Abstract/Contents:Presents interviews with "a couple of South Florida superintendents about their ultrdwarf or paspalum-management programs." Questions the change to Mini-verde. States that they "picked Mini-Verde because the UTEP (University of Texas at El Paso) trails seemed to show it was the best grass, plus they had been running our own trials with the TifEagle and didn't like some of the things we saw." Reports that a nationally recognized expert on ultrad dwarfs was brought." Suggests "most people with ultradwarfs do not top dress enough." Reports that there was "no problem achieving the same green speed with paspalum as [the] bermuda. There was some disease pressure this winter, and found solid-tine aerification and top dressing every two or three weeks was a big help. When the weather warmed up, [they] sprayed Gibberellic acid on the greens and an immediate, poitive response occured."
