Abstract/Contents:SUMMARY: "Several generalizations can be made regarding mowing practices. Mowing under any circumstances is a stress. Low, frequent mowing generally yields attractive turf that is under a high level of stress. Higher, less frequent mowing (within the optimum range) will yield healthier turf able to tolerate greater stress in terms of temperature, drought, etc. Mowing above the optimum height range will often result in poor turf quality. Mowing below the optimum range will generally lead to increased invasion by weedy species. Optimum frequency for mowing still appears to be that which will remove no more than 40% of the total leaf surface area of the turf. Infrequent, severe defoliation results in a depletion of carbohydrate reserves and temporary stoppage or even dieback of roots." Includes a table of optimum recovery mowing height ranges.
