Abstract/Contents:"Comparisons were made between rooting depth and a series of soil properties important for root development in golf green profiles supporting a Festuca/Agrostis/Poa annua L. sward. Rootzones consisted of all combinations of the following factors: sand type (medium and medium-coarse), amendment material (topsoil, fensoil and peat) and sand:amendment mixing rate (90:10, 80:20, 70:30). There was a seasonal effect on root length with values averaging 128 mm in December 1999 and 207 mm in September 2000. Amendment type had significant effects on soil properties and root development. Rooting was shallowest in soil-amended rootzones, and these had the highest levels of penetration resistance and bulk density. Deepest rooting was associated with peat-amendend rootzones, which had the lowest bulk densities and highest volume of macropores. Mixing rates had significant effects on soil properties, and the response of penetration resistance to mixing rate depended on the type of amendment material. No significant effects of amendment mixing rate on root development were recorded. Sand type had significant effects on soil properties and root development: rooting was deeper in mixes containing medium-coarse sand, and these had lower penetration resistance and contained a greater volume of macropores."
