| Abstract/Contents: | Summarizes research which "will help answer questions regarding the effects of different management practices on putting greens with different soil types." The research uses "three root zone mixes: an 80:20 (sand:peat) mixture built to USGA recommendations, an 80:10:10 (sand:soil:peat) mixture built with subsurface drainage tile; and an unamended sandy clay loam textured (58% sand, 20.5% silt, 21.5% clay) 'push-up' style green ... A rolling factor was split across each soil type and rolling was applied three times a week. The PGR's used were foliar-absorbed trinexapac-ethyl (Primo) and root-absorbed flurprimidol (Cutless)." Results showed that rolling and PGRs both improved stimpmeter readings. "At the beginning of the season the native soil plots produced the highes color ratings while the USGA was the worst. Cutless produced lower color ratings than Primo and the check plots throughout both seasons. Thatch weights in naitve soil plots were significantly lower than in USGA and 80:10:10 plots." |
