Sprigging
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the method of pottery decoration, see Sprigging (decorative).
Sprigging is a method of plant propagation whereby cuttings of stolons or rhizomes are planted instead of seed onto the soil surface or into furrows or small holes.[1] This method is common for establishing Cynodon (Bermuda Grass) and Zoysia (Zoysiagrass). The stolons/rhizomes can also be broadcast in a slurry as in hydroseeding.
