| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study with the following objectives: "1. Examine the effects of rootzone composition and putting green construction method on water drainage and redistribution within the profile. 2. Examine the effects of rootzone composition, soil depth and degree of water perching on turf water use and irrigation management. 3. Examine long-term changes in physical, biochemical and microbiological properties of the rootzone; and relate these changes to the long-term hydrologic behavior of modern putting green designs." Results reveal that "at 0 percent slope under the high rainfall rate conditions, the low permeability USGA rootzone without the gravel had very low drainage rates compared to all other experimental greens," and that "at 4 percent slope under the high rainfall-rate conditions, both USGA greens exhibited high and nearly equivalent drainage rates." States that "results for the low rainfall rate treatment were quite similar to that for the high rainfall rate." Also, "the low permeability USGA rootzone without the gravel layer at 0 percent slope maintained high soil moisture throughout the period of this study." This five-year study began in 1996. |
