| Abstract/Contents: | "Turfgrass establishment on sand-based rootzones is routinely accomplished using sod produced on a fine-textured native soil. As a result, soil layering occurs, potentially causing initial reduction in water infiltration, rooting, aeration, playability, and overall turfgrass quality. This research was aimed at determining the feasibility of applying sand over existing native soil to produce hybrid bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. x C. transvaalensis Burtt-Davy] sand-based sod. Treatments were a control (no sand applied), 25 mm of sand applied in eight weekly topdressing events, 25 mm of sand applied in eight weekly topdressing events plus aerification, 25 mm sand applied all at once, and 50 mm of sand applied all at once. Preharvest factors evaluated were visual quality and scalping. Treatments were harvested and transplanted to a sand-based rootzone where handleability, tensile strength, and infiltration were also evaluated. Results indicate that 25 mm of sand applied by topdressing plus aerification treatments showed higher quality pre-harvest. The control and 25-mm treatments were best in terms of harvesting, handleability, and sod tensile strength. Infiltration data indicated no significant differences between treatments. These outcomes, along with further analysis, could provide sod producers with a valuable product for use on sand-based rootzones." |
