| 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 root zone physical and chemical properties. 3. Evaluate post grow-in cultural practice effects on putting green long-term performance." States that "six sand sizes, conforming to and finer than USGA guidelines, were amended with sphagnum peat at 9:1 volume ratio, a seventh sand was used unamended." Results indicate that "plots in the lower (poor air circulation) site had better turf quality than the upper site in May in June. This response was reversed in August and September." Also, "quality data indicated that the two finest sands in the sand-size distribution study had the best performance during 1999. These finer sands do not conform to the size guidelines of the USGA Green Section." Also notes that "reduced root zone depth generally improved turf perfomance," and that "root zones amended with 20%-soil and 10%-Profile in the lower site had the poorest turf performance bu the end of the 1999 season." This five-year study began in 1996. |
