Abstract/Contents: | "Seedbanking is a practice associated with heavy over-seeding to help athletic field managers sustain turf cover in high traffic scenarios, however, whether a true seedbank is being formed or if multiple inputs offer a source of fresh seed remains unanswered. Kentucky bluegrass was seeded at 30, 60, and 120 g m-2 and perennial ryegrass at 150, 300, and 450 g m-2, both on bare ground, under two seeding schedules (single vs. multiple), and trafficked for ten weeks during a US football season. Evaluations on percentage cover were made monthly during the season and emerged seedlings from plot cores were evaluated 3, 7, and 12 months after seeding to determine seedbanking potential. At 3 months after planting, multiple seedings resulted in 4.5 times and 48 times greater seedling emergence for Kentucky bluegrass and perennial ryegrass, respectively, than single seeding. At 7 and 12 months after seeding, very few seedlings emerged from cores of either species. At the end of the traffic season, Kentucky bluegrass cover was 23% greater and perennial ryegrass was 11% greater for a single seeding compared to multiple. Turf managers will maximize turf cover on bare areas by seeding heavily in early fall, and can provide a fresh source of seed through the season with multiple subsequent seedings. No beneficial seedbanking ability was observed with either species." |
