Abstract/Contents: | "Golf-greens in cool climates are often mixtures of annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.) and creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris Huds.) coexisting as a dynamic ecosystem. Observations on three golf-greens in east-central Minnesota indicate that distinct population fluctuations, or rhythms, occur that define the character of a green at any point in time during the growing season. These rhythms appear to be controlled by the interplay of biological processes (genetics and physiology) inherent in the species and environmental conditions as modified by cultural practices. The effective management of a golf-green, whether the goal is to favor one species over another or to promote a healthy mix, must be based on an understanding of these ecosystem dynamics." |
