| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study to "determine the performance, mowing tolerance, and pest resistance of fifteen experimental and commercially available bermudagrasses and one zoysiagrass on a golf green," and to "determine the effects of vertical mowing, topdressing, and nitrogen fertility on performance, thatch development, fall and spring overseeding transition, and turf quality of five dwarf bermudagrasses." Some of the results reported include: "New dwarf bermudagrass cultivars will require intensive culture to control thatch and to provide a true putting surface...Best performance overall for the dwarf bermudagrasses occurred at low to moderate nitrogen fertilization. Frequent, light topdressing improved quality over the long-term; however, infrequent heavy topdressing helped control thatch. Frequent light vertical mowing caused substantial reductions in turf quality for all cultivars except Tifdwarf." This three-year study began in 1998. |

| USGA Summary Points: | New dwarf bermudagrass cultivars will require intensive culture to control thatch and to provide a true putting surface. Closer mowing and the growth characteristics of the new dwarf bermudagrasses will likely require increased turf maintenance budgets. Bermudagrass decline became a serious problem for Floradwarf, then Champion, then TifEagle. Miniverde had slight sensitivity to bermudagrass decline in late 2000 (third year) and Tifdwarf only had slight symptons. Best performance overall for the dwarf bermudagrasses occurred at low to moderate nitrogen fertilization. Frequent, light topdressing improved quality over the long-term; however, infrequent heavy topdressing helped control thatch. Frequent light vertical mowing caused substantial reductions in turf quality for all cultivars except Tifdwarf. |
