| Abstract/Contents: | Results of a study "measuring soil moisture to examine the dry-down of the U.S.G.A. greens at the Turfgrass Institute." The U.S.G.A. specifications engendered a sand root zone mix which stored available water efficiently; when "recharged" through rainfall or precipitation, it "may be expected to provide sufficient water for optimum growth for at least four days." |
