Abstract/Contents: | Discusses rootzone drainage, stating that "poor internal drainage in a putting green rootzone is a harbinger of bad things to come." Discusses the adverse effects of rootzones holding too much water, including poor root growth, black layer, and severe decline during periods of high temperatures. Describes how to test the drainage of turf. States that "a good balance of air- and water-filled pores is a major contributor to providing turfgrass access to adequate levels of air and water." |
