Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study with the following objectives: "1. Evaluate grow-in procedure effects on putting green establishment and performance and develop criteria and recommendations for new putting green readiness for play. 2. Determine grow-in procedure impacts on rootzone physical and chemical properties. 3. Evaluate post grow-in cultural practice effects on putting green long-term performance. 4. Determine temporal and spatial (by depth) patterns of rhizosphere community development in golf greens during accelerated and controlled grow-in of selected rootzone mixes and during long-term maintenance." Reports the following results: "Soil-containing rootzone mix had higher surface hardness than the soil mix without soil...Fairy ring infestation was suppressed by the rootzone containing soil. Higher inputs initially increase cover during grow-in, but did not necessarily translate to earlier opening for play." This five-year study began in 1996. |

USGA Summary Points: | Turfgrass quality and color were unaffected by rootzone mix. Soil-containing rootzone mix had higher surface hardness than the soil mix without soil. Infiltration rates were not significantly different between rootzone mixes. Fairy ring infestation was suppressed by the rootzone containing soil. Higher inputs initially increase cover during grow-in, but did not necessarily translate to earlier opening for play. |
