| Abstract/Contents: | Describes the process of sod production. Discusses economic factors, soil selection, irrigation, seeding, weeds, fertilization, harvesting and market development. States that "there are several key requirements for development of a successful sod farming enterprise. These include: 1) availability of adequate capital, equipment, and labor; 2) a soil that is suitable for sod production; 3) adequate technology in the establishment, maintenance and harvesting operations; 4) development of a market for your product; and 5) integrity to produce a desireable product capable of giving satisfactory turf in the location where it is to be used." |
