| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the effects of root zone amendment on creeping bentgrass in Wisconsin. Explains the peat humus containing only 64% organic matter has better moisture retention properties because of its lower bulk density and that there is a strong relationship between the moisture retention properties of the greens and their quality. "In the selection of organic amendments for root zone mixes attention needs to focus more on the moisture retention capacity of the mix than saturated flow or infiltration rate." Also mentions that there is a relationship between root zone mix amendment and nutrient retention. While all root zone mixes require approximately the same amount of fertilizer P to raise soil test P by one unit, there are major differences regarding optimum soil test P level for turfgrass. Results of research suggest that "the USGA recommendation that the organic amendment in root zone mixes contain at least 85% organic matter should be modified, at least for putting greens in northern regions of the country. |
