| Source of Question: | Minnesota |

| Answer/Response: | "Creeping bent is not generally recommended for use on football fields. It has been tried in a number of cases on football fields but the results have usually not been satisfactory. Since with football the playing season comes when the growing season is over for the grass, scars left in the turf do not heal. Moreover, the stolons of creeping bent are apt to be a nuisance when played on with cleated shoes. Creeping bent thrives best on a slightly acid soil and is not likely to withstand much injury from alkali. There appear to be no records of its being able to keep out quack grass satisfactorily." |
