Many people underestimate the importance of pruning artificial turf.


The turfgrass pruning principle: the trim is the most basic all turf management measures in one of the measures. Pruning is to remove part of the growth of stems and leaves. Under certain conditions, the trim can be maintained turfgrass grown under a certain height, increased tillering, and promote the development of the horizontal stolons and rhizomes, increase turf density, narrows the lawn grass blades, lawn ornamental and movement. Restrictions are not anti-manicured weed growth, to suppress turfgrass reproductive growth.

However, it is important to turfgrass do not like pruning, but can tolerate pruning. Sometimes see the manicured lawn grass is very beautiful, healthy, often mistaken for pruning good turfgrass actually trim the lawn grass is a stress. The trimmed the monoclonal lawn grass on the physiological and morphological and turfgrass community ecology have a greater impact. It can cause the blade root growth was suspended, cut turfgrass photosynthesis, reducing of turfgrass carbohydrate production and accumulation, thus affecting the other functions of the lawn grass. Trim leaves left wound pathogenic microorganisms to create invasion opportunities. A short period of time to increase the moisture loss of the blade tip portion, affect the roots of water absorption. But do not forget, lawn grass is grass domesticated from itself has the characteristics of anti-herbivore grazing; lawn grass trim antibiotics, but pruning is a modern form of grazing.

Turfgrass ability pruning is mainly due to the the turfgrass Asian apical meristem and from the stem base, horizontal internodes develop new plants. There are at least 10,000 kinds of grasses, less than 50 species can endure continuous pruning. These plants by increasing the density below the mowing height to compensate for the loss of part of the blade. The greater the density, the more green plant tissue to produce the desired plant carbohydrate.

Many people underestimate the importance of pruning artificial turf. A mowing height is moderate, trim timely lawn, weeds, pests and diseases with a strong resistance, bright green colors and robust lawn. Pruning is not timely, often leads to too many one-time trim grass, which will ultimately enable the lawn becomes sparse, and the plaque is obvious, even burns symptoms.
