| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study "beginning in the mid-90s, the objective [being] to decide what the safest rolling frequency was for a putting surface without causing detriment to the turfgrass plant or increasing compaction." Suggests "rolling three times per week"; "[alternating] lightweight roller methods"; and "alternating rolling and mowing", stating that "alternating mowing and...rolling [on a] daily basis included: Better turfgrass quality compared to mowing every day." Highlights rolling programs, warm-season turfgrass, and rolling/mowing height studies in 2008 on warm season grass pests. |
