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." Reports : "Root mass in top 2-3 inches contributes to a decrease in air filled porosity. Presence of roots in the rootzone mixture is likely contributing to the shift in pore size distribution. Microenvironment location has a significant impact on root growth and turf quality. Field infiltration rates were lower than would be predicted by the lab analysis." This five-year study began in 1996. |

USGA Summary Points: | Root mass in top 2-3 inches contributes to a decrease in air filled porosity. Presence of roots in the rootzone mixture is likely contributing to the shift in pore size distribution. Microenvironment location has a significant impact on root growth and turf quality. Field infiltration rates were lower than would be predicted by the lab analysis. Potential problems in laboratory testing methods were identified. |
