| Abstract/Contents: | Describes proposed alternatives to planting perennial ryegrass in Appalachian Mountains because of an epidemic of gray leaf spot destroying many perennial ryegrass fairways. Explains that Kentucky Bluegrass would be an effective alternative because of its immunity to gray leaf spot, but it is extremely slow to establish, with fairways not available to be opened until August 1, versus June 1 with perennial ryegrass. Proposes that planting a seed mix of both Kentucky bluegrass and either perennial ryegrass or Transit intermediate ryegrass would speed up the establishment of the fairways in spring, and the intermediate ryegrass would die midsummer because of its low heat tolerance, leaving only the Kentucky bluegrass permanently. "The trial was conducted on a portion of the eighth fairway at the Virginia Tech Golf Course" using four compact-type Kentucky bluegrass cultivars, America, Apollo, Unique, and Rambo, planted either alone or in a 70/30 mix with 30% Transit intermediate ryegrass or Phantom perennial ryegrass. "Direct counts of the species present in each plot by July 31 indicated that almost no KB had established in PR or IR mixes. It is clear that the ryegrasses germinated and developed so quickly that the slow-germinating KB, even though it made up 70% of the seed planted, was not able to compete effectively for resources (space, light, nutrients, water) and become established... By the next spring all plots had obtained nearly 100% cover. However, removal of all species but KB in each plot with selective herbicides in the fall of 2002 revealed that much of this cover was due to Poa annua invasion." |
