| Question: | "How can we control Bermuda grass in putting greens of bent grass?" |
|---|
| Source of Question: | Tennessee |
|---|
| Answer/Response: | "It is probable that if the Bermuda grass is weeded out of the putting greens by hand as soon as it begins to appear in the spring, and a careful watch is maintained through the spring and summer to keep the greens clean, they may be effectively rid of the Bermuda grass. You will probably find that much of the Bermuda grass has winterkilled and that comparatively little will be left in the putting greens to weed out in the spring. Your conditions in Tennessee are doubtless similar to those in Oklahoma, where there are many beautiful putting greens of seaside creeping bent grass. In those putting greens the Bermuda grass starts out with only a few scattered patches in the spring, but by fall it has sometimes taken over large areas on the putting greens. The putting greens, however, are played on over winter and a great deal of the Bermuda grass winter kills so that by the following spring there are only a few scattered patches left. These patches again increase in the summer until gradually the Bermuda grass takes over more and more of the bent putting greens. The plants should therefore be removed before they have a chance to spread." |
