Course: Turfgrass Management, Advanced (18054-IV) > Section: Managing Natural and Synthetic Turfgrass Areas

Application may include

- turfgrass selection
- aeration practices (e.g., core, deep-tine, linear aeration, Air2G2)
- fertilization
- irrigation
- cultivation
- overseeding
- topdressing
- fraze mowing
- verticutting/dethatching
- cultivation (e.g., slicing, core aerification, deep-tine aerification, deep drill aerification, water injection cultivation, vertical mowing, deep vertical mowing, spiking)
- slit seeding, sprigging, sodding
- rolling/cultipacking.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What is the most effective application of topdressing?
- When should cultural turfgrass management practices be applied? How often?
- How does aeration help to reduce soil compaction?
- How does repeated aeration improve soil structure, oxygen, and water infiltration?
- How can improper seedbed preparation or preparation under adverse weather or soil moisture conditions result in complete seeding failure?
