Abstract/Contents: | Reports on research conducted jointly by the United States Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS) and the National Turfgrass Research Initiative to construct optimal soils for athletic fields and lawns. Explains that soils were assessed through chemical analysis, growth chamber studies, and field tests, adding that compaction and drainage were key focuses of the study. Concludes that "this research should lead to more successful use of reclaimed lands for sports fields, parks and golf courses." |
