| Abstract/Contents: | "Annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.) is probably the most common turf species found on golf courses around the world. Golf course superintendents in Southern California often manage Poa annua as the major turf species on their greens. Researchers at Pennsylvania State University have collected Poa annua germplasm from all over the world and have been breeding them to develop desirable traits for use on putting greens. Experiments were conducted at the Industry Hills Golf Course and at the California State Polytechnic University, Pomona to evaluate the growth and development of these new cultivars from Penn Sate University. Some of the Poa annua cultivars were slow in germination and establishment, but cultivars like PSU 97-1-9 and PSU 98-2-16 were quick in germinating and establishing in the plots at both locations. Most of the Poa annua cultivars were adversely affected during the summer heat during the first year of the trial in both locations, but most entries came back in the fall and were well established in the plots by spring of the following year at the Cal Poly Pomona site. Overall, though there were some variations in germination, percent coverage, turf color, quality, leaf texture, tiller numbers and number of seedheads among the Poa annua cultivars, some of the cultivars like PSU 98-4-21, PSU 99- 1-10 and PSU 97-1-3 have a great potential to be used on golf course putting greens even when grown under warmer growing conditions like Southern California." |
