| Abstract/Contents: | "As ultradwarf bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon [L.] Pers. × C. trans-vaalensis Burtt-Davy) is used on putting greens in more northern locations, there is increased risk of sustaining winter injury from desiccation and low-temperature exposure. During the winter, installation and removal of protective covers can be costly and labor intensive. This research aims to define a predicted low-tem-perature threshold when covering an ultradwarf bermudagrass putting green becomes necessary, and to quantify the effects of a late-fall wetting agent application on winter survival of ultradwarf bermudagrass. Research was conducted over three winters (2015-2018) in Fayetteville, AR on a sand-based putting green established to 'Champion', 'MiniVerde', and 'TifEagle' bermudagrass cultivars. Covering treatments were placed on the green at forecasted low-temperature thresholds of 15, 18, 22, and 25 °F and were compared with an uncovered control. A single late-fall wetting agent applica-tion was applied to each cultivar × cover treatment. The wetting agent occasionally enhanced spring green-up, but this effect was inconsistent across seasons. Winter injury to the cultivar 'Champion' was greater than 'TifEagle' and 'MiniVerde'. Plots receiving cover treatments, regardless of covering temperature, achieved faster spring green-up than the uncovered control. Differences in green turf coverage between cover treatments were detected; although, those differences were not considered to be of practical importance. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the predicted low-temperature threshold for covering greens without a significant increase in winter injury, resulting in reduced golf course labor costs and increased potential revenue with more days open for play" |
