Abstract/Contents: | Discusses potential challenges involved with spring and fall sports field transitions. Explains that "when...trying to establish an overseeded grass in the fall, [one is] transitioning from a bermudagrass monoculture to an overseeded stand. In the spring, [one wants] to eliminate the overseeded grass to preserve the health of the bermudagrass underneath. Unfortunately most game fields experience use during at least one of these transitions." Offers suggestions that may help the establishment of bermudagrasses, including verticutting, using a plant growth regulator, using a spiker to force seed into the canopy, using paint and covers, and killing overseeded grass. |
