6 Lawn Classification
7 Six Principles 1. Mowing & String Trimming 2. Irrigation 3. Fertilization 4. Aeration 5. Restoration and Renovation 6. Integrated Pest Management
8 Mowing & String Trimming Most basic of cultural practice but needs to be performed properly Removing top growth creates stress Influence on density and health Use of the lawn Equipment rotary mower 11 foot wide ride-on 6 foot wide ride-on 3- & 4-foot walk-behind maintenance
9 Mowing & String Trimming Height of Cut 2.5 or 3.0 Frequency based on growth rate / use (2 x s per week) Detail in fence line labor intensive Monitor growth and current conditions
10 Mowing & String Trimming Seasonal Adjustments Spring more frequent Summer growth Fall leaves and mulch mowing
11 Irrigation Application of water to plants promote active growth Automatic and Manual Impact on use of turf area Not all lawns
12 Automatic Irrigation Overnight watering allows to drain before use Central computer Weather station rain hold Field scouting for conditions and adjust amounts actively managed seasonal factors
13 Automatic Irrigation Monthly system check In-house repair and sprinkler adjustments Spring start-up Fall winterization Valves and sprinklers repair parts inventory
14 Manual Irrigation New seeding and established Labor intensive frequent moving of sprinkler Daytime and use of lawn
15 Fertilization Soil tests Provide nutrients to encourage healthy growth or recovery Timing April through October Avoid hot temperatures (July) Tractor-mounted or walk-behind rotary spreader
16 Fertilization Organic based granular Rate: 0.5 lb N / application Total: 3.5 lb N / year Not all lawns fertilized Types: Maintenance and starter
17 Fertilization The importance of calibration and application
18 Aeration Improve soil condition to encourage deep root growth which allows lawns to persist with heavy use Reduce compaction Increase infiltration air exchange water and nutrients Two Types solid tine & hollow tine
19 In-Season Aeration Monthly May to August Verti-drain Verti-quake Surface clean Six to eight inches deep Mark infrastructure irrigation check Solid Tine
20 Core Aeration Fall restoration with seeding September or October 2 to 3 inches Surface disruption Hollow Tine
21 Core Aeration Drum aerator walk / tow behind Smaller lawn use
22 Restoration & Renovation Annual programs to keep desired quality and density Restoration: improve existing Core aeration and over-seed Renovation: starting over Rotation based on need or desire Lawn closure during process
23 Restoration Solid tine: vibratory lateral shatter of soil Outside areas of play aggressive entrances Roller, one pass and can seed Aera-vator
24 Restoration Create environment for seed to germinate Seed-to-soil contact Clean-up Verti-cut
25 Restoration Create environment for seed to germinate Modifying soil / surface drying Thatch accumulation Topdress
26 Restoration Broadcast seed on top of existing lawn Introduce newer improved grasses (species and varieties) Recover from thinning and turf loss from summer stress Timing September and October Overseed Often includes core aeration and other cultural practices
27 Restoration Seed-to-soil contact Break up soil plugs from core aeration Clean-up and knock in sand on surface Smooth out surface Drag Mat
28 Seed specification Specification is reviewed annually Based on current NTEP data Cultivars are selected for: Mean turfgrass quality Disease ratings Wear tolerance ratings 25,000 pounds of seed park wide Central Park Athletic Fields Kentucky Bluegrass 3,000 lbs Perennial Ryegrass 3,000 lbs Tall Fescue 1,750 lbs Shade 300 lbs
29 Overseeding Rates (1,000 ft 2 ) Kentucky Bluegrass: 2 to 5 lbs Perennial Ryegrass: 5 to 10 lbs Tall Fescue: 5 to 7 lbs Shade Mix: 3 to 7 lbs
30 Renovation Communication Signage Fencing Improvement to an individual lawn on rotating basis
31 Renovation Soil testing and amending Seed selection
32 Renovation Straw and jute netting Moisture and temperature Erosion control
33 Renovation Aftercare water and fertilizer
34 Integrated Pest Management Previous five principles and programs Create environment for heathy plant growth Identification of problem insect, weed, disease Thresholds of acceptance
35 Integrated Pest Management White grub damage Laboratory analysis Determine future coarse of action
36 Integrated Pest Management One year later Snow mold winter disease Spring seeding Increased fertility with appropriate timing
