| Abstract/Contents: | "Researchers from Kansas State University and Oklahoma State University team up with a savvy golf course superintendent to evaluate how effectively a perennial ryegrass turf could be converted to 'Riviera' bermudagrass in small plots, and then develop a strip seeder that would allow the conversion to be accomplished on a larger scale. The study's findings include: Perennial ryegrass plots that were broadcast seeded with 'Riviera' had 12% bermudagrass coverage at the end of the first year and 60% coverage at the end of the second. The strip-seeding method, although disturbing only 11% of the plot area at planting, resulted in 41% bermudagrass coverage by Oct. 2002 and 71% coverage by Oct. 2003. Two primary advantages of strip seeding bermudagrass are: 1) there is little interruption in use of the turf, and on a golf course this would allow for revenue flow to continue during the conversion process; and 2) as much as to 80% less seed (on a weight basis) is required, compared with converting the perennial ryegrass turf by broadcasting bermudagrass seed. Savings are also realized on other practices associated with seedbed preparation prior to a broadcast application of seed. A U.S. patent is pending on the strip seeding method and equipment." |
