Abstract/Contents: | Presents research conducted to "evaluate fall and spring transition success with six bermudagrass cultivars, two rates of perennial ryegrass overseeding and eight methods of spring transition" to determine the "effect of bermudagrass cultivar on transition success." States that fall transition is "the establishment of perennial ryegrass in bermudagrass in the fall." Also states that "the importance of the rate of establishment, density and fall color of perennial ryegrass is dictated by the amount of play a course receives in the fall and late fall...[and] the speed of perennial ryegrass establishment is still important from the standpoint of annual bluegrass (Poa annua) suppression." Results indicate that "the bermudagrass cultivar has an enormous impact on perennial ryegrass establishment." Lists considerations that should be taken into consideration "in making the transition to overseeded bermudagrass in the spring," including "the competitive effects of perennial ryegrass on bermudagrass health, the aesthetics of turf during transition and proper timing of perennial ryegrass control." Results of this research indicate "that the choice of bermudagrass cultivar is a key ingredient for a successful transition." Concludes that "bermudagrass cultivar had the strongest influence on successful spring transition in this study. Nonaggressive bermudagrass cultivars will need aggressive efforts to control perennial ryegrass to ensure a successful spring transition. All transition methods decreased color and quality of bermudagrass turf for a period of three to six weeks after treatment." |
