This study was initiated to investigate soil chemical properties under different soil systems. Data such as soil acidity(pH), electrical conductivity(EC), organic matter content(OMC), and cation exchange capacity(CEC) were analyzed with samples from multi-layer, USGA, and mono-layer systems. N, P, K and micronutrients were also measured. Multi-layer system was built up to 60-cm depth with rootzone layer, intermediate layer and two drainage layers. USGA system 45 centimeters deep was constructed with rootzone layer, intermediate layer and drainage layer. Mono-layer system, however, was made only with a 30-cm rootzone layer. Differences were observed in soil pH, EC, OMC, CEC and micronutrients. Soil pH was acceptable for turfgrass growth a year after establishment, being 5.5 to 6.5 in the study. Differences were greatly observed for EC among soil systems. Values of EC for multi-layer, USGA, and mono-layer systems were 39.79, 31.26 and 103.54 uS/em, respectively. The increase rate was approximately 4 to 8 times greater with mono-layer system than those with other two systems. Therefore, it was necessary to avoid micronutrient deficiency such as Fe, Mn etc. through an effective management program in mono-layer system because of its faster potential feasibility of salt accumulation. The greatest OMC was associated with USGA system, being 0.97% which was 11% over that of the other systems. Slight differences were observed for CEC among them. Mono-layer system produced 1.45 me/100g, 10.3% and 8.9% lower in CEC than those of multi-layer and USGA system, respectively. Micronutrients such as Fe, Zn, and Mn etc. were below the level required for turf growth, regardless of soil systems. It was considered that one year after turf establishment was not enough to build up micronutrients in sand-based soil systems to the normal level for a turf growth. These results demonstrate that intensive management program including grow-in concept fertilization should be integrated into sand-based soil systems, even after a year in establishment. Regular nutrient monitoring by soil analyses is a strong necessity to decide the kinds and amount of fertilizer. Also, strategic management program must be selectively employed according to sports turf soil systems.

Research was initiated to investigate turf performance under USGA soil system. USGA system 45 centimeters deep was built with rootzone layer, intermediate layer, and drainage layer. Six turfgrass entries were comprised of 3 blends and 3 mixtures from cool-season grasses (CSG). Turfgrass color and quality ratings were best in spring and fall, especially early May to early July and late August to early November. Kentucky bluegrass (KB) consistently produced the greatest performance, while perennial ryegrass (PR) the poorest. Intermediate turf performance between KB and PR was observed with tall fescue (TF). Among CSG mixtures it increased with KB but decreased with PR. There were considerable variations in summer turf Performance. No summer drought injury was found in KB and TF. However, PR showed poor performance through summer as compared with others. Among mixtures, it decreased with PR. It was suggested that PR mix in less than $20\%$ in the mixtures to have an acceptable quality in summer. Cultural intensity also affected it. With lowering mowing height, KB of rhizomatous-type in growth habit kept good quality, while PR and TF with bunch-type in growth habit poor quality. Mowing quality was greatly different among CSG. KB produced clean-cut surface, but PR unclean one. If had an intermediate mowing quality between KB and PR. A great difference in green color retention was observed among CSG. The longest CSG was PR that kept green for 339 days, while the shortest one TF for 267 days. KB continued to keep green for 290 days. The mixtures kept green in color for 292 to 315 days, depending on turfgrass mixing intensity. The greater the PR in content, the longer the green color duration. These results demonstrate that KB was the best and PR the worst among CSG grown in USGA system under a domestic climate, in regards of turf quality, color, mowing quality, summer turf performance and green color duration. KB and TF are most adequate for high-maintenance and low-maintenance area, respectively. In case of mixtures for high-quality turf, it was desirable to use KB-based mixture with PR of below $20\%$ in seeding rate.

본 연구는 다층구조의 USGA 지반 및 단층구조의 약식지반에서 난지형 및 한지형 잔디의 대취축적 차이를 평가하고자 시작되었다. USGA 지반은 전체 45cm 깊이로 이루어진 구조로 식재층 30cm, 중간층 5cm, 배수층 10cm로 조성하였고, 약식지반은 전체가 30cm 깊이로 식재층으로만 조성된 지반이다. 공시 초종은 9종류(난지형 3, 한지형 6)의 처리구를 각 지반에 사용하였으며, 시험구 배치는 9종류의 처리구를 난괴법 3반복으로 배치하였다. 통계분석 시 처리구 평균간 유의성 검정은 Duncan의 다중범위검정으로 실시하였다. 잔디지반에 따라 대취축적 정도는 달랐으며 USGA 지반에서 대취층은 약식지반에 비해 9% 정도 높았다. 초종별 대취축적은 대체적으로 난지형 들잔디가 한지형 잔디에 비해 높았지만, 그 차이는 지반에 따라 다소 다르게 나타났다. 한지형에 비해 난지형 들잔디의 대취층은 USGA 지반에서 34~87% 그리고 약식지반에서 16~75% 정도 더 높게 나타났다. 들잔디 품종간 차이는 USGA 지반 및 약식지반에서 모두 중지 품종이 각각 3.58cm 및 3.21cm로 대취축적이 가장 크게 나타났다. 한지형 잔디 초종 간 차이를 보면 USGA 지반에서는 켄터키 블루그래스가 2.53cm로 가장 높았으며, 톨 훼스큐와 퍼레니얼 라이그래스는 각각 2.05cm 및 1.98cm로 나타났다. 약식지반에서도 한지형 잔디의 대취축적은 USGA 지반과 비슷한 경향으로 나타났다. 켄터키 블루그래스의 대취층이 가장 높았던 것은 켄터키 블루그래스가 지하경 생장(R-type)을 하기 때문에 주형생장(B-type)을 하는 퍼레니얼 라이그래스 및 톨 훼스큐 보다 왕성한 생장으로 인해 유기물 생성속도가 더 빠르기 때문이라 판단되었다. 잔디그라운드에서 적정 수준의 대취는 내마모성 증가 및 쿠션효과 등의 이점이 있기 때문에 켄터키 블루그래스는 잔디품질, 환경적응력 및 물리적 특성뿐만 아니라 선수 보호차원에서도 우수한 초종이라 판단되었다. 하지만, 잔디대취의 과다 축적 시 건조 피해, 환경스트레스 내성 저하, 병충해 피해 증가 등 여러 가지 문제점이 나타날 수 있어 적정 수준의 두께를 유지하는 것이 중요하므로 잔디관리 시 지반 및 초종에 따라 차별화 된 관리방법이 필요한 것으로 판단되었다.

모래 $100\%$로 조성된 USGA 지반에서 한지형 초종간 비교 실험한 결과 잔디 품질은 초종에 따라 크게 차이가 나타났으며 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 연중 한지형 잔디의 품질은 계절적으로 봄과 가을이 양호하였는데, 특히 5월 초순$\sim$7월 초순과 8월 하순$\sim$11월 초순 사이의 기간이 가장 좋았다. 2. 잔디품질이 가장 우수한 초종은 켄터키블루그래스였고 가장 불량한 초종은 퍼레니얼라이그래스였다. 톨훼스큐의 품질은 켄터키블루그래스와 퍼레니얼라이그래스의 중간정도로 나타났다. 혼합구의 잔디품질은 켄터키블루그래스가 많이 혼합될수록 양호하였고, 반대로 퍼레니얼라이그래스가 많을 수록 불량하였다. 3. 여름 고온기의 잔디 적응력은 초종에 따라 상당히 다르게 나타났다. 켄터키블루그래스와 톨훼스큐는 하고 현상으로 인한 피해가 나타나지 않았지만, 내서성 및 내건성이 약한 퍼레니얼라이그래스로 조성된 잔디는 여름 내내 잔디상태가 불량하였다. 켄터키블루그래스, 퍼레니얼라이그래스 및 톨훼스큐를 혼합하여 식재한 혼합구의 경우 퍼레니얼라이그래스가 많을수록 하고 현상 피해가 크게 나타나 잔디상태가 불량하였다. 4. USGA 모래 지반에서 자란 한지형 잔디의 품질은 국내기후 조건에서 켄터키블루그래스가 가장 양호하였으며, 퍼레니얼라이그래스는 한지형 잔디 중 가장 불량하였다. 5. 고품질이 요구되는 지역에는 연중 품질이 우수하고, 여름 고온기에도 잔디 적응력이 우수한 켄터키블루그래스가 가장 적합하였고, 이보다 품질은 다소 떨어지지만 여름에 하고 현상 피해가 없는 톨훼스큐는 저관리 잔디 지역에 적합한 것으로 사료되었다. 그리고 혼합구 사용 시 하고 현상 피해를 최소화하려면 켄터키블루그래스 위주로 하면서 퍼레니얼라이그래스 혼합율은 $20\%$ 이내로 유지 하는 것이 바람직하다고 판단되었다.

Korea and Japan hosted the FIFA World Cup Soccer Game in 2002. Ten stadiums had been built and more than 30 soccer grounds for practice were renovated in Korea. Sport fields in both countries had problems on cool-season turfgrass growth and quality by summer decline during humid and warm climate especially followed by intensive uses. We measured the effects of air-flow system, which is designed to optimize rootzone soil gas and moisture levels to promote the growth and maintenance turfgrass. This experiment was carried out to verify the effects of the system on soil gas exchange, ground resilience, and turfgrass recovery in turfgrass rootzone. Within 1 or 2hr of operation of the system, rootzone soil gas ($CO_2$, $O_2$) levels returned to natural atmospheric levels completely Soil $CO_2$ levels began to decrease within the first 10 min of operation of the system. The levels were reduced from 1.3 to 0.06% after 30 min, and natural atmospheric levels within 1 hr. When the system was turned off, $CO_2$ levels increased to 0.36% and 0.7% after 5 and 20 hr, respectively. The application of the system did not affect the resilience of turf surface after traffic treatments. Higher traffic treatment resulted in higher surface resilience especially in zoysiagrass plots. Operation of the system had a significant beneficial impact on turf recovery by increased root dry wight and improved turf quality, as compared with the non-operated check plots.
