Question

the lawn grass is mowed frequently .how do the grasses regenerate

Open in App
Solution

  • Grass plants survive constant mowing because they are able to regenerate new leaves.
  • The lawn cutting machine or power rake's vertical tines slits the soil's surface where seed, nutrients and water can combine to regenerate the lawn.
  • The plants that survived this mowing developed a root crown located just out of reach of the blade of the machine.
  • This intense cutting and re-growing developed the ability of the grass to regenerate itself, even after being mowed almost to the root crown.
