Abstract/Contents: | States that "ten days worth of unseasonably warm weather...set the stage for another season of epic turf stress." Explains that one severe shift in temperature may cause major turf loss in Poa greens. Addresses the challenges involved with maintaining a Poa annua course in rapidly changing weather conditions, noting that "a significant percentage of the mid-to-upper end Chicago courses have either fumigated/regrassed or have completely rebuilt greens to convert from Poa to improved cultivars of bentgrass during the past 10 to 15 years." |
