Abstract/Contents: | "This topic, no doubt would be of most interest to a turf professional involved with home lawn care or with keeping other small, highly maintained turf areas. Recent discussions in a few turfgrass publications have covered the collection of clippings of golf course fairways. This presentation will be directed in part to that practice, as well as to the desirability of collecting or not collecting clippings on small turf areas. A current trend of the working turf professional and researcher is toward minimum-maintenance turf. As little care as possible with as little reduction in turf quality as possible is a common goal. Our research with turfgrass at Colorado State University has mostly been directed toward solving water, soils, high pH, high salt, and cold-temperature problems. But a three-year study on clipping removal supported in part by the The Toro Company provided some valuable information on this subject. Information gained from that study as well as from other university research and general observations will be discussed below." |
