Abstract/Contents: | "Creeping (Agrostis stolonifera L.) and velvet (A. canina L.) bentgrasses are used for golf course turf but study of performance under traffic is limited. This field study evaluated performance of bentgrass species and cultivars subjected to traffic and the relative resistance to annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.) encroachment on a sand-based root zone. The trial was seeded May 1999 on a sand-sphagnum peat root zone managed as putting green turf. Two velvet bentgrasses and 13 creeping bentgrasses were subjected to four traffic stress levels: none, wear, compaction, and wear plus compaction. Turf was assessed for quality, density, and species composition during 2000, 2001, and 2002. Soil physical properties were assesed in 2003. As expected, wear plus compaction treatment had the most detrimental effect on soil physical properties and turf performance, and resulted in the greatest invasion of annual bluegrass. Wear treatment was more detrimental to turf performance and soil physical properties than compaction. Thus, bentgrass was relatively tolerant of compaction treatment and more resistant to annual bluegrass encroachment as long as turf density was maintained. Cultivars that produced high turf density performed best under traffic stresses and limited annual bluegrass encroachment. The velvet bentgrass, 'Vesper' and 'SR 7200', had very good performance under traffic as did the creeping bentgrass, 'Penn A-4' and 'Penn G-2'. Cultivar performance was generally independent of the level of traffic; therefore the relative performance differences among these cultivars on sand-based putting greens should be similar whether traffic stress is limited or more intense." |
