Abstract/Contents: | Discusses winterkill, highlighting potential prevention methods. States that "due to the unpredictability of environmental factors, and differences in other factors such as drainage, the occurrence of winterkill on golf courses is variable and can vary greatly between golf courses and even across the same golf course." Profiles the various types of winterkill, including crown hydration, desiccation, low temperature kill, ice sheets, and snow mold. Suggests that "the key to preventing or reducing the incidence of crown hydration injury is good drainage." Also suggests that "if snow mold injury is a recurring problem, preventative fungicide applications are the best control option." States that "depending on the extent of damage, either seeding or sodding may be necessary to facilitate recovery...The best results with inter-seeding have occurred when the low mow, high density type creeping bentgrasses, such as the A and G series bentgrasses, have been used." Concludes that "keys to success for renovating winterkilled areas are to divert traffic from newly seeded areas, apply light fertilizer applications to stimulate growth, and irrigate to ensure that the seedbed or sod is moist throughout the establishment period." |
