Telephone, Texas

Variety:  Tifgreen 419 bermuda grass

Soil type:  sandy loam

Data collection:  November 8, 2002

Vitazyme application:  13 oz/acre sprayed over all1,200 acres of the turf farm on August 26, 2002

Comments:

Samples of newly-cut sod were examined, and the soil was washed away from areas to reveal a well knit sod having many aggressive rhizomes.  The harvesting crew found the sod to be of excellent quality with good integrity.

Because no untreated control areas existed (all 1,200 acres were treated), no direct comparison could be made with treated turf.
