| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the potential benefits of painting dormant bermudagrass greens. Presents a study conducted "to evaluate the effects of three paints, three fall mowing heights before painting and applications of a plant growth regulator and foliar and granular fertilizers on ball-roll distance in winter, soil and surface temperatures, spring green-up, bermudagrass recovery and summer turf performance." Details methods and materials used in the study, stating that "the study was conducted from May 2005 to May 2007 at Clemson University, Clemson, [South Carolina] on TifEagle bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon Burtt-Davey x C. transvaalensis L.) established with sprigs in summer 2002 on a green constructed to USGA [United States Golf Association] recommendations." Details mowing treatments, fertilizer, and overseeding treatments, turf paints used, and data collection. Reports that "during the winter months, all painted plots and the foliar-fertilized overseeded plots provided statistically equal turfgrass or paint quality with average visual ratings of 6.6 or higher...Mowing height affected ball-roll distance, but there were no significant differences in ball-roll distance between painted treatments and dormant control treatments at the same mowing height." Concludes that "painting bermudagrass greens in winter provides adequate green color and playability and longer ball-roll distance compared to overseeded grass mowed at the same height." |
