Abstract/Contents:"During late spring and early summer, perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) produces reproductive structures (i.e., culm and inflorescence), that decrease turf quality due to stemminess (i.e., culm remaining) after mowing. Research is required to understand the impact of management practices on visible culm and inflorescence presence. Field experiments were conducted to evaluate perennial ryegrass culm, inflorescence, and turf canopy responses due to various nitrogen (N) fertilization levels, scalping timings and heights. In Experiment 1, N fertilization rates ā‰„24 kg N ha-1 applied in early May with a slow-release fertilizer prior to peak flowering (i.e., late May to early June) visibly decreased culms and inflorescences compared with 0 and 12 kg N ha-1 . Higher N fertilizer levels, especially 98 kg N ha-1 , also resulted in fewer necrotic culms remaining later in the summer along with greater overall turf quality and reduced weed cover. In Experiment 2, scalping perennial ryegrass at 3.8 or 5.1 cm on 25 May, the closest proximity prior to peak flowering, provided the lowest area under the curve (AUC) of green flowering culms. Scalping during or after peak flowering resulted in similar AUC values compared with nonscalped (7.6 cm) turf but did decrease the presence of necrotic culms later in summer to help improve turf quality. Overall, N fertility with a slow-release fertilizer or a well-timed scalping influences spring culm and inflorescence density and necrotic culm stemminess in perennial ryegrass turf systems. Additional research on physiological responses, such as carbohydrate partitioning, to these management practices is required."
