| Abstract/Contents: | SUMMARY: "For turfgrass for athletic activities, four of the ten rootzone systems discussed are recommended: A.) The rootzone composed of topsoil on topsoil with 1 percent surface slope and vertical drainage trenches at 20 foot intervals (System 2). B.) The thin layer rootzone (System 7a) permits the use of any subgrade. The drain trenches extend into the subgrade, the drain tubes are laid, then sand is spread. Since water storage in this system is limited, automatic surface irrigation is recommended. If the turf surface is breached, repairs should be made promptly. The system can be installed speedily and economically and allows fast water infiltration. C.) In low rainfall climates the conservation feature of the Purr-Wick System allows maximum water use efficiency. Surface irrigation of a flat field allows for controlled leaching of salts with minimum leachate. D.) For turfgrassed areas of heavy use and in climates where excess rainfall is a factor the patented Prescription Athletic Turf System offers maximum control of surface conditions. If it rains - turn on the pumps! When dry, the automatic soil sensing signals the need for additional moisture in the rootzone." |
