Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the increase in Poa annua on Wisconsin golf greens because of a mild winter. Describes several different methods of Poa annua control that superintendents use, but states that "Poa annua thrives in a green for a reason. It may be compaction, poor drainage, shade, poor air circulation, poor bentgrass management, or simply natural overseeding pressure from seed being constantly tracked onto the putting surface from the fairways and roughs. Try to force more bentgrass to grow in a poorly drained, shaded site and even if you temporarily succeed, the quality of the turf and the playing surface will be unacceptable." |
