| Abstract/Contents: | Describes a study entitled "Turfgrass Management Systems" conducted by the University of Wisconsin (UW) turfgrass research team. Explains that "rather than take the classical approach of varying only one of two cultural practices while attempting to keep all other practices constant, in this study the suite of cultural practices making up the production system was constantly varied to achieve the ultimate goal of maintaining different putting green speeds on a sustained basis." Highlights lessons learned from the study, including that "putting green speed is determined primarily by mowing height"; "the most effective way to temporarily increase speed is double cutting"; "putting green traffic tolerance increases with increasing mowing height and decreases with the amount of traffic"; and "mowing height has secondary effects on putting green quality." |
