| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study with the following objectives: "1. Determine the effectiveness of selected fall/spring applied cultivation on enhancement of bentgrass root development, water infiltration, and soil exygen [oxygen] status during spring and fall root development periods. 2. Determine the effectiveness of selected summer-applied cultivation, topdressing and wetting agent practices on bentgrass root maintenance and viability, water infiltration, and soil oxygen status during the summer months when root decline occurs. 3. 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." Reports that "cultivation programs involving less intrusive cultivation practices (solid quad-tines and HydroJect) averaged 16% oxygen content versus 12% for other treatments." Also states that "the Graden verticutter is not a substitute for core aeration," and that "the highest SHC [saturated hydraulic conductivity] and soil O2 content values were observed under the more intensive cultivation treatments." This five-year study began in 1996. |

| USGA Summary Points: | Cultivation programs involving less intrusive cultivation practices (solid quadtines and HydroJect) averaged 16% oxygen content versus 12% for other treatments. (Oxygen contents near 10% are severe oxygen stress to the turf). The Graden verticutter is not a substitute for core aeration. The highest SHC and soil O2 content values were observed under the more intensive cultivation treatments. |
