Abstract/Contents:"Twenty-one Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) cultivars differed significantly in their thatching tendency during 4 years of study. 'Glade', 'Cheri' and 'Victa' accumulated the most thatch, while 'S-21', 'A-34' and 'Park' accumulated the least. Increasing mowing heights from 2.5 cm to 5.0 cm significantly increased the tendency to accumulate thatch. Increasing nitrogen nutritional levels from 10 gm-2 to 20 gm-2 did not increase thatching tendency."
