| Abstract/Contents: | "Timing of mowing and height of cut is often disputed. Many people mow lawns on a time base interval. While this practice is common, the traditional recommendation is to remove no more than 33% of the leaf tissue at each mowing event. There is limited scientific evidence to support this one third rule. Therefore, this study was set up to determine how different tall fescue and buffalograss mowing heights and frequencies affect the number of mowing events, cumulative clipping yields, and turf grass quality during a growing season. This study was a split block design with 3replicates. There was a buffalograss plot and a tall fescue plot. The treatments had two mowing heights of 5.08 cm (low) and 7.62 cm (high). The treatment frequencies included a ¼, ⅓, and ½ removal philosophy and a weekly, monthly, semi-annual, and annual time based removal. Clippings were collected and weighed each time plots were mowed. Measuring of the turf involved using the disk method. Measurements were taken 3 times a week and quality scorings were taken weekly. The 5 year study (2014-2015) showed that the height philosophy rules are favorable. The weekly philosophy had the most mowing events and the highest quality. The removal philosophies had lower mowing events but quality varied between treatments. Scalpings were seen in treatments that were mowed annually, semiannually, and the ¼ low height. Therefore the mowing height and frequency has a large impact on the quality and number of mowing events." |
