The sports field consists of three layers (sub-base, base (substrate) and grass). The base is responsible for the radicular development of the grass, directly influencing the characteristics that provide quality, water drainage and lawn durability and allows athlete performance. The construction of ...

Tropical signalgrass (TSG) is one of the most problematic weeds found on golf courses, sports fields, and sod farms in south Florida. The recent ban of monosodium methane-arsonate (MSMA), an organic arsenical herbicide, from urban areas in Florida has left turfgrass managers searching for effective ...

Quartz sand is the preferred root zone medium for golf course greens construction. However, over time, accumula-tions of organic matter (OM) substantially change the root zone characteristics. In particular, permeability to air and water movement is reduced as OM accumulates. For this reason, golf...
