Abstract/Contents: | Discusses an experiment designed to examine "the effects of different rootzone materials (sand, a sand peat mix, and a sand soil mix) and different rootzone depths on the water movement in sloping and flat areas on a golf green." "These preliminary results support the hypothesis that greater rootzone depths at the lower ends of sloping greens would result in significanly lower soil moisture in the top 20 cm, and high areas with shallower rootzone mixes would result in higher soil moisture in the upper 20 cm compares to areas with an uniform 30 cm (12") deep rootzone mix." |
