Engineering the Best Soils for Turfgrass Applications
Turfgrass systems require
optimum soils for best performance. Although there are guidelines for developing turfgrass soils, many high performance turfgrass
areas do not have soil mix specifications that indicate appropriate characteristics or suitability for a given project. Click here to read how scientists are investigating soil
properties, appropriate compaction, plant responses and how to construct optimum soils. This research will help develop models
for contractors and architects to use to determine the correct soil components and amounts to mix when constructing soils
for specific projects.
