Rootzones provides a comprehensive understanding of how different factors interact within a sports turf rootzone, and the impact these have on turf growth, particularly where there are problems with drainage and compaction.
It looks at how to evaluate your turf area’s rootzone and the options for modifying or renovating the rootzone depending on the problem. Partial and full reconstruction options, plus sports turf reinforcing and turf replacement systems are also covered.
This course builds on understandings of turf growth and water movement from the L3 programme and soils from L4.
