A sprig is a part of stem with crowns and roots which is cut from a rhizome or stolon. Sprigging is a type of vegetative planting by placing sprigs in spaced intervals in holes. With proper transplantation and maintenance, a sprig is capable of growing as a plant. The cost of sprigging is moderate and vegetation is expected to grow for around six months. However, this method requires high manual input and is labour intensive.

Turfing is the direct application of vegetation with developed roots. The cost of turfing is high when compared with sprigging. However, it is the quickest way to get vegetation. Within a month mature-looking vegetation is ready for use.
