What is the difference between hydroseeding and turfing on slopes?

Turfing is the direct application of grass with developed roots on slope surface. The already-developed grass is expected to grow easier when compared with hydroseeding. The roots of grass shall extend onto soils to strength the overall surface.

This question is taken from book named – A Self Learning Manual – Mastering Different Fields of Civil Engineering Works (VC-Q-A-Method) by Vincent T. H. CHU.
