Abstract/Contents:Discusses the development of Roundup Ready creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera) (RRCB), stating that it "is a product of The Scotts Co. and Monsanto that is similar to Roundup Ready agricultural crops." Announces that "if Roundup Ready creeping bentgrass is approved and receives federal registration, it will be the first genetically modified turfgrass." Reports that "much research has been initiated to investigate various applications as well as potential areas of concern associated with RRCB." States that "upon the registration and approval of RRCB, golf course superintendents would have the opportunity to incorporate RRCB into new golf course construction or renovate existing playing surfaces. Once RRCB is established, superintendents would be allowed to incorporate Roundup into their weed-control management plans." Cautions that "weed-control programs in RRCB should not soley rely on Roundup...[but] it would...be a valuable tool in managing hard-to-control perennial and annual weeds." Mentions research trials "initiated to determine if an existing Penncross bentgrass fairway could be renovated with RRCB utilizing nodestructive seedbed preparation in combination with sublethal Roundup applications." Results indicate that "interseeding RRCB into an existing Penncross creeping bentgrass fairway does not provide a timely transition regardless of seedbed preparation technique or Roundup application regime."
