Abstract/Contents: | Discusses a no-till method of ultradwarf bermudagrass putting green conversion, stating that no-till planting "can be described as the replacement of the turfgrass on a putting green with minimal disruption to the underlying rootzone. No-till planting is popular because it lowers costs and requires less downtime compared with complete construction." Details a no-till process, focusing on killing the existing turfgrass; aggressive aeration; turfgrass removal; and fumigation. Describes potential benefits of converting putting greens to ultradwarf bermudagrass. |
