| Abstract/Contents: | "A trial of Cotula species was established in July 1992 along with conventional bent/fescue areas. The Cotula was imported from New Zealand in two forms; C. dioica as turves which were shredded and C. maniototo as bulbils which were sown as for grass seed. Following 10 months establishment, ground cover and distance rolled data were collected throughout the bowling season of 1993. The two Cotula species were slower to establish than the bent/fescue but eventually produced a faster surface, even though all the plots were eventually mown at 3 mm. Green speed increased as cutting height was lowered to 3 mm, but this was only significant on the grass plots. The Cotulas were prone to weed infestation, and the C. maniototo suffered from disease which left the surface patchy and uneven. The distance rolled was significantly affected by antecedent rainfall, distances being reduced by high rainfall. This was not significant for C. maniototo, however, suggesting that bowling greens constructed using this species would not be significantly affected by rainfall. Management of Cotula proved very different to that of grass, but with practice it became easier and the C. maniototo in particular performed well." |
