| Abstract/Contents: | Presents the results of an experiment evaluating the effects of various cultural practices on turfgrass sod establishment on Ecomatā¢, a soil less growth medium used with plastic sheeting. Factors investigated include seeding rate, fertilization rate, and type of fertilizer. Differences in establishment among four turfgrass species were also investigated. After three months, perennial ryegrass sod had greater turf density than tall fescue, Kentucky bluegrass and supina bluegrass sods. High seeding rates resulted in greater turf density than low seeding rates. Use of organic rather than mineral nitrogen sources, and higher rates of nitrogen fertilization, also resulted in greater turf density. Potassium and phosphorus rates had no effect on turf density. |
