Oversowing

The action of applying grass seed to an area with significant ground cover still present. This is typically of in season oversowing of pitches to maintain sward density or many end of season renovation programmes where areas have not been excessively worn, which is typical on many golf and bowling greens. The application rates for oversowing will typically be low to medium: 17-35g/m². Compare Overseeding, although often these terms will mean the same thing of just the application of grass seed to an area. Whether there is really a difference between these two terms is a contestable point.
