| Abstract/Contents: | "Public and athletic attitudes are shifting the use of artificial turf surfaces for athletic fields back towards the use of natural turfgrass (Cockerham, 1989; Canaway, 1990). Following the two years of research at Michigan State University's Hancock Turfgrass Research Center (HTRC), data indicated that sod establishment was superior compared to seeding for sand based athletic fields (Krick et al., 1993). Color, density, quality, and shear-vane measurements collected fall, 1993 were significantly higher for sod establishment plots, particularly if the turf is subjected to heavy use in the first year. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and determine the most efficient sodding strategy for establishing a high quality sports turf in a sand based rootzone given the parameter that the field will be subjected to use shortly after establishment." |
