| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study with the following objectives: "1. Determine the laboratory and field physical and microbiological properties of sand amended with organic and inorganic materials. 2. Determine creeping bentgrass morphological and physiological responses under low oxygen situations. 3. Evaluate soil physical and plant responses to forced-air injection and water evacuation." States that "none of several inorganic amendments reduced nitrate leaching, although Ecolite and Profile were very efficient at retarding ammonium leaching." Also, "inorganic amendments generally improved bentgrass establishment relative to unamended sand, but not to the same degree as peat moss." This five-year study began in 1996. |

| USGA Summary Points: | None of the inorganic amendments reduced nitrate leaching, although Ecolite and Profile were very efficient at retarding ammonium leaching. Soil water content was reduced by the presence of the gravel layer, but was unaffected by the gravel size. Air evacuation or injection had little or no effect on soil temperature. O2 and CO2 were unaffected by SubAir treatment; however, soil moisture throughout the profile was reduced by approximately 3-4%. Inorganic amendments generally improved bentgrass establishment relative to unamended sand, but not to the same degree as peat moss. Infiltration was uniformly high across the various rootzone mixtures, and was comparable to initial lab estimates for hydraulic conductivity. Soil microogranism populations increased rapidly during the first months following seeding. The concept of a sand rootzone being "sterile" and in need of microbial inoculation is suspect. |
