Assessing Drainage Performance of Turfgrass Rootzone in Sports Fields by Mustafa Karaagaçli, Mehmet Turgut Sağlam, Hayrullah Ağaçcıoğlu, Remziye İlayda Tan Kesgin, Erdal Kesgin, Kadir Gezici

“…Moreover, the turfgrasses were grown through the application of two different doses (2.5 ml (A) and 3.0 ml (B)) of liquid humic acid named Run/Black Jak in addition to basic fertilization of 18-22-0 (slow-release fertilizer) + Nu Film spreader-sticker + 26-05-11 (slow-release fertilizer) + 9-9-9 (slow-release fertilizer containing +9% Fe). It was observed that 2 cm layer was formed under the turfgrass in rootzones with 80% sand + 20% sitl+clay mixture by slowing water drainage and negatively affecting infiltration, making it unsuitable for sports fields. …”
