| Abstract/Contents: | "The practice of overseeding into existing creeping bentgrass turf (Agrostis stolonifera L.) is common in turfgrass management on golf courses. Recent reports indicate that few bentgrass plants successfully establish in an existing bentgrass turf. This study examined the status (active growth versus rought weakened) of the bentgrass turf on overseeding success of creeping bentgrass and annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.). Turfgrass discs were removed from an existing bentgrass (cv. Penncross) golf green and transplanted into the greenhouse. After 2 wk of growth, one half of the pots were drought stressed for 3 wk. Pots were manually clipped at 6 cm. After 3 wk, four 18-cm core aeration holes were made in each pot. The aeration holes were filled with the same media as in the pots, and two seeds were placed into each aeration hole, for a total of eight seeds potā»Ā¹. Each pot had either creeping bentgrass cv. L-93 or a line of P. annua L. Pots were placed into a growth cabinet with temperatures and day lengths to simulate spring conditions. Emergence, growth were monitored for 35 d after seeding and plant dry weights were measured. Creeping bentgrass showed greater plant mortality and reduced plant growth when seeded into the live turf. No creeping bentgrass plant in the live turf produced a single tiller. P. annua L. demonstrated reduced growth and fewer tillers under live turf conditions. The practice of overseeding creeping bentgrass into an existing creeping bentgrass into an existing creeping bentgrass turf is not recommended if sufficient live turfgrass cover exists." |
