| Abstract/Contents: | Presents suggestions for fall golf course maintenance. States that "herbicides applied very early in the fall may allow the plant to recover and survive the winter." Mentions a study that "found that applications of 2,4-D and/or Dicamba were far more effective in controlling dandelions and Canada thistle when applied 1 to 10 days after the first frost than when applied 5 to 11 days before the frost. [The] researchers found that the herbicides indirectly reduced concentrations of total sugars, thus increasing the plants susceptibility to freezing temperatures and winterkill." Discusses Mad Tiller Disease, "or rapid etiolating of random Poa annua tillers during fall, seemst to be an annual event on Poa annua fairways." Suggests potential cultural control methods of the disease, including cutting "back to mowing once or twice per week. Light is critical to maximize photosynthesis that produces the energy needed for winter survival and spring performance." Also suggests "allowing turf to dry in the late season [because it] enhances winter hardiness when compared to well watered turf." |
