Anuew PGR Performance on Bentgrass Fairways
Growing degree day models can successfully predict the performance of gibberellin-inhibiting plant growth regulators (PGRs) applied to cool-season golf putting greens. These models are effective because metabolism or degradation of PGRs was found to be directly related to air temperature. Relative clipping yield of turfgrasses treated with PGRs follow a sinewave model with a period of growth su...
متن کاملManagement of Take-all Patch of Creeping Bentgrass on Greens Constructed to USGA Specifications
Rationale Take-all patch, caused by Gaeumannomyces graminis f. sp. avenae, is favored by alkaline soils. Because the calcareous sands used for putting greens in the Midwest have a high pH, bentgrass greens constructed with high sand content or to USGA specifications are especially prone to the disease. Previous research addressed take-all patch on established bentgrass greens and fairways with ...
متن کاملFairway Contour Mowing
by PATRICK M. O'BRIEN Director, Sou theas te rn Region, U S G A Green Sect ion MOST GOLF COURSES like to offer their golfers an artistic contrast between the fairways and roughs, a feature that enhances the natural beauty of each hole. This is true especially if the fairway perimeters are curbed rather than set in a straight line. This feature is termed contour mowing, and it is usually conside...
متن کاملHow and W h y of Water's Effect on Golf Course Grasses
WATER is one of the most important substances connected with life in this world of ours. The plant uses water in some form at every stage in its life period. Germination cannot proceed without moisture, and the first organs produced by the growing plant are roots for the absorption of water. Water makes up 50 to 90 per cent of the growing grass plant on fairways, tees, and greens. Even such par...
متن کاملEvaluation of Alternative Turfgrass Species for Low-input Golf Course Fairways
As restrictions on water use, fertilization, and pesticide applications continue to increase, golf course superintendents will need to use grass species that require reduced inputs. The objective of this study was to evaluate alternative turfgrass species under lowinput fairways conditions. In 2005, 17 species were established on native soil in St. Paul, MN. Each species was evaluated at three ...
