Abstract/Contents:Reports a study conducted to "evaluate mowing heights and vertical mowing frequencies as cultural practices for 'De Anza' and 'Victoria' zoysiagrass." Describes the mowing methods, stating that "verticutting was applied using a Ryan Renithin or a Ryan Mataway with blades just above the soil surface" and that "first drop readings were recorded for 3 areas per replication. Data were analyzed using ANOVA [Analysis of Variance] and GLM [General Linear Models]." Reports that "repeated vertical mowing reduced sponginess and increased firmness by 16% in the summer and by 34% in the fall." Concludes that "lower mowing height and vertical mowing act to control thatch with mowing height having more effect than vertical mowing."
