Abstract/Contents:Discusses the benefits of topdressing sports turf, noting that it will "improve both agronomic and playing conditions." Addresses application timing and topdressing material selection. Concludes that "applications should revolve around periods of low play and good growing conditions. Materials should be chosen with an understanding of the particle size and its relation with the existing root zone."
