| Abstract/Contents: | "Mulches are used in turfgrass establishment to decrease the germination time, support uniform seedling development, and decrease the potential for soil erosion. A new pelletized paper mulch developed at Penn State University utilizes recycled paper as a base and is pelletized to provide easy application and handling. This mulch contains a 1-3-1 starter fertilizer and is weed free. Field and greenhouse experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of various rates of pelletized paper mulch and straw mulch on the establishment of Kentucky bluegrass. 'Merit' Kentucky bluegrass was established on silt loam soil and seeded at 122 kg/ha. Three rates of straw were included in the test, each with and without starter fertilizer to provide a total of six treatments. The fertilizer rates were equivalent to that provided in the pelletized paper mulch treatments. Volunteer oat seedlings were counted in both field and greenhouse studies. Data was subjected to analysis of variance and treatment means were seperated using Fishers Protected LSD test. The pelletized paper provided similar mulching effects to that of straw with significantly lower oat seedling counts." |
