| Question: | "This season all the grass in our creeping bent nursery seems to be going to seed. Can this tendency be discouraged? If not, does it harm the stolons?" |

| Source of Question: | Ohio |

| Answer/Response: | "We do not know of any way in which the tendency of creeping bent stolons to produce seed in a nursery can be discouraged except by cutting them with a mower. However, this does not always work, because so much of the seed is produced so close to the ground that it is difficult to reach the seed heads with a mower under nursery conditions without injuring the grass. We have found that stolons or plants which have produced seed are just as satisfactory for planting, but the growth of the stolons is somewhat checked during the time the seed is being produced. If nurseries are left for a long time in the same area, seed production is objectionable since the seed does not produce plants identical with the parent. Grass planted from stolons produced from seed formed in the nursery might be undesirable." |
