Abstract/Contents:"The soil in which any plant grows has a significant impact on its growth and performance. Some of the early scientific pioneers of turf research such as Engel, Watson, and Daniel studied soil related problems. Several years later Ferguson and co-workers studied greens construction techniques and published the USGA Green Section specifications for greens. After a short time, Daniel and his students conducted studies on building greens and sports fields with sands. It was some time before the greens construction topic again became a hot topic for study due to new interest in soil amendments and to research funded by the USGA Green Section Research Committee. With the rapid growth in new golf courses and the current demand for highest quality putting green surfaces, soil conditions continue to be a major factor in the success of putting greens. As a result, cultivation and topdressing have received significant attention for the past 15 years. Drainage and irrigation have also been studied in greater detail because these practices are so important in dealing with soil problems. Of equal importance in soil management are chemical and biological aspects. This presentation will cover some of the early research, but will then address more recent studies on cultivation, topdressing, and drainage conducted at Michigan State University and other institutions."
