| Abstract/Contents: | "With the forthcoming registration of Roundup-ready creeping bentgrass (RRCB), optimum means of establishment must be determined. Research trials were initiated to determine if an existing bentgrass fairway could be transitioned to RRCB utilizing sublethal rates of Roundup and various seedbed preparation techniques. The idea to be tested was that sublethal rates of Roundup could be utilized along with seedbed preparation to allow RRCB to establish while maintaining an acceptable playing surface allowing a course to remain open for play during the transition. Sublethal Roundup rates were also staggered at various timings around seeding to determine if the initial application timing was crucial. Additionally, seedbed preparation techniques included vertical mowing in two directions, vertical mowing in two directions in combination with core aerification, and no seedbed preparation. The results included the following: Establishment of RRCB by interseeding into existing creeping bentgrass did not allow for a timely transition to RRCB. We were unable to maintain an acceptable playing surface during the transition to RRCB utilizing sublethal Roundup rates and various seedbed preparation techniques. Interseeding new and improved bentgrass cultivars into existing bentgrass is most likely not a successful practice, regardless of seedbed preparation. RRCB establishes similarly to non-transgenic bentgrass cultivars when seeded into conventionally prepared seedbed." |
