| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted "to determine the effects of different mowing times (4 a.m., 10 a.m., or 10 p.m.) on leaf wetness duration (dollar spot incidence) of creeping bentgrass/annual bluegrass turf, determine the effect of daily mowing versus mowing every other day, the effects of dragging versus mowing, and the effects of using a sharp versus dull mower." Details methods and materials used in the study, including mowing time, blade sharpness, dew removal method, and mowing frequency. Reports that "mowing and squeegee treatments conducted at 4 a.m. significantly reduced dollar spot compared to treatments conducted at 10 a.m and 10 p.m., and 10 p.m. treatments significantly reduced dollar spot compared to treatments at 10 a.m." Concludes that "mowing and other dew removal methods should be done as early in the morning as possible. Dew should be removed daily by mowing or by other methods like dragging and rolling when mowing is impractical. Areas that are shaded and dry slowly in the morning should be given extra attention." |
