| Abstract/Contents: | "A lawn tennis trial to test the performance of 3 different grass mixtures subjected to differing levels of shade (zero shade, 1 day of shade per week, 2 days of shade per week and 4 days of shade per week) was sown in the STRI trial grounds in Bingley on 6 September 1995. The trial was subjected to abrasive tennis type wear between 23 June and 9 July 1997. During this period marked effects of seed mixture and shade on grass durability were demonstrated. Increased levels of shade were shown to have a large negative effect on live grass cover and as a consequence a similar effect on surface durability. Live grass cover declined more rapidly per unit amount of of wear applied as the intensity of shade increased. The effects of the different grass and shade treatments on root density at two depths (40 mm and 80 mm) were also assessed at the end of the study. These measurements demonstrated an effect of shade but no significant effect of grass mixture. For the shade treatments root density was markedly lower at both depths in the 4 day shade treatment than found for the other treatments. It is concluded that improvements can be made to shade affected lawn tennis courts by using better grasses, even though the wear tolerance of better grasses will be severely reduced by the shade. It is also concluded that increasing light levels in shaded areas of long established lawn tennis courts should increase wear tolerance irrespective of the grass that is used." |
