| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted "to evaluate chemical thatch control in Crenshaw and A-1 creeping bentgrass (Agrotis palustris Huds.) greens." States that "to prevent variability caused by disease, fungicides were applied on a preventive schedule to the untreated plots and plots treated with CPR, Thatch-X and molasses." Reports that "CPR and Thatch-X significantly reduced thatch layer depth compared to the untreated control" in Crenshaw creeping bentgrass and "all treatments significantly reduced the depth of the thatch layer in A-1 creeping bentgrass, but molasses had the greatest effect." Concludes that "with proper fertility programs, core cultivation, vertical mowing, topdressing and possibly Thatch-X, CPR, or molasses applications, the new creeping bentgrass cultivars can provide excellent putting green surfaces for many years with minimal thatch accumulation and reduced fungicide applications." |
