Question: | "When should over seeding be done in bentgrass greens which are highly infested with Poa annua?" |
Answer/Response: | "The purpose for overseeding with additional bentgrass is to increase the relative population of bentgrass to Poa annua. Normally, seeding would be done either in the fall or spring. Seeding during these two seasons should not be discredited or discontinued. However, it is felt that much can be gained from summer overseeding. The procedure followd [followed] has been to either power spike in two or three directions to open the turf and permit more seed to contact the soil or to use a verticut with the reel disengaged to accomplish the same effect. Should a summer aerification be warranted, such an overseeding could be made concurrently. Inasmuch as a very close observation is essential during the summer and especially if the greens are aerified, the possibility of losing seedlings due to drying is reduced greatly. The rate to seed should be in the range of two or three pounds of seed per 1000 square feet. While this program has helped most of those who have tried it, it does not represent a cure-all for Poa annua. Rather it is possibly another step in management to discourage Poa annua." |
