Abstract/Contents:"Creeping bentgrass continues to be the prevailing turfgrass species used for golf course putting greens throughout northern and central Arkansas. However, it is rarely used for tees or fairways in this region. Identifying cultivars that are well adapted to Arkansas under tee/fairway conditions may provide viable alternatives for golf course superintendents with shaded tees in northern regions of Arkansas. A bentgrass cultivar trial, including selections of creeping and colonial bentgrass was planted in the fall of 2008 at the University of Arkansas Research and Extension Center (Fayetteville, Ark.). Turfgrass quality was evaluated monthly and turfgrass color and density were evaluated once in 2009. Significant differences existed among the cultivars for all evaluations. Towards the end of the 2009 growing season, Benchmark DSR and T-I were the commercially available cultivars that had the best quality, darkest color, and finest leaf texture. This trial will be evaluated for the next several years as these cultivars mature."
