Stolonizing is, essentially, broadcast sprigging. The vegetative planting material is uniformly deposited on a moist, but not wet, soil surface. This usually requires from 5 to 10 bushels per Kft2. The planting bed is then topdressed to partially cover the stolons, or the area is lightly disked to partially insert the stolons into the soil. Sprigging involves planting individual plants in furrows spaced 6 to 12 inches apart. As this requires from 1 to 4 bushels of sprigs per Kft2, depending on the spacing within and between rows, less plant material is required than for stolonizing. The area should be rolled and irrigated as soon as possible after sprigging or stolonizing to reduce desiccation potential and promote growth.

Stolons are horizontal stem that grow on the surface, or just below, the soil. They form new plants at the ends of their stems; they are also referred to as runners.

Stolons are a specialized type of horizontal above-ground shoot often known as a runner like on a strawberry plant that connects a mother plant to its daughters.

A fungal stolon is a horizontal hyphae that allows the fungus to spread over an area. If you have ever seen the above-ground runners connecting bits of grass, it's the same idea.

The reproductive hyphae that grows out of fungus is called?

it is called a SPORANGIOPHORE. It is a more or less vertically-growing hypha that holds the chamber where spores are produced in place. The container where the spores are actually produces the spores by meiosis is the SPORANGIUM. The other hyphae on the rhizopus are: Rhizoids and Stolons.


What are unwanted plants called?

Adventitious roots and dispersal describe why weeds grow without being planted. Plants typically get labeled as weeds for easy uprooting, environmental tolerances, fast establishment and multiple reproduction means. They grow by rhizomes, roots and stolons adventitiously establishing and spreading above and below ground and by seeds variously dispersed by people, pets, water, weather, wildlife and wind.


Can two organisms have the same genotype?

Yes.If* two or more organisms are formed from the same original cell, and* all divisions of that cell are by mitosis, and * there is no mutation, then the organisms will be genetically identical (= have the same genotype).Some examples:* human identical (monozygotic) twins * individuals of Hydra, a freshwater coelenterate, formed by budding * plants formed by vegetative propagation, such as budding (e.g. fruit trees in horticulture) and forming stolons (e.g. strawberries naturally)
