| Abstract/Contents: | "On pure sand surface: sand/hypnum peat mixes were greatly superior to sand/fine spaghnum peat mixes or pure sand for topdressing over sand surfaces seeded to bentgrass. Sand/hypnum peat strongly improved the rate of cover and plant development when topdressed at a sand/peat ratio of 80/20, 70/30 or higher. Coated seed delayed germination and emergence of bentgrass by one to two days. Topdressed with 100% sand, coated seed did not establish greater numbers of bentgrass seedlings than non-coated seed. Bentgrass seedings topdressed with sand/hypnum mixes ranging from 10 to 30% peat, established more seedlings from coated seed than non coated seed. When bentgrass seeding rates were at the commonly recommended rate (1 lb/1000 ft2 non-coated bentgrass) for putting green establishment in the Northwest, these higher numbers of bentgrass seedlings did not result in more rapid surface cover of bentgrass at four and eight weeks following seeding in the fall. At lower seeding rates, bentgrass cover was more rapid with coated seed when seed numbers seeded were equal. Coated seedings topdressed with sand/spaghnum peat also established more seedings than non-coated seedings but usually 10 to 50% fewer seedlings were established in sand/spaghnum topdressings as compared to hypnum peat. This higher seedling count from coated seed in sand/spaghnum topdressings resulted in slightly higher cover (at 1/4 and 1/2 lb seeding rate) from coated seed at eight weeks following seeding. The number of bentgrass seedlings established at two weeks following seeding and the percent cover of bentgrass at four and eight weeks following seeding with sand/hypnum peat was similar at bentgrass seeding rates of 3/4 lb coated seed/1000 ft2 versus 1.0 lb non-coated seed/1000 ft2. It is estimated that 15 to 25% lower seed numbers of coated bentgrass seed should result in equivalent seed numbers from non-coated seed where good seedling establishment culture is practiced. Thus, 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 lb of coated seed should replace 1 lb of non-coated seed." |
