| Question: | "We thought we had greens comprising a fairly well blended mix of bent with some annual meadow-grass until this summer when a number of small patches of coarser grass appeared. Can you tell us what grass it is and what we can do to get rid of it?" |
|---|
| Answer/Response: | " The grass species has been identified as perennial ryegrass, a species commonly used in pasture for animal grazing, although modern finer turf types have been bred specifically for use on winter games pitches for its hard wearing quality. The varieties seen most commonly on golf greens, tees and fairways are of agricultural origin, rogue grasses blown in on the wind or establishing in areas of weak turf cover. Such grasses have stood out strongly through this dry summer, their coarse, patchy nature evident amongst weakening drought-prone annual meadow-grass and slow growing fine bent and fescue. Control of coarse ryegrass is achieved by regular verticutting and/or turf grooming - treatments which have had to be postponed more often than not through the drought, to prevent inducing further stress on an already weakened sward. Fairly severe autumn and spring verticutting treatments will be necessary to make-up for time lost during the summer. Removing plugs of turf infested with coarse grass, using a golf hole cutter, is only viable if the problem is localised involving a small number of individual plants. If such a situation is the case then plugging will be useful, ensuring that you introduce turf made up of the desirable bent and fescue species." |
