Wanted: A Beautiful Lawn. Should I sod or seed’’ Admittedly, sod provides instant and luxuriant beauty It also eliminates the mud problem. It will tolerate light foot traffic, can be mowed in one week, and will withstand heavy use in two weeks Sod also instantly solves the erosion problems on grades and terraces But... Is there another side to the sod coin? I think there is Research at Purdue University and other universities proves that a sodded lawn \rill never root as deeply as a seeded lawn, even after several years of growing time What this means to you is that your ’‘sodded lawn will be much more vulnerable to drought in hot weather. Unfortunately, it will also be much more vulnerable to fungus diseases — not because it is sod. but because of the varieties of grass seed which the sod growers are using Every variety of bluegrass is susceptible to some kind of fungus However, the new varieties of bluegrass are highly resistant to the fungus species which are currently abundant. Those fungi became abundant because a type of plant upon which they grow well (Windsor Kentucky Bluegrass, for instance) was made abundant by extensive use in lawns over a large area. Sod. then, is usually highly susceptible to fungi because the growers are still using the older, non-resistant, less expensive varieties This is not to say that sod growers are selling you diseases They aren’t. They have kept the diseases under control with filhgicides. and if your new sod is to remain disease free, you must continue the fungicide treatments every season This can be very expensive. The new disease-resistant varieties of lawn seed will give you five to ten years of relatively disease-free performance before a "new" type of fungus which can

live well on this new grass becomes a problem. At that time the procedure is to dver-seed the failing lawn with a new. resistant variety of grass. In the meantime, if you must use sod for some specific reason, then you can get a headstart on the fungus problem by applying two pounds of a good diseaseresistant grass seed per 1000 square feet before you lay the sod.
