| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study "to examine three different USGA-type root zone mixes, evaluating performance of composted biosolids in two of the mixes." Results indicate that "in both years that the trials were evaluated, root zone mix containing composted biosolids had a greater infiltration rate and lower water holding capacity than the root-zone mix with peat. Infiltration rate in all green mixes declined over time. Color and quality ratings were generally lower for the biosolids putting greens in the first year of establishment. Differences in color and quality were not as apparent in the second year. More nitrate and ammonium was mineralized from the greens mix that contained 15 percent compost, largely because that mix contained more organic matter in the mix. Putting green mixes prepared with composted biosolids such as used in this study show promise as an organic matter source as long as water management (especially during grow-in) reflects the lower water holding capacity of the material." |
