Abstract/Contents: | Discusses how Poa annua is preventing golf courses from reaching their full potential because Poa annua makes "greens vulnerable and inferior during the winter." Details the history of Poa annua and introduces technological advances that enabled these devices to increase the quality of turf. Presents a list of strategies to ensure the quality of turfgrass and states that "the true reason for Poa annua ingress into our fine turf putting surfaces was the creation of gaps in the turf." |
