ABSTRACT:
A novel method is proposed for the vegetative propagation of grasses and some dicots comprised first of growing sods of the desired cultivar over plastic sheeting in a sterile medium. When the planting has matured into a sod, it is harvested in strips which are milled and screened into milled turf pieces or plantlets that are approximately 1 to 3 inches long. In comparison to a sprig or stolon, a milled turf piece or plantlet is produced from a complete piece of sod grown over plastic in which the complete root system has been contained. The milled turf product includes plantlets with complete root, stem and leaf tissue all ready to grow. Bushel for bushel, the milled turf product is more dense with more growing points or meristems and per area it provides quicker grow-in.
