| Abstract/Contents: | "The physical and chemical properties of a rootzone are particularly important factors with respect to the quality of golf greens. A long term trial, subjected to a programme of wear, was conducted to assess selected properties of a number of sand-dominated rootzones to identify construction materials most suitable for U.K. conditions. Eighteen rootzones were examined which consisted of every possible combination of two sand types (medium and medium-coarse), three amendments (sandy loam topsoil, fensoil and peat) and three mixing ratios of sand: amendment (90:10, 80:20 and 70:30). Following an extensive laboratory physical characterisation, selected physical and chemical properties were measured over a four year period. Infiltration rates decreased from between 210-685 mm hr⁻¹ in 1996 to 42-114 mm hr⁻¹ in 1999. By contrast, organic matter contents increased during the same period ranging from 0.4-2.5% in 1996 to 7.9-12.2% in 1999 for the upper 20 mm. Volumetric water content was significantly greater in medium sand rootzones, fensoil amended rootzones and rootzones mixed at the 70:30 ratio." |
