| Abstract/Contents: | "Previous studies have demonstrated reduced turf quality when grasses are mowed at lower heights or subjected to heavy traffic. These results may be exacerbated in cool-season grasses during summer months due to increased environmental stresses. Although low mowing heights and heavy traffic have been evaluated as individual factors, research is lacking on the effect of turf quality when these stress factors are combined. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of mowing height (0.100, 0.125, or 0.156 inch bench height setting), rolling frequency (0, 3, or 6 days per week), and foot traffic on turf quality and coverage of two creeping bentgrass cultivars (SR 1020 and Penn G-2) managed as a putting green. Initially, the highest mowing height had the worst turf quality for both cultivars due to the overabundance of foliar tissue that reduced uniformity. Penn G-2 plots mowed at 0.125 inch had higher turf quality ratings in July and September compared to plots maintained at 0.156 inch, whereas SR 1020 plots at the highest height maintained better turf quality than lower mowing heights on those dates. Significant differences in turfgrass coverage were not observed until the final month, although there was a large reduction in coverage from June to July. Therefore, treatment differences in September may have occurred due to slowing recovery rather than physical damage or injury due to treatments." |
