Abstract/Contents:Presents a study conducted "to determine the impact of polyethylene covers and painting on low-temperature injury and pace of spring greenup of four warm-season putting green turfs in the transition zone." Details methods and materials used during the experiment, stating that polyethylene covers "were randomly applied to one half of the plots for each of the green variety/species when the forecast low temperature was to be...[less than or equal to] 26 degrees Fahrenheit." Reports that polyethylene covers "increased turf surface temperature and soil temperature when used during cold periods." Concludes that "golf courses in the transition zone seeking to regrass their putting greens to a warm-season species should consider purchasing some sort of turf cover to ensure their greens survive the winter and emerge from dormancy quickly."
