| Abstract/Contents: | Describes Cynodon hybrids from United States breeding programs that are used on many Australian courses, claiming that "the finer, denser, and lower growing habit of the 'ultradwarf' cultivars allows very low mowing heights (e.g. 2.5 millimeters) to be imposed, resulting in denser and smoother putting and bowls surfaces." Details the development of cultivars on various courses throughout the country and explains how the developed cultivar varieties "require intensive management for thatch control and behave differently...in terms of their response to mowing height, nitrogen fertilizer rates, and even winter over-seeding." Provides details on the characteristics, disease susceptibility, degree of necessary thatch control, grooming, topdressing, mowing, response to herbicides and insecticides, and nutritional requirements for both the Cynodon hybrids and seashore paspalum. Concludes that "introduction of the newer Cynodon hybrids and greens quality seashore paspalums will be dependent on largely one component: thatch accumulation and successful management being undertaken from a very early stage in the grow-in of the greens." |
