Aerification Effects On ‘Innovation’ Zoysiagrass In 2020–2022, Dani Mcfadden, Jack D. Fry
Aerification Effects On ‘Innovation’ Zoysiagrass In 2020–2022, Dani Mcfadden, Jack D. Fry
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
When a thatch layer accumulates on turfgrass it can be detrimental to the stand. A field experiment was initiated to investigate aerification treatments and their influence on thatch (organic matter level), quality, and color of ‘Innovation’ zoysiagrass that was sodded within the past year. Turfgrass that was intensely aerified had less organic matter content in the surface inch of the profile compared to turfgrass that was not aerified. Color was also enhanced in treatments receiving aerification compared to non-aerified turf, which may have been attributed to the trending higher nitrate content in aerified plots. Moderately aerified turf significantly increased rooting …
