| Abstract/Contents: | "Kentucky bluegrass and 'Seaside' and 'Penncross' bentgrasses were sown at 1, 2, 4, and 8 pounds per 1000 square feet and covered 0, ⅛, ¼, or ½ inch. Population was greatly affected by the treatments; chlorophyll index and rooting were not affected. High sowing rate resulted in high populations (13,000-42,000/ft2) of small plants, more susceptible to disease and slower to mature. These populations decreased in the process of maturing. At the 2- to 4-pund rates initial and final populations were not greatly different. At the 1-pound rate there was little disease, populations were low (900-3,800/ft2) and plants had space to grow and spread, and rapidly reached a larger mature size. This development took time to form a complete cover. Covering seed ½ inch deep reduced stands of bluegrass slightly, of Seaside up to 60%, and of Penncross up to 75%. Seaside grew well with a cover up to ¼ inch, while ⅛ inch of less resulted in the densest stands of Penncross. Rapid turf maturity resulted from seedling so there were fewer than 2500-3800 bluegrass seedlings or 5000-8000 bentgrass seedlings per square foot." |
