| Abstract/Contents: | Suggests potential practices for maintaining Poa annua putting greens and tees, stating that "Poa annua greens at their best provide the highest quality putting surfaces and this is due to the dense, tight sward that Poa annua produces." Describes mowing, thatch control, fertilizer management, disease management, irrigation, cultivation and root maintenance, and seed head control on Poa annua putting greens. Also describes Poa annua tee maintenance, stating that "tees are high wear areas of the golf course, particularly where there is iron play. The ability of the turf to recover from this wear depends on construction, tee size, grass species, aspect and maintenance." Concludes that "Poa annua is a significant component of many turf surfaces and in the case of putting greens can be the preferred turf species. Where the dominant biotype is Poa annua reptans it arguably produces the highest quality putting surface, however, it does require an intensive level of management. The greatest challenge is sustaining good surface quality during periods of heat stress...Poa annua dominated swards on tees are to be avoided. In terms of wear management the turf species has a relatively small influence compared to tee area, aspect, construction and traffic management." |
