| Abstract/Contents: | "Securing adequate time for proper turfgrass establishment following athletic field construction or renovation is a significant challenge. Spring construction and renovation projects often get delayed thereby diminishing the necessary time for sufficient root development before anticipated athletic field use. An alternative sod installation timing following fall sports may provide adequate root development during a typical period of minimal to no field usage. Five sod installation treatments (December covered, December uncovered, May, June, and July) were evaluated for rooting strength monthly and spring color. The May sod installation timing was used as the control, representing the typical sod installation time with anticipated intense field use in the fall. The objective of this field study was to quantify the effect of sod installation timing on the rooting strength and spring color of Kentucky bluegrass. December covered treatments consistently increased rooting strength over all other treatments in 2006. December covered and uncovered treatments consistently increased rooting strength over all other installation dates in 2007, indicating a considerable advantage to late fall sod installation for more extensive root development throughout the subsequent growing season.
