Abstract/Contents:"Several Agrostis cultivars were assessed in terms of turfgrass quality, shoot density, leaf width, Poa annua invasion, and moss invasion when maintained under extraordinarily close mowing on a putting green in a Mediterranean climate. Four recently released Agrostis stolonifera cultivars, Penn G-1, A-1, G-6, and G-2 had a higher turfgrass quality and shoot density and a lower leaf width and degree of Poa annua and moss invasion after 5+ years of assessments. Four Agrostis cultivars, National, Emerald, Seaside, and Astoria provided unacceptable turfgrass quality and shoot density for golf putting greens. After the cutting height was lowered from 4.8 to 4.0 mm and the nitrogen nutritional level raised at the end of the 1994 season, there was a general increase in shot density and a decrease in leaf width of most Agrostis cultivars. Generally, those cultivars with higher shoot densities exhibited the least proneness to Poa annua and moss invasion. In the case of Poa annua invasion there tended to be a general increase over the years 1995 through 1997, particularly in the case of the lower shoot density cultivars. In contrast, the moss invasion did not exhibit an increasing trend over time, but rather varied from year to year and from cultivar to cultivar, which suggests that the variations were more a response to climatic conditions. There also was a[n] intra-seasonal variation in extent of moss coverage, with the peak occurring in June."
