DePauw University - Patriot Bermudagrass after 23 Days of Straight Play

A quick update from DePauw University. The practice field is doing great. Both the football team and the field hockey team is using the field on a daily basis. So, after 23 days of really extreme play, here is what the field looks like:

As you can see, the middle of the field is showing a little wear, but the topdressing requirements of the bermudagrass has created a sand cap rootzone that plays well in all weather conditions.

The plan for the next two weeks is as follows:

1. Start overseeding the field this week with ryegrass at 10 lbs per 1000 sq ft
2. Apply a starter fertilizer
3. Incorporate a light topdressing
4. Continue to mow at 1 1/4 inch

The field will be used the entire fall, so there will be more updates as the fall continues.

Follow the progress of this field by looking at posts from JUNE, JULY, and AUGUST.
