Abstract/Contents: | Suggests techniques for preparing pre-germinated divot mix that can be used to repair turf athletic fields. Highlights methods used by the Iowa State University turf management team, stating that one should "begin the pre-germination process 4 or 5 days before the time [one] will actually apply seed to the field"; "let the seed solution soak in water for 12 hours, then drain seed for 12 hours"; "make divot mix by combining pre-germinated seed, sand, and a drying agent such as calcined clay, and green dye"; and "remove divot debris before seeding." States that "one advantage of the pre-germinated divot mix over non-germinated seed is that the pre-germinated seed does not require excessive water to get the seeds started. They are already growing and it only takes a little more frequent watering to make the seedlings develop." |
