| Question: | "We have both Columbia bent and Washington bent stolons in our nursery. Would there be any harm in mixing the two strains in planting them on our greens?" |

| Source of Question: | Kentucky |

| Answer/Response: | "The treatment you suggest would prove very unsatisfactory. The Columbia strain of creeping bent is not sufficiently resistant to disease to give satisfaction in putting greens; moreover, it forms a rather stringy, light turf which is not conducive to good putting. The Washington strain is so superior that in all likelihood it would eventually crowd out the Columbia strain, but while this is taking place you would have patchy greens, as the Columbia would become thin and diseased at times when the Washington would be in good condition. Furthermore, when the Columbia remains thin from one cause or another white clover and weeds are certain to gain a foothold before the Washington strain has a chance to occupy the thin spots." |
