| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted to "determine specific herbicide and seeding strategies that can be used to successfully convert existing cool season grass fairways to be improved low-mow Kentucky bluegrass varieties with minimal annual bluegrass infestation...[and] to determine the most cost effective strategy for converting existing cool season fairways to the new generation of improved low-mow Kentucky bluegrass varieties." Details methods and materials used in the study, stating that "the study was conducted at three golf course locations: Twin Pines Golf Course - Cory Shipment, Traer Country Club, Mike Eversten, and Homewood Golf Course - Kevin James/Nick Kray. There were 3 seeding dates (June, August, September), 2 seeding rates (2.5 and 5.0lbs [pounds]/1000sqft [square feet]), and 3 herbicide treatments (Pendulum at 1.5 lb ai [active ingredient]/A [Acre]...Mesotrione at 0.17 lb ai/A)." Reports that "the June and August seeding dates have completely filled with turf, but the mixture is dominated with approximately 80% annual bluegrass and 20% Kentucky bluegrass...The most promising observation has been with applications of Tenacity. After the first application of Tenacity in early October the annual bluegrass begins to yellow. After the second application of Tenacity the annual bluegrass turns white. After the third application of Tenacity the annual bluegrass turns brown and has begun to shrivel. If the annual bluegrass continues to decline then it appears that the September seeding of Kentucky bluegrass may dominate either Tenacity or Pendulum in this trial." |
