Question:"Our putting greens were established with Penn G-2 creeping bentgrass in a semi-arid region of the West that typically has snow cover five months of the year. Would there be any advantage to overseeding Penn A-4 creeping bentgrass or another cultivar into the greens during aeration and topdressing operations to create a denser, more vigorous and heat- and cold-tolerant stand?"
Source of Question:Utah
Answer/Response:"Field observations generally suggest that interseeding of creeping bentgrass into an established stand of putting green turf is not very successful. Plant competition, traffic, daily mowing, irrigation regimes, and other routine maintenance practices to keep the greens in play are not conducive to seedling establishment. If the existing stand thins significantly, some success can be realized if adjustments are made to the maintenance programs that favor seedling establishment. Otherwise, regrassing via stripping and sodding or eliminating the existing turf with non-selective herbicide and planting a new cultivar are the best means to switch grasses."
