| Abstract/Contents: | "Ultradwarf bermudagrasses [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. x C. transvaalensis Burt Davy] are commonly planted on golf course greens. Their dense stoloniferous growth habit can quickly contribute to a build-up of organic matter at the surface. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impacts of selected cultural practices on ultradwarf bermudagrass putting green surface characteristics. Three ultradwarf cultivars, FloraDwarf, TifEagle, and Champion, were subjected to the following cultural management treatments: hollow tine aerification (one, two, or three times), verticutting (three times), solid tine aerification (five times), and a control. Grasses and treatments were arranged in a split-plot, randomized complete block design. Putting green properties analyzed included: turfgrass quality, recovery, surface firmness, mower scalping and localized dry spot (LDS). Although verticutting sometimes exhibited excess surface disruption, it was the best treatment used in this study. When verticutting plots fully recovered, they had the highest quality, firmest surface, least mower scalping and lowest localized dry spot severity. Three-time hollow tine aerification, however, had the greatest incidence of LDS. TifEagle was considered the best grass studied, as it had highest overall quality, least mower scalping and LDS." |
