| Abstract/Contents: | "Overseeding is a common practice used by turf managers in the southern and transition zone to provide actively growing, green turf surfaces during the winter dormancy of warm-season grasses such as bermudagrass. The most commonly used turf species for overseeding is perennial ryegrass due to its excellent turf quality and rapid establishment. Continued improvements in perennial ryegrasses have resulted in cultivars that persist into the summer and interfere with the spring green-up of bermudagrass. Two new turf species, meadow fescue and tetraploid perennial ryegrass, have demonstrated good turf characteristics in overseeding as well as easier spring transition. Turf managers often employ various cultural practices to hasten the spring transition of an overseeded species back to bermudagrass. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of some commonly used cultural practices, including aerification, scalping, vertical mowing and a combination of scalping and vertical mowing, on the transition of these new species. Cultural practices did not improve spring transition period to bermudagrass regardless of the overseeding species." |
