| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses a study with three objectives: "1. Compare the efficiency of 3 soil amendments in alleviating soil compaction and improving turfgrass wear tolerance on athletic sand fields. 2. Evaluate the effect of crumb rubber topdressings on turf wear and soil condition. 3. Assess playing quality across a playing field on the basis of surface characteristics, and player evaluation." Results of the study indicate that "areas treated with crumb rubber showed significantly lower surface hardness readings." Also reports that "players' assessment for overall quality of the field...has been shown to be influenced by the amount of ground cover present." |
