| Abstract/Contents: | A study on Vexar, an ultraviolet inhibited plastic mesh, examines root zone strengthening on athletic fields. Vexar was applied as 1/4'' mesh laid 4'' deep and sprigged with Cynodon and Tifway. Observations since installment have showed that turf was not torn out or severely damaged where protected by plastic netting, the 1/4'' mesh size preventing root zone penetration by shoe cleats while at the same time not adversely affecting playing conditions. The turf therefore was able to recover quickly and replacing of turf in worn areas has been eliminated. Maintenance, including aerifying and mowing operations, was the same of the net reinforced areas as for untreated turf. |
