| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted to determine the possible effects of mowing and fertilizer application on grass development. Details methods and materials used in the study, stating that the first experiment was a greenhouse trial and "three common golf course grasses were selected for the work, namely, Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis), red fescue (Festuca rubra), and Colonial bent (Agrostis capillaris)." States that in the second study "wooden boxes of approximately one cubic foot volume were obtained. These were filled with a mixture of eight parts of black soil, two parts of quartz sand, and one part of leaf mold...Fertilizer applications were made once per month during January, February, and March." Reports that "it appears as if the nitrogen had resulted in increased top growth in all cases except the short clipped bluegrass. The fesuce which was cut short tillered more than that cut long. That cut at medium height, however, had the most desirable leaf blades from a golf course view-point." Also reports that "mowers should be raised on fairways where the cutting treatment is proving dangerous, and cutting should be discontinued in the fall as early as possible in order that the plants may store foods for use during the season of short and frequent clipping." |
