| Abstract/Contents: | "Water immersion treatments with or without nitrogen sources were evaluated for their effects on various spring-seeded turfgrass germination perameters. Doubling immersion incidence, increasing immersion time to 48 hours, increasing rinse frequency to 4-hour intervals, or proplonging dry down decreased the time required for germination and second leaf emergence in fine-leaved Festuca sp. Increasing time between immersion and planting from 48 hours to 2 weeks increased germination; intervals longer than 30 days decreased germination and establishment. All pregermination treatments improved seedling density, vigor, and color. Under moderate maintenance, turf quality at 4, 6, or 9 months was unaffected by pregermination treatments. Under low maintenance, pregermination treatments effects were evident for 9 months. Pregermination treatments reduced incidence and severity of soil erosion, minimized weed encroachment, and reduced incidence and severity of seedling diseases. Low levels of urea improved germination, establishment, and vigor. Any level of ammonia resulted in nearly total fatality. Pregermination techniques speed establishment of fine fescue on low-maintenance banks and hillsides or on recently disturbed sites." |
