| Abstract/Contents: | Unlike seed plants, mosses produce spores which germinate to form a threadlike structure called a protonema. Eventually buds form on the protonema and develop into the gametophyte which we typically see as moss. The gametophyte gives rise to the sporophyte which is composed of a stalk and capsule. The capsule contains many spores which help to further spread the moss. It appears that common species of lawn moss are not dependent on spores for propagation since small fragments of the gametophyte can spread vegetatively. Moss invasion into lawns occurs generally where there is a lack of competition by the turf. This is commonly associated with acidic, infertile soils; shade; excess water and turf injury due to disease or chemical damage. The persistent and recurring native of lawn mosses may be due to the fact that these plants can tolerate long periods of drought in a dehydrated condition. The chemical controls for moss are as follows: ferric sulfate, ferrous sulfate, ferrous ammonium sulfate, copper sulfate, zinc sulfate, mercury compounds, ammonium sulfate, lime, hydrated lime, pentachlorophenol, chloroxuron, and X-77 spray adjuvant. |
