Abstract/Contents: | "Seedhead production of annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.) during the spring reduces annual bluegrass root production and disrupts the aesthetic and playing qualities of the turf. A method of predicting when annual bluegrass seedheads visually emerge through maximum production would be a benefit to turf managers in that management practices such as vertical mowing and core cultivation could be suitably adjusted. A model to predict the number of seedheads from visual emergence through maximum production for a perennial annual bluegrass turf was developed from three field locations in Michigan. The proposed model is seedhead no. = - 6249.4 + 41.099 (DD) - 0.08573 DD2 + 0.0000575 DD3 where DD = degree-day accumulation above 286 K beginning April (R2 = 0.65)." |
