| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses intraseeding, stating that "the failures outnumber the successes by a wide margin." Suggests that "those turf managers that set up a plan to intra seed have the most success rather than those that just run out with the seeder at the first crack of cool weather." Lists reasons a turf manager may want to intra seed, including "to increase density" and "to increase the overall disease resistance." Compares the possible strengths and weaknesses of Poa annua, including "it disrupts the uniformity of any course" and "shoot density declines during the summer months." Discusses methods that may help to control Poa annua, suggesting that turf managers "look for grasses that match color wise, are adaptable to...mowing and nutrient regimes, and offer strengths to maintain themselves against the problems of disease, high traffic, high heat and cold tolerance." Discusses seeding dates, stating that "the time to seed is at the end of May through the beginning of July." States that the next steps are "to determine the seeding rate" and "placing seed where moisture levels are highest." Also states that "once established, the use of an herbicide designed to control Poa annua will help to control its encroachment and reestablishment of this weed." Concludes that "there are some suberb varieties available...and if incorporated into a successful overseeding program, improved stands of existing turf are possible without the disruption of total renovation. The long-term results equate to reduced maintenance and improved playing surfaces for all." |
