Abstract/Contents: | Discusses "two mower maintenance studies...held at the Hancock Turfgrass Research Center [at Michigan State University, Michigan] during the growing season of 2006." Explains that "'Crenshaw' was the chosen bentgrass cultivar due to its susceptibility to dollar spot." States that "study 1 ran for three weeks and was used to compare three different bedknife thicknesses and the effect they had on playability." Reports that "there was no statistical decrease in quality between any of the bedknifes, in fact the lots mowed with the thickest bedknife resulted in the poorest numerical quality." States that "data collection included: green speed measurement, clipping collection, weekly quality ratings, and dollar spot counts." |
