Abstract/Contents: | "Plant growth regulator (PGR) applications are a common practice in managing ultradwarf bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. Œ C. transvaalensis Burtt-Davy] putting greens. Trinexapac-ethyl (TE) is a frequently used PGR to reduce the rapid shoot growth that could reduce ball roll distance (BRD) and increase turfgrass quality. Lightweight rolling (LWR) of putting greens is a practice implemented to sustain or increase BRD. The objective of this research was to determine effects of weekly TE applications and LWR on the BRD and turfgrass quality of an ultradwarf bermudagrass putting green. Experiments were conducted in Knoxville, TN, and Starkville, MS, on a MiniVerde ultradwarf bermudagrass putting green. Trinexapac-ethyl treatments included 0, 0.008, 0.024, or 0.072 lb a.i. acre-1 wk-1 and LWR five times per week. Ball roll distance was measured with a Pelzmeter in 2016 and a Stimpmeter in 2017. Turfgrass quality was visually assessed at both locations on a 1 to 9 scale, with ratings of ≥ 6 being acceptable. At both locations, the BRDs of plots treated with 0.024 lb TE acre-1 wk-1 with LWR were only 5 inch less than 0.072 lb TE acre-1 wk-1 without LWR, a difference that is likely to be imperceptible to golfers. In addition, TE applied at 0.024 lb a.i. acre-1 wk-1 consistently yielded greater turfgrass quality than 0.072 lb TE acre-1 wk-1. Implementing LWR practices with TE application rates at 0.024 lb acre-1 wk-1 can provide similar BRD and increased turfgrass quality as TE applied at 0.072 lb acre-1 wk-1 without LWR." |
