| Abstract/Contents: | "Poa annua L. is a common invader of golf course turf in northern climates where it persists under all intensities of management. Even though Poa annua L. exhibits life histories ranging from true annual to perennial, it is commonly believed to exist in highly maintained golf turf in northern climates as a perennial. Differences in management practices for putting greens, fairways and roughs and the resulting variation in growing conditions impose very different selection pressures. As a result Poa annua L. appears to exist in these environments as different biotypes on an r-selection (density independent) to K-selection (density dependent) life history continuum. In this study of Poa annua L. selections from an 80 year old golf course in Minnesota, biotypes from the putting green exhibited traits more toward the r-selected end of the continuum including a shorter pre-reproductive period, less vegetative growth, higher reproductive effort, and higher volumes of smaller seed than the biotypes from the fairway or rough. The distinction between fairway and rough selections was less clear although both exhibited traits more consistent with K-selection including a longer prereproductive period, larger vegetative biomass with a more stoloniferous growth habit, lower reproductive effort and fewer but larger seeds produced per plant." |
