USGA Summary Points:Microbial biomass was not affected by rootzone mix or grow-in procedure on plots established in 1997. Microbial biomass increased over 200% from Spring to Fall and decreased 40-60% as sampling depth increased. There appears to be a trend toward a greater change in microbial biomass over time for the soil-less than the soil-containing rootzone mix. Water infiltration measurements from treatments established in 1997, 1998 or 1999 did not differ in establishment or subsequent years until approximately three years after grow-in. At this point, it appears that the soil containing greens Ksat is significantly lower than the corresponding soil-less greens. Partitioned dry matter estimates will be made to determine organic matter dynamics of this observed response. Establishment results were similar in greens established in all years. For four consecutive years it was found that higher inputs will initially increase cover during grow-in. This increase may not translate earlier opening for play if environment stress conditions occur that result in damage to lush, immature turf.
