Abstract/Contents: | Evaluates the effects of vertical mowing on kikuyugrass with and without sports traffic. "There is no advantage to vertical mowing kikuyugrass turf more than three times per season ... increasing vertical mowing frequency will further reduce kikuyugrass turf biomass resulting in an increase in surface hardness. Traffic appears to reduce turf biomass so vertical mowing may not be required where traffic is significant." |
