| Abstract/Contents: | "The use of reel mowers equipped with forward and reverse rotating brushes can impact several aspects of putting green management. Putting greens are mowed frequently to produce a consistent surface. One goal of a turfgrass manager is to provide a quality playing surface without sacrificing plant health. The use of brushes on creeping bentgrass [Agrostis stolonifera L.] and ultradwarf bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. x C. transvaalensis Burtt-Davy] can affect green speeds, sand removal, soil moisture, percent green cover (PGC), and mower component damage. Brushes were used on 'V8' creeping bentgrass and 'TifEagle' ultradwarf hybrid bermudagrass to determine the effects of using two brush combinations against a control (no brush). A 0.318 cm height of cut and brush height of 0.254 cm was used for both brushing directions, and did not result in significant differences in sand collection, green speed, PGC, and average soil moisture when used on creeping bentgrass. Brushes used on the ultradwarf bermudagrass were set initially to 0.191 cm (aggressive), and then lowered to 0.127 cm (very aggressive). Height of cut was initially 0.318 cm, and then lowered to 0.292 cm. The highest amount of sand removed was by the forward-rotating brush. Brushing with either rotation significantly affected average green speeds on an ultradwarf putting green. Green speed was highest without a brush (2.56 m), and lowest with the forward-rotating brush (2.41 m). Average PGC was highest with forward-rotating brushes (95.1%). The counter-rotating brush resulted in the lowest PGC (93.4%) out of all treatments. Bedknife thickness was negatively affected by the use of brushes rotating in both directions on the ultradwarf bermudagrass putting green. The bedknife thickness was reduced most by using a counter-rotating brush attached in front of the reel. Initial bedknife thickness was 1.45 mm, and was reduced to 1.14 mm." |
