Abstract/Contents: | "Thatch accumulation can negatively impact ultradwarf bermudagrass putting greens. Frequent sand topdressing is often used to manage thatch accumulation; however, the high shoot density and aggressive growth of ultradwarf bermudagrass often inhibits the successful incorporation of sand topdressing into the turf canopy. Research was conducted to evaluate brushing, vibratory rolling, and brushing + vibratory rolling as methods of incorporating topdressing sand into the canopy of a 'TifEagle' ultradwarf bermudagrass putting green. Sand topdressing was applied biweekly during the summer with brushing, vibratory rolling alone, and brushing + vibratory rolling used as incorporation methods. Brushing + vibratory rolling resulted in less sand removed from the turf surface by mowing after topdressing than other treatments and produced higher surface hardness values than rolling alone or the control. However, neither thatch depth nor soil organic matter content were affected by topdressing incorporation method. This study shows that the combination of brushing + vibratory rolling can be a successful method of incorporating sand topdressing into dense ultradwarf bermudagrass putting greens." |
