| Question: | "We have been applying ammonium sulfate for exterminating chickweed in our putting greens, and used the chemical strong enough to burn the grass. What would you advise to bring these burned spots back to life? Would the use of spiked roller followed by the sowing of bent seed and then by a light topdressing be beneficial?" |

| Answer/Response: | "We know of no very successful means of quickly restoring dead spots in putting greens other than sodding. If your dead spots are more than 6 inches in diameter we would suggest that they be resodded, taking the turf from the edge of the green. Seed sown on old turf in midsummer does not as a rule produce satisfactory results. Better results could be obtained by plugging in runners of creeping bent, but even this should be done later in the season. If your spots are not over 6 inches in diameter, a light topdressing might help to restore the turf, depending on how badly it is injured. We would not advise the use of a spiked roller. We have tried various kinds of spiked rollers and other similar implements that puncture or tear the turf, and have concluded that their use is not to be advised." |
