USGA Summary Points: | Soil infiltration was not affected in the first two years after grow-in, but decreased significantly in the third year after grow-in and continues to decrease as the green matures. As a green matures, it appears that the depth of organic matter accumulation increased over time. Greens that are more than four years have a visible organic matter accumulation three to four times thicker than a green that is less than two years old. Infiltration of a rootzone mix containing soil, however, does not decrease more, or at a faster rate, than a rootzone mix which does not contain soil. Characterization of three rootzone mixes at Arbor Links Golf Course near Nebraska City, in southeast Nebraska, is new to the project this year. Results to date indicate that the California single-tier green is harder than the USGA two-tier profile greens. |
