capacity, but decrease available water. A sand based putting green was top dressed with Profileā¢ porous ceramic clay (PPCC) to determine the effect on turf quality, water infiltration, and incidence of dry spot. Compared with sand/peat topdressing, PPCC substantially reduced the incidence of dry spot and facilitated turf recovery. It was suggested that reduced surface and soil temperatures associated with PPCC may be due to an effect from higher water holding and greater specific heat capacity. In comparison with sand/peat topdressing PPCC topdressing did not reduce growth or water infiltration." |
