| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the benefits of topdressing on sports fields, where "an uneven playing field can quickly lead to a serious - even career-ending injury." Explains that the reasons to topdress include evening out of "lumps and low spots," reducing excessive thatch which can cause "a spongy, boggy-feeling field," and, "when used in conjunction with aerification," the remedying of soil compaction. Outlines which materials should be used when topdressing. Says that "to be effective, topdressings must be applied accurately and uniformly, necessitating the use of good equipment." Lists several brands of topdressers used by various turf managers around the country. |
