| Abstract/Contents: | Cultivation is an essential management practice on most turfgrass facilities. Cultivation alleviates soil compaction, improves water infiltration, aids in deep placement of fertilizer materials and facilitates exchange of soil and atmospheric gases. These benefits result in a deeper, more extensive root system. Cultivation interacts favorably with other cultural techniques and for the most part produces beneficial effect; although certain negative of detrimental results are recognized. Timing of cultivation is critical. The impact of temperature and moisture on growth response of permanent grasses as well as weeds and coordination with scheduled events and long range plans are some of the factors that must be taken into account when programming cultivation of turfgrass facilities. |
