| Abstract/Contents: | "Poa supina Schard. (supina bluegrass) has intensified for use as a turfgrass in the northern United States and Canada in recent years due to its aggressive stoloniferous growth habit, and exceptional shade tolerance. Unfortunately a lot of the management for supina bluegrass is hearsay; particularly, optimum mowing heights are not well documented. The objective of this study determines its approriate mowing height range under traffic on a loam soil. Three mowing heights, 15, 30, and 60 mm were compared over a four-year study. Plots were also subjected to simulated fall athletic field traffic each of the fours years using a Brinkman Traffic Simulator and compared to plots recieving no simulated traffic. After four years, this study showed that mowing at 30 and 60 mm provided acceptable turf cover for simulated traffic conditions. However, because uniformity is reduced at the 60 mm mowing height, the 30 mm height is suggested for optimal performance and aesthetics. Supina bluegrass mown at 15 mm tolerated the low mowing height, but is not recommended for areas subjected to athletic type traffic. In addition, supina bluegrass mown at 15 mm and not trafficked was subjected to creeping bentgrass encroachment. Furthermore, turfgrass shear strength decreased over time as mowing height decreased." |
