Abstract/Contents: | Discusses a report of a trial that concluded "couch grasses, particularly Legend couch, are the best for low-input golf-course fairways." States that "not only did they survive well, their fairway quality was generally excellent. The common couch selection, Legend, and the hybrid couch cultivar, Santa Ana, provided the best combination of excellent fairway quality, drought tolerance, short winter dormancy, good competitiveness against weeds and suitability to either a pure couch situation or a two-grass fairway." |
