Abstract/Contents: | Briefly describes black layer, a soil problem in sand-based golf greens. Suggests identifying the "management practices and chemical products which encourage" black layer. Also cautions that "it is not always possible to detect problematic soil conditions with the naked eye." Suggests measuring the responses of soil bacterial communities. Briefly describes a 1995/1996 study performed to detect black layer by an analysis of bacterial phospholipid fatty acids (PLFA or biomarkers). States that the results from the study were compared to the management practices to identify the beneficial management practices. |
