| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses coarse grass weeds found on golf greens during the early 1980s in New Zealand. Focuses on sweet vernal (Anthoxanthum odoratum), Yorkshire fog (Holcus lanatus), and ryegrass (Lolium perenne). States that "Yorkshire fog and sweet vernal can be easily distinguished by the hairiness of their leaves." Considers the potential effectiveness of several types of mower combs, suggesting that "mower combs should be adjusted so they only lightly comb the surface of the turf and stand up coarse grasses." Details several possible means of control, including topdressing, mowing, dethatching, and verticutting. |
