Green Acres: Turfgrass Production: Turfgrass Sod Reduces the Time and Effort Required to Establish Aesthetically Pleasing Lawns and Playing Fields
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Green lawns are comforting to those who live in or visit urban areas. These green spaces also reduce glare, absorb carbon dioxide, and produce oxygen. Lawns are composed of turfgrasses. A turfgrass cover can assist the visual quality of homes and buildings. For those who have to take care of the grasses within these environments, it is found that it takes hard work to keep them green, without weeds, and maintain a trimmed, decorative appearance. For those who have taken a bare lot or one with low quality grasses and weeds, time and great care are required to make it into a beautiful green lawn. Seed must be planted, watered, fertilized, and rid of weeds and then maintained by cutting, fertilizing, and thatching. However, homeowners and businesses seek instant gratification. They want manicured, fresh looking lawns now. One way lawns can be quickly gained is through the use of turfgrass sod. This is a multi-billion-dollar industry and is a farm product produced in many countries including Australia, Canada, the European Union, Japan, and the United States, which are major producers. What is Sod? Sod is grass and its soil that have grown into a firmly-knitted surface. It can be cut into strips or pieces, and this vegetation can be planted as large pieces to cover home lawns, business green spaces, highway edging, or sport playing surfaces. World and American football have gained notoriety for turfgrass sod such as that shown in Figure 1. Sports commentators seem to always be talking about the playing surfaces, their condition, and how the players will respond to wet grass conditions. Golf also has brought attention to turfgrasses. However, the production of turfgrass sod has been increasing because families who are buying new homes want the look of professional lawns without the time and skill required to establish a quality yard. [FIGURE 1 OMITTED] Turfgrass Varieties Depending upon the climate of the region and the intended use of the turfgrass, various species can be cultivated for an improved product. Common turfgrass species include Bermudagrass, centipedegrass, fine rescue, Kentucky bluegrass, ryegrass, St. Augustinegrass, tall fescue, and zoysiagrass. * Bermudagrass is best for hot/dry or tropical climates. It is recommended for homes with children and pets. It can also be used for golf courses, sport fields, parks, and commercial landscapes. * Centipedegrass is best for hot/ humid, tropical climates. It grows well in hot, rainy regions. It is used for general purpose lawns. * Fine fescue is a general purpose grass that can be used in areas with cool and and climates. Because of these characteristics, it is often mixed with other grasses. In warmer regions it can produce good green color in the winter. * Kentucky bluegrass can be grown in cool or temperate regions that are either humid or semi-arid. It adapts well for residential or commercial lawns and can also be used on sport fields, recreation areas, and as road edging. * Ryegrass is highly adaptable. It also can be used as a mixture with other grasses. It grows best in mild winters and cool, moist summers. These characteristics lend themselves to play areas and sports fields. * St. Augustinegrass is best grown in hot, tropical coastal regions. It is a landscape grass suitable for residential and commercial landscapes. * Tall fescue is good for transitional climate regions. It adapts well to cold winters and warm summers. It is a tough grass, so it may be used for a wide variety of applications such as residential and commercial landscapes, roadsides, sports fields, and recreation areas. * Zoysiagrass is recommended for hot, humid tropical climates. It can withstand heavy use in lawns for residential and commercial areas. Grasses can be grown from seed or sprig (grass and its root systems; called stolons). Commercially, the turfgrasses are grown on acreage at farms and cut into sections of sod for transport and replanting at their site of usage. …
