Abstract/Contents: | "To provide optimum playing surfaces, many golf courses have used ultradwarf bermudagrass [Cynodon transvaalensis Burtt Davy x C. dactylon (L.) Pers.] cultivars for greens, although little is known about regionally defined cultural management. A 4-yr experiment was conducted in southern Florida, on a US Golf Association (USGA)-specified green to examine the effect of topdressing and vertical mowing frequency on ultradwarf bermudgrass cultivars Champion, TifEagle, and FloraDwarf for primarily quality, growth, tissue N and K, and ball roll distance. Weekly topdressing during the wet season enhanced quality and reduced the presence of disease-like symptoms. TifEagle increased aboveground growth when topdressed weekly compared with Champion and FloraDwarf. As the green aged, however, topdressing biweekly during dry-season months became important for maintaining quality. Influence of vertical mowing on all observations and measurements were minimal and not consistent from season to season. Further long-term research is needed to determine how changing mechanical management on a seasonal basis can optimize ultradwarf bermudgrass for quality, vigor, and performance" |
