| Abstract/Contents: | "In 1999 and 2000 University of Hohenheim carried out trials on two older areas which were set out as golf greens to test the influence of different sole and spike varieties on lawn quality. The following 6 variants were tested with 7,100 treads/sqm in the course of a year (Green 1) and 2,900 treads/sqm during a vegetation period (Green II): control (without entering), short metal spikes, long metal spikes, soft spikes, tread sole with soft spikes and tread soles. A record was kept of total impression, covering, gaps, Poa annua share, lawn colour, diseases, ball speed, thickness of thatch, soil compression and length of roots. Statistically significant differences were found only between the control and other variants. The control without entering the lawn showed better total results than the variants with entering, namely: better impression, lower gap share, lower Poa annua share, higher share of Agrostis stolonifera, darker lawn colour, more thatch, less soil compression. Between sole and spike variants no great differences were found. Short metal spikes showed a tendency to be slightly better with respect to amount of weeds and ball speed, and tread soles were slightly better in total impression and ball speed. Soft spikes and long metal spikes showed the fewest advantages." |
