| Abstract/Contents: | "The close mowing demanded by several of the games played on sports turf has an adverse effect on rooting depth, but extreme shallowness of rooting can also be induced by inadequate turfgrass and rootzone maintenance procedures. Sports turf with extremely shallow roots is intolerant of wear and ultra-sensitive to changes in water and nutrient status in the rootzone..." Includes a table that shows the effect of a very fine sand topdressing in a sequence of medium sand topdressings. Also includes a table that illustrates the effect of high levels of nitrogen on root distribution. "Only some of the factors affecting one aspect of turfgrass quality have been described and more research is needed to expand our knowledge of the interrelationships between maintenance practices and turf quality." |
