Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study sponsored by the United States Golf Association to "investigate [the] genetic color, density, turf quality, and divot recovery of eight bermudagrass cultivars." Details the methods and materials used in the study, stating that "industry standards Tifway, TifSport, Floratex, and Riviera were compared with newer cultivars Celebration, TifGrand, T11, and Hybrid1." Reports that "data has shown that under no traffic, Floratex and T11 recovered from divot damage faster than all other cultivars during the first two weeks." Concludes that "the results of this study are preliminary, as the majority of the 2010 data has yet to be collected; however, they do support the idea that there are better alternatives to Tifway for high traffic areas." |
