| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses green management practices, suggesting that "low mowing heights, more water, and more fungicides have more than likely increased the percentage of Poa annua." Suggests that "[maintenance crews] are simply pushing old greens too far...heights of cut at or below 1/10 [inch] from early in spring until a week or so before snow mold fungicides are applied, double cutting and/or rolling 5-7 times a week, and sole reliance on a starvation diet of liquid fertilizer." States that "one option that needs to be considered is regrassing the greens with an improved cultivar of bentgrass." |
