Abstract/Contents: | Discusses sod establishment and rooting on athletic fields, suggesting that, due to intense play during peak establishment times, cultivation of sod may be difficult. Reports on research conducted "to quantify the effect of sod installation timing on the rooting strength of Kentucky bluegrass." States that "sod installed in December consistently increased rooting strength over all other sod installation dates indicating a considerable advantage to late fall sod installation." Mentions that fields established with sod in December may potentially be available for play by May of the next year. |
