A Feasibility Study of Lawn SOD Production and/or Related Activities on Dredged Material Disposal Sites.
Abstract
The study was designed to evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of the use of dredged material disposal sites for the commercial production of lawn sod or for other horticultural activities. Included in the investigation was the identification of various practices--marketing, production, organization, and cultural--that would influence the long-term development of such activities on disposal sites. Major classes of nonfood horticultural products analyzed to determine whether they could be grown commercially on disposal sites included lawn sod, nursery products, foliage plants, vegetable and flower seeds and bulbs, and Christmas trees. Technical feasibility of commercial production was tested through a concurrent evaluation of disposal site characteristics and appraisal of critical production and cultural practices for the horticultural crops.
