| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted "to determine if there were any differences in green speed or soil physical properties caused by different types of rollers." Details the methods and materials used in the study, stating that "there were five different rollers utilized in the study representing the main types of lightweight rollers on the market. Lightweight rollers included in the study were the True-Surface Vibratory Roller and four sidewinder units that included The Salsco and Smithco units each having two rollers, the DMI Speed Roller with three rollers, and the Tru-Turf Slice and Roll which has four rollers." REports that "the day following the rolling treatment all the lightweight rollers included in the study significantly increased green speed in both 2002 and 2003 compared to the check plot...all rollers included in the study increased green speed by over a foot on the day rolling was applied and retained over 6-inches of that increase the day after rolling once the thatch was brought under control." |
