| 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 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." Results indicate that "less intrusive cultivation practices (QT = solid, quad tines, 1/4 inch diameter; HJR = Hydro Ject in raised position, 1/4" diameter holes) in the summer substantially increased saturated hydraulic conductivity, and soil O2 level at 3.5 inches depth. All treatments not receiving summer cultivation by QT and HJR exhibited soil O2 less than 12 percent. Soil O2 were greater than 15 percent for QT and HJR treatments." This five-year study began in 1996. |
