| Abstract/Contents: | "Ultradwarf bermudagrass cultivars are widely used for putting greens due to their high shoot density, low mowing heights, and high-quality putting surface. However, successful management may require cultivar-specific annual N application rates and thatch control measures as compared to those used for the cultivar 'Tifdwarf'. This study evaluated the effects of N fertility, topdressing and vertical mowing on thatch development, shoot density and turf quality of five dwarf bermudagrass cultivars: Tifdwarf,'Champion', 'Floradwarf', 'Miniverde', and 'Tifeagle'. The study was conducted using a strip-split plot design and extended over a 63-month period. All treatments were replicated three times. Suggested optimum N fertilization rates for all five grasses in the study are 10 lbs of N per 1,000 ft2/year. This N rate should provide good-quality turf -- a high shoot density without excessive thatch accumulation. Floradwarf was most susceptible to high soil pH, followed by Champion. Careful soil pH management is needed when growing these cultivars. Frequent light vertical mowing was advantageous during the first year, but was detrimental to mature stands of ultradwarf cultivars when bermudagrass decline was active. Topdressing treatments used in this study were not sufficient to control thatch accumulation. When averaged across all treatments, thatch depth equal to or greater than 0.5 inch occurred by 42, 30, 42, 38, and 38 months after planting for Tifdwarf, Champion, Floradwarf, Miniverde, and Tifeagle, respectively." |
