| Abstract/Contents: | "Careful selection of turfgrass species and varieties is important for Integrated Pest Management [Management] (IPM) of golf courses. Turfgrass variety testing in USA, UK and central Europe has limited relevance for the five Nordic countries due to different climatic condition and Nordic restrictions in pesticide use. The objective of this research was to find species and varieties of Agrostis, Festuca, Poa and Lolium that are suited for pesticide-free management of putting greens in the two major climatic zones of the Nordic countries. The four sites were Korpa GC, Reykjavik, Iceland (64.1°N, 21.9°W, 30 m a.s.l) and Bioforsk Apelsvoll, GjoØvik, Norway (60.7°N, 10.9°E, 250 m a.s.l.) in the the northern zone, and Bioforsk Landvik, Grimstad, Norway (58.°3N, 8.5°E, 12 m a.s.l.) and SydsjÆ lland GC, Mogenstrup, Denmark (55.2°N, 11.9°E, 11 m.a.s.l.) in the southern zone. The project was a continuation of similar proejcts [projects] in 2003-2006 and 2007-2010. A total of 40 varieties, inclucing [including] controls, of ten different species and subspecies were evaluated from seeding in July to September 2011 until November 2014. Except at Korpa GC where slow establishment required mowing at 7-10 mm in 2011 and 2012, the mowing height was 5 mm in F. rubra., Poa sp. and L. perenne, and 3-4 mm in Agrostis sp. Fertilizers were applied biweekly at an average seasonal rate of 11 g N m-2 in F. rubra, A. canina, A. capillaris and A. castellana, and 18 m-2 in L. perenne. A. Stolonifera and Poa sp. The greens were aerated, verticut and topdressed, but no pesticides were used. Except at Korpa GC, they greens were also subjected to wear from a greens-type wear machine. All varieties within a species were reseeded in spring if one or more of them had less than 20 % winter survival. The 1m x 1m plots were evaluated in the growing season for visual turf quality, tiller density, leaf fineness, color, percent of plot area covered by undiseased turf of the seeded species, percent of plot area infected by disease (identified if possible) and daily height increment. Abiotic and biotic winter damage were assessed in spring and percent of plot area covered by moss by the end of the project. The data were analysed by ANOVA and species and varieties within species were ranked, firstly for decreasing turf quality, secondly for increasing winter damage, thirdly for increasing infection of in-season disease and fourthly for increasing invasion of moss. On average for varieties within species, the ranking of species for overall turf quality at the two sites in the northern zone was: Poa supina>F.rubra ssp. commutata>F.rubra ssp.litoralis>A.canina> A.capillaris> A.stolonifera=Poa trivialis>L.perenne >A.castellana>Poa annua. Postive characteristics of Poa supine were good winter survival and high restistance to diseases, but the species had a course leaf texture, a high growth rate and a very light green color. On averaged for two sites in the southern zone, the ranking was F.rubra ssp. commutata=F.rubras ssp.litoralis=A.canina>A.stolonifera>L.perenne> A.capillaris>Poa supina>Poa trivialis>A.castellana>Poa annua. On average for all sites, Festuca rubra was more winter tolerant and less affected by in-season diseases, but F. Rubra ssp. commutata was less comptetitive [competitive] to mosses than Agrostis sp. and Poa sp." |
