| Abstract/Contents: | "This study, jointly funded by the United States Golf Association, the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America, and the National Turfgrass Evaluation Program, is the second national trial of grasses used to overseed bermudagrass fairways. This trial was conducted from September 2004 through July 2006 and compares 31 cultivars, blends, and mixtures for overseeding when tested under actual golf course conditions. This study's findings include: Many perennial ryegrasses perform well in overseeding and often ther is no statistical difference among the entries. Poa trivialis is slower to establish than perennial ryegrass, and it seems that when Poa trivialis is weekened due to heat or disease, it disappears quickly. Intermediate ryegrass cultivars are available now with quality closer to perennial ryegrass but with tendencies to transition earlier. Transition from the overseeding grass to bermdagrass in spring is rarely smooth and is affected greatly by the weather patterns. In the cooler, more northern sites, grasses that are strong going into winter may not have as much bermudagrass returning in spring. When the overseeding grass dies, there may not be sufficient bermudagrass to provide adequate cover and quality." |
