| Abstract/Contents: | "Organic-(muck) and mineral-(sand) grown sods of 'Floratam' St. Augustinegrass [Stenotaphrum secundatum (Walt.) Kuntze] were planted on 27 Apr. 1982. Two fertilizer rates (5 g N m-2 and 10 g N m-2) were applied before planting (sodbed surface) or after planting (sod surface). Rooting strength and turf quality were evaluated at 2 and 4 weeks, and growth rate at 4 weeks postplanting. Mineral-grown sod had greater rooting strength at 2 and 4 weeks after planting. Fertilizer placement was a factor only at 4 weeks, with sod surface better than sodbed placement. Strongest rooting occured at 5 g N m-2. Turf quality and growth rate were greatest for organic-grown sod whereas the 10 g N m-2 fertilizer rate produced the best quality and greatest growth rate." |
