| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the use of creeping bentgrass (CBG) on putting greens, stating that "due to growing concerns over chemical fertilizer and pesticide use on turfgrass and increasing regulation of these inputs, there is rising interest in the use of alternative, low-input turfgrasses for putting greens." Suggests that velvet bentgrass (VBG) has the potential to be an excellent lower input alternative to CBG" because of its ability to tolerate low inputs and "recent research suggests that VBG has good resistance to the fungal disease dollar spot." States that "research also suggests that in addition to requiring reduced pesticide inputs, velvet bentgrass can perform well under reduced nitrogen fertility." Reports that research "concluded that seeding rate is largely related to turf quality, but not dry weight over time" and that "preliminary results suggest that the variety performed best with...high nitrogen treatment, perhaps indicating that velvet prefers a higher amount of N [nitrogen] at establishment." |
