Details methods and materials used in the study, stating that "overseeding was carried out manually with the following species and cultivars: Lolium perenne cv 'Fairway' (Lp1 ); Lolium perennne cv 'Vantage' (Lp2 ); Lolium multiflorum cv 'Pollanum' (Lm ); Poa trivialis cv 'Winterplay'(Pt ); Festuca rubra commutata cv 'Ombretta' (Frc ); Festuca rubra tricophylla cv 'Seabreeze' (Frt ); [and] Agrostis stolonifera cv 'Penncross' (As )." Concludes that "trial results showed the possibility of using 'Tifdwarf' hybrid bermudagrass overseeded with cool-season species for the establishment of putting greens in Central Italy. Resulting greens generally show good quality, colour [color] and density, even if performing as 'slow' according to USGA [United States Golf Association] green speed rating."
