Abstract/Contents:Presents a study conducted "to determine how various commercially available and experimental cover materials modify surface temperatures of a bermudagrass green when covers are applied before predicted severe winter temperatures, and to determine the extent to which the turf covers reduce the levels of photosynthetically active radiation at the turf surface." Details materials and methods used in the study. Reports that "reductions in photosynthetically active radiation were 87% or greater for all black covers (BT1, BT2, BX) and the experimental SLR and PPS." Also reports that "the overwintering blanket (OB) provided the highest daily mean maximum, minimum and range in temperature of all cover treatments." Concludes that "applying any form of cover on a temporary basis before anticipated temperatures of 24.8 F [fahrenheit]...or less resulted in an increase in average minimum temperatures as compared to the uncovered control."
