| Abstract/Contents: | "The presence of loamy to clayey soil on sods to be transplanted onto high-sand root zones is a concern in terms of potential problems with reduced rooting and soil water infiltration, plus increased potential problems from a lateral shear plane and a perched hydration zone above the particle size interface. Soil-free sod or washed sod which has been washed hydraulically under pressure offers an approach to alleviate most of the potential problems introduced by the finer textured soil layer. In addition, the washed sod is thought to have enhanced rooting characteristics, although soundly based research to support this observation has been lacking. The objective of this study was to assess the effectts of hydraulic washed sod on the transplant rooting, surface hardness, lateral shear strength, and soil water infiltration rate. Studies were conducted on sods of a Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis)-perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) polystand and a creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera subsp. stolonifera L.) monostand, that were transplanted onto 100% sand and sand-peat rootzones. The findings confirmed a more rapid rate of transplant rooting from washed sod in comparison to traditional sod with soil attached. Washed sod also had reduced surface hardness and better lateral shear strength than unwashed sod. Sods containing soil of a finer texture had substantially less lateral shear strength when transplanted onto a high-sand root zone when compared to washed sod. Finally, the washed sod without a fine textured soil layer transplanted over a high-sand root zone resulted in more favorable soil water infiltration rates. These results strongly support the value of using washed sod when transplanting onto high-sand root zones, with multiple benefits being derived." |
