Abstract/Contents:"It is apparent that sigificant advances have been made regarding bentgrass breeding in the U.S. within the past several years. Now, a golf course and/or lawn bowling manager has several improved creeping bentgrass varieties available. Under the conditions of this study, varieties 'SR1020', 'Cobra', and 'Pro/Cup' all rated high for overall quality and least Poa annua invasion when grown in either sand or soil. Varieties TAMU 88-1, MSCB-8, 'Putter' and 'Regent' grown in sand, and varieties 'Pennlinks', 88.CBL, 'Carmen', and 'Providence' grown in soil, and maintained as golf greens, also ranked high for overall quality and least P. annua invasion. In general, P. annua invaded creeping bentgrass less than other bentgrass species when grown in either sand or soil and maintained as golf green or tee/fairway. P. annua was more severe in plots maintained as golf green (mowed at 5/32 inch), grown on either sand or soil, than in plots maintained as golf tee/fairway (mowed at 5/8 inch). Although no significant differences were observed, thatch tended to accumulate more in creeping bentgrass than in other bentgrass species when grown in soil and maintained as either golf green or tee/fairway. This trend was not observed under sand green management. The results of this study should assist golf course superintendents and managers of lawn bowling greens and tennis and croquet courts in selecting the most suitable creeping bentgrass variety for their specific needs."
