Abstract/Contents: | Provides pros and cons of using Poa trivialis (rough-stalk bluegrass) on a golf course. Discusses advantages such as shade resistance, putting surface superiority, and easy establishment. Gives suggestions for overseeding Poa trivialis (procedure, timetable, seed size considerations, and seeding rates). Focuses on spring transition, and its ease of transition compared to ryegrass. Describes disadvantages of Poa trivialis, such as difficulty of seed cleaning, patchy turf caused by Poa trivialis spreading, lack of selective control, and inadequate seed analyses. Recommends several methods of obtaining seed that is not contaminated with Poa trivialis. Emphasizes that infestation can be caused from a number of sources other than seed contamination. Briefly mentions control options. |
