| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted by researchers from the University of Guelph to find ways to maintain turfgrass coverage in high traffic areas using cultural methods. Details the methods used in the study, stating that overseeding at different intervals with various levels of perennial ryegrass and supina bluegrass were tested for cover as well as mowing heights to increase turf cover. Reports that higher levels of Poa supina seed, overseeding every 6 weeks, and cutting to a lower height with higher frequency led to greater turf cover. Concludes that "overseeding appears to help in maintaining turfgrass coverage," and that "mowing height plays an important role in maintaining turfgrass quality as well, but whether this is due to mowing frequency or height of cut or a combination of both factors is not determinable form the presented data." |
