Topdressing.biz News:Effect of Crumb Rubber Topdressing on Athletic Fields

Effect of Crumb Rubber Topdressing on Athletic Fields 1999
According to:D.K. Tompkins, J.B. Ross and D. L. Moroz

"The use of crumb rubber improved turf resiliency and had no impact on turf quality, water infiltration or water content. However, there was a reduction in grass clipping yield and an increase in the tissue zinc concentration associated with the use of crumb rubber. The increase in zinc concentration, must be monitored over time, and may be a more serious problem on the repeat application treatments.

Wear tolerance will be monitored in the spring of 2000."
