Turf Management: Topdressing techniques

 


Golf culture plays an important role in maintaining the turf which is ideal for playing the golf game. Topdressing is one of the techniques which is used to keep that turf green and ideal.

courses that are not topdressed on a frequent time have low turf quality and uneven surface which can result in a frustrating play.

The primary objective of topdressing is to weaken the layer of thatch below the surface of the turf.

Topdressing helps to :

  • Improve putting quality.
  • Furnish smooth surface
  • Enhance drainage and root aeration
  • Enable good plant growth
  • Stop layering in the soil profile.

Because healthy turf has a tendency to hold water and pollutants, ensuring that it is adequately adapted, healthy, dense, and has adequate infiltration preserves water quality. We use cultural practises to conserve and protect water quality must be developed to maintain high turf shoot density. A dense turf lowers runoff and the detrimental effects of water and pollutant transportation off-site. A dense lawn, on the other hand, might retain surface organic matter, limiting penetration and increasing runoff. 1.  SLOPE AND SITE : While choosing a site to construct or develop or preparing for development on a current course, consider the totality of the site before the start. 2. MOWING:  Mowing routines affect turf texture, density, root growth, color, and water toleration. Improper mowing can result in low density &...
