| Abstract/Contents: | "Sod production of St. Augusinegrass, Stenotaphrum secundatum (Walt.) Kuntze, is gradually moving from organic muck soils in south Florida to mineral sand soils in central and north Florida. Central Florida also has many acres of reclaimed phosphate mined lands which may have potential for St. Augustinegrass sod production. This report summarizes studies of St. Augustinegrass growth on phosphatic clay and sand soils affected by methods of planting, fertility programs, and cultivars. Four-inch plugs planted on 1-foot centers on clay and sand was the best out of 16 vegetative planting methods evaluated. Stolonization was equal to plugs on clay but was the poorest planting method to use on sand soil. Apparently high inherent fertility in phosphatic clay soil negates need for supplemental fertilization after St. Augustinegrass establishment. Fertilization with seven different fertilizer carriers at different rates and frequencies affected only turf color but not ground cover on clay. All fertilizer treatments increased ground cover as well as turf color on sand. Ammoium sulfate (AS) applied monthly at 1 lb. of N or isobutylidene diurea (IBDU) applied bimonthly at 2 lbs. of N per 1000 per square feet produced superior St. Augustinegrass color when grown on sand soil. No major differences between 'Floratam', 'Floralawn', 'Floratine', and 'Raleigh' St. Augustinegrass were found when grown on clay soil, although 'Raleigh' had inferior color." |
