| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the effects of soil temperature on crabgrass germination. States that "crabgrass germination is very dependent on soil temperature, not air temperature." Explains that "variations in soil temperatures depend on several factors": "1. the soil in a wet lawn area will warm up much slower than a dry soil"; "2. lawns on south-facing slopes warm up faster than those on north-facing slopes"; and "3. a thick lawn grown on muck sod (dark color) will warm up sooner than a thin lawn on light colored soil." Also explains that "crabgrass germination is also dependent on abundant sunlight near the soil surface. A tall dense lawn or a heavily shaded area will delay and/or eliminate the potential for crabgrass germination. Moisture is also needed for the germination process and for survival after germination |
