Abstract/Contents: | "Good quality sod of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) was produced in 4.5 months with spring seeding and 9 months with fall seeding. A high seeding rate (40g/m2) resulted in turf shoot competition during the early establishment period and increased the severity of Helminthosporium leaf spot. However, the high seeding rate produced a sod with increased quality, turf cover, and sod strength." |
