| Abstract/Contents: | "The sward characteristics of Festuca/Agrostis turf grown on eighteen different golf green rootzones were examined over a four year period of simulated wear. The rootzones 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). In general, establishment was significantly greater in terms of ground cover in rootzones containing medium sand, in soil amended rootzones and rootzones mixed at the 70:30 ratio. The highest visual appraisal scores were associated with medium sand rootzones compared with medium-coarse sand rootzones and the lowest scores recorded in the peat amended rootzones, mixing ratio was generally not significant. The rootzone type had an important effect on species composition although the nature of the trends varied between mixes over the four year monitoring period. In June 1996 Agrostis accounted for ca. 33% of total live ground cover and by September 1998 it had reached ca. 84%. By contrast the Festuca population in June 1996 was ca. 65% of the total live ground cover declining to ca. 13% by September 1998. The ground cover of the two sown species decreased during the trial which corresponded with a significant increase in Poa annua L., which increased from ca. 3 to 14% between 1998 and 1999." |
