Question:"What is Cocoos bent? What type of putting green turf does it make? Does it require special cultural treatment?"
Source of Question:Ohio
Answer/Response:"Cocoos is a trade name for seaside creeping bent, Agrostis palustris (Agrostis maritima). The name is derived from an abbreviation of "county" and "Coos," since large areas of this bent are found growing naturally in Coos County, Oregon. Seaside creeping bent is also grown in adjacent territory and some is now being harvested from the eastern part of North America. This bent creeps by stolons similar to other creeping bents, such as Washington and Metropolitan. Although turf from seaside creeping bent does not usually form as dense a turf as some of the well-known strains of creeping bent planted from stolons, it has the advantage of less nap or grain than the common stolon-planted bents have when not properly cared for. In other words, under average care the turf from seaside creeping bent seed is likely to require less top-dressing, raking, and similar treatment than some creeping bents planted from stolons. Under certain conditions seaside creeping bent becomes infected with either or both large and small brown-patch. Its average resistance to or degree of immunity from either disease seems to place it between the Washington and Metropolitan strains of creeping bent."
