| Abstract/Contents: | "Lowering the mowing height of creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris, Huds.) greens to increase putting green speed is a common practice on golf courses, but subjects the turf to a high degree of stress. In this study the use of vertical mowing as a grooming process to increase putting green speed was evaluated. A 'Penncross' creeping bentgrass turf was established in 1986 on a 510 mm sand base green. The turf was subjected to three mowing height treatments (3.2, 4.0, and 4.8 mm) and three vertical mowing frequency treatments (none, 14, and 28 days) with sand topdressing applied every 14 days. Interactive effects of mowing height x vertical mowing frequency on putting green speed, color, quality, root production, soil temperature, canopy temperature and canopy reflectance were evaluated in 1989 and 1990. Canopy reflectance at two light wavelengths (0.6-0.7 micrometers and 0.8-1.1 micrometers) was used to calculate a normalized difference vegetation index which was correlated with mowing height. Color, quality, and the vegetation index increased with increasing mowing height while putting green speed, maximum daily soil temperature and canopy temperature decreased." |
