Installing, Managing The 'Perfect Lawn' In las! week's column I outlined some ol the "secrets" of selecting and fertilizing grass for the perfect lawn. A lawn of hybrid bermuda grass or zoysiagrass installed and managed properly will produce, without argument, the perfect lawn. Improperly installed and managed, these grasses will perform no better than other lawn grasses. The true hybrid bermudagrasses (like Tifway. Tilway II. Tifton 41'), Tifton 328. or others) are sterile and cannot be propagated by seed. The same is true for the finer-textured zoysiagrasscs (like Emerald, Meyer, Cashmire. and El-Toro). Seed of hybrid bermudagrass and the zoysiagrass can often be located in seed stores, but these hybrid seed ed types have not demonstrated the same high-quality characteristics of the older sterile hybrids in university cultivar evaluations. Three methods are commonly used to install these sterile hybrid lawn grasses: sprigs, plugs or sod. In all cases, soil should be tested anil amended according to the soil test recommendations. In addition, soil preparation should include the eradi cation of all perennial weeds and the use of an appropriate pre-emergent herbicide (except in the case of sod ding). Propagation of bermudagrass or zoysiagrass by sprigs involves dig ging up sod, removing iiic soil from the sod. and then mechanically breaking apart the sod into individ ual stems and roots. These pieces of stem and roots are then transported to the planting site, spread out on prepared ground, and forced into the soil with a special disk or coulter. The spries are kept continually moist for at least three weeks before sprigs root and become established. Golf courses commonly use sprig ging to establish fairways, tees, and greens. Sprigging is rarely used to establish home lawns. Plugs also can be utilized to es tablish these grasses. Plugs (two- to three-inch diameter) of a desirable cultivar can be obtained from garden centers, mail order houses, sod ? THE PLANT DOCTOR C. BRUCE WILLIAMS Extension Area Turf Specialist farms or other sources. Mosl plugs are placed on one-foot centers (i.e. one plug per square foot) tor rapid coverage. Plugging often fails be cause many individuals do not prop erly prepare the site or the soil. Sod is the surest method to get ting a "perfect" lawn fast. On the slow-to-establish zoysiagrasscs. I highly recommend sod he the prima ry method of establishment. Sodding hybrid bermudagrass or zoysiagrass also eliminates many of the prob lems associated with plugging or sprigging (like weed infestations). Regardless of whether you choose sod. sprig, or plug, a critical step in establishing a perfect lawn is to make sure the soil surface is ab solutely even. This will require that the soil be smoothed with a water filled roller before and after the in stallation of the grass. An uneven surface is nearly impossible to cor rect alter the tact without major i!in ruption to the entire yard. In addi tion, an uneven surface creates nu merous mowing difficulties. A properly managed, correctly mowed, and well-irrigated lawn will normally have fewer weed, insect, or disease problems, but there will be some problems. A "perfect" lawn will require special attention during certain times of the year. Brown patch, mole crickets, ground pearls, and other pests can devastate a "per fect lawn very quickly even if you are doing everything just right. If a problem is noticed, identify the cause or the pest. ?NHVliR apply a pesticide with out first identifying the pest. ?NiiVER apply a pesticide with out due cause. I have seen numerous "perfect" lawns ruined by indiscrim inate or inappropriate pesticide use. BAI WAYS follow all label pre cautions, directions, and warnings during the pesticide application. Several publications can be useful in identifying turfgrass diseases and pests. One of the best is "Turfgrass i'\ Munagctr.ent M<inual - A Guide to Major Turfgrass Pests ami Turfgrasses. AG-34$" by North Carolina Cooperative Extension Ser vice (copies are available for ap proximately S5 through most NC Cooperative I'Mension Service of fices). "Insert Management in Turf, AG 447 Carolina Lawns", anil "A Complete Guide to Mole Cricket Management in North Carolina. ENT 101" would also be very useful in pest identification and control (these publications are free). Over 1.7 million acrcs of home lawns exist in North Carolina, more than any other agricultural crop. Lawns serve as a wonderful surface for play, provide a natural filter for surface and ground water, provide oxygen to breath, and help to trap many airborne pollutants but creat ine an aesthetically "perfect" lawn may not always be practical.
