Abstract/Contents:"Sod production characteristics (i.e. sod-tensile strength (STS), transplant root tensile strength, and transplant shock) of turf-type Buchloë dactyloides were evaluated in this study. The twenty-two entries of the National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP) Buchloë dactyloides trial located near Ithaca, Nebraska and a trial near Austin, Texas were evaluated for STS. Vegetatively propagated cultivars, Prairie and 609, had greater STS than others in the test. Seeded and diploid entries exhibited STS that would be considered too low for commercial sod production. Southern adapted cultivars ranked high in Texas, while the northern adapted cultivars were high in Nebraska. Sod transplant root tensile strength was evaluated in Nebraska. Diploid and seeded cultivars had very low or no transplant root tensile strength eight weeks after transplant. There was no significant correlation between transplant root tensile strength and STS. Cultivar 609 had greater root tensile strength when compared to other genotypes tested. Transplant shock was evaluated for cultivars 315 and 378. Each cultivar was treated with 3 antitranspirants prior to sod cutting. Sod was harvested and transplanted immediately or 48 hours later. Cultivar 378 exhibited better recovery characteristics than 315. Sod transplanted immediately after harvest exhibited quicker recovery. Antitranspirant treatments had no effect on translplant shock."
