| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses wear tolerance and compaction on high-use turfgrass sites, such as sports fields and golf courses. Compares various turfgrass species for wear and compaction stress tolerance. Also discusses potential methods to increase traffic stress tolerance, including a higher mowing height, soil cultivation, and traffic control. Lists the relative traffic stress tolerance for several turfgrass species, including bermudagrass, zoysiagrass, tall fescue, perennial ryegrass, Kentucky bluegrass, creeping bentgrass, hard fescue, creeping red fescue, Chewings fescue, annual bluegrass, and rough bluegrass. |
