| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the difficulties encountered by golf course superintendents attempting to control Poa annya. States that "to achieve a Poa annua-free turf, is difficult and well nigh impossible but it can be done." Explains that "wherever soil is compressed and air forced out of the pore spaces, bentgrass roots give up the ghost and make room for...Poa annua." Suggests that "the answer is aeration, a beautiful physical process which is completely safe environmentally, but also the most hated practice from a golfer's point of view." Briefly discusses the practice of tining in conjunction with aeration. |
