| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study to "determine the effectiveness of selected fall/spring-applied cultivation on enhancement of bentgrass root development, water infiltration, and soil oxygen status during spring and fall root development periods" on golf greens; and to "determine the effectiveness of selected summer-applied cultivation, topdressing and wetting agent practices on bentgrass root maintenance and viabililty, water infiltration, and soil oxygen status during the summer months when root decline occurs." Also states that "the best treatments from the above objectives will be combined to develop an integrated year-round program for maximum root development and maintenance during stress periods." Preliminary observations indicate that organic matter "controls soil physical properties more than the sand matrix...high SHC [saturated hydraulic conductivity] in the summer is essential to allow rapid water movement across the 0 to 3 cm zone that controls field SHC. High SHC also prevents standing water and excessively long periods of saturation and to enhance O₂ movement into the soil." |
