| Abstract/Contents: | Describes a study conducted to compare four core aerators and one vertical mower in their capabilities to remove excessive thatch from a bluegrass stand. The study was initiated on an area that contained between 1 and 1 1/2 inches of thatch. The treatment included three levels of intensity of application: no passes, one pass, and two passes. Cultivation was done on September 5, 1986. There were no differences when comparing thatch removal by machine; however, there was a trend that the Ryan Ren-O-Thin and Classen Turf Plugger demonstrated greater thatch removal. Indicates 1 or 2 passes with any of the tested machines provided accelerated deterioration of the thatch layer. |
