| Abstract/Contents: | Summarizes the potential benefits of converting golf course roughs from Kentucky bluegrass to a low input turf-type. Presents research conducted at the University of Minnesota "(1) To compare several methods for converting Kentucky bluegrass rough to no-mow, low input grasses and (2) to then determine the best turfgrass species for use in conversion." Details the materials and methods used in the study, stating that "four conversion methods were chosen based on standard equipment that golf courses would have on hand and the five grass species selected are easily available." Provides the initial results, reporting that "the fine fescue species have continually risen to the top...Based on overall stand quality, 'Minotaur' hard fescue repeatedly was the best performing turfgrass." Concludes that "this research project is a first step in looking at converting Kentucky bluegrass rough to no-mow, low-input grasses." |
