| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles ultradwarf bermudagrass cultivars, noting that "in the late 1990s, ultradwarf bermudagrass cultivars challenged the dominance of Tifdwarf on warm-season golf courses. In 2008, they are the cultivars of choice on a southern [United States] golf course." Explains that "it has not been uncommon to find apparent mutant off-type plants in ultradwarf production fields...this article considers several questions about mutations in bermudagrass putting green cultivars." Reports that "if a mutant plant with growth characteristics similar to or more dwarf than an ultradwarf occurs in a sprig field, the mutant may persist, but should not expand." Concludes that "utradwarf putting greens have a good track record of providing excellent putting surfaces with no indication of deterioration due to putting green mutations." |
