| Abstract/Contents: | "A study was initiated March 31, 1989 on a sodded Kentucky bluegrass alley at the Hancock Turfgrass Research Center. The turf was still dormant with no green shoots and a high density of brown plants. A bagging rotary mower was used to mow at 1, 1.5 or 2.0 inches along with an unmowed treatment. Nitrogen applications were made across the mowing treatments at 0, 1 or 2 pounds per 1000 sq. ft. subsequent to the mowing treatment. After the treatment date all plots were mowed at the normal height of 2 inches." Green tissue was exposed with the shorter mowing heights, resulting in improved turf color for about 3 weeks when no nitrogen was applied. When nitrogen was applied at mowing time, turf quality ratings were better for closer mowing for about a month. "Any benefit from mowing short the first time would not likely occur if the grass is already green." |
