Abstract/Contents: | Suggests all jobs that should be done on a sports field before the season begins. Advises having the soil tested at a lab before fertilizing. Discusses the importance of spring weed control because "weeds left in the field will compete with the young bemudagrass and reduce the general quality of the field". Also, comments on poor soil drainage because of different soil layers. States that "if the field was overseeded last fall, the time to help the transition from ryegrass back to bermuda is as soon as the first green sprigs of bermudagrass begin to show up." Compares conditions for ryegrass and bermudagrass, and gives several tips for bermudagrass field: mowing lower, keep the field dry, wait to fertilize until the bermudagrass has greened. |
