| Abstract/Contents: | "'Juvenile sod' refers to an immature sod produced in pans in a greenhouse, with only 5 to 6 weeks from seeding to harvest. Seeds were planted in peatmoss after adjusting pH to 7 and were watered with nutrient solution. Tensile strength produced in plastic pans having molded ribbed bottoms and drainage holes vs. flat-bottomed pans was compared. Covering the pans with thin plastic sheets vs. leaving them uncovered during the first 4 days of germination was examined for effect on tensile strength. Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb), perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.), and Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.), seeded at 60 vs. 30, 60 vs. 30, and 30 vs. 15 g m-2, respectively, were evaluated. Ribbed-bottom, covered pans, and increased seeding rates resulted in greater tensile strength, which was sufficient for marketable handling." |
