| Abstract/Contents: | "Few mowing and rolling studies have evaluated the effect of these practices on rooting characteristics. Root scanning technology produces a myriad of data from a single sample, including cumulative root length, specific area, and root diameter. The objective of this study was to evaluate these rooting parameters under mowing, rolling, and foot traffic. Root samples of SR 1020 and Penn G-2 creeping bentgrass were collected in June and August 2010 and analyzed using the WinRHIZO system. Cumulative root length, root diameter, and dry root mass were reduced drastically from June to August for both cultivars. However, few significant differences among treatments were observed for samples collected on the individual dates. Plots of SR 1020 receiving foot traffic had significantly less cumulative root length and dry root mass compared to SR 1020 plots that were not exposed to extra foot traffic on the August sampling date. There were trends in the data that suggested more rooting at higher mowing heights, but the differences were not statistically significant at α = 0.05. This research will give golf course superintendents managing creeping bentgrass in the transition zone rooting data that can be used when selecting appropriate management practices for their putting greens during summer heat stress." |
