| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the management of Poa on golf greens. Also gives information on the many types of Poa that exist on greens. Management practices for the many different types of, Poa greens are discussed. Mowing and mowing heights are important factors in the growth of, since Poa greens the Poa doesn't grow as tall as most other grasses. Vertical mowing is also needed to reduce puffiness and shoot density and give a better putting surface. When fertilizing liquid fertilizers are recommended to prevent freckling from the greater shoot densities. Anthracnose is a big threat on Poa greens and needs to be accounted for in management programs. Irrigating Poa is best with light frequent applications, but most close-cut greens require extensive hand watering which is hard on the budget. Until recently breeders did not produce a ccommercially acceptable Poa seed for overseeding so bentgrass was used in overseeding Poa greens as a nurse crop. PGR's have been develoed to reduce the amount of seed head that occurs on the surface of Poa greens and hinders the putting surface. |
