| Abstract/Contents: | Seventeen Agrostis cultivars were assesed in terms of turfgrass quality, shoot density, leaf width, Poa annua invasion and moss invasion when maintained under extraordinarly close mowing on a putting green in a Mediterranean climate. Four recently released Agrostis stolonifera cultivars, Penn G1, A1, G6 and G2 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 assesments. Four Agrostis cultivars, National, Emerald, Seaside and Astoria provided unacceptable turfgrass quality and shoot density for putting greeens. After the cutting height was lowered from 4.8 to 4.0 mm and the nitrogen nutritional level raised at the end of 1994 season, there was a general increase in shoot density and a decrease leaf texture of most Agrostis cultivars. Generally, those cultivar with higher shoot densities exhibited the leaf pronenes 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 lower shoot density cultivars. In contrast, the moss invasion did not exhibit an increasing trend over time, but rather from year to year and from cultivar to cultivar, which suggests that the variations were more a response to climatic conditions. There also was an intra-seasonal variation in extent of moss coverage, with the peak occurring in June. |
