Abstract/Contents: | Presents an experiment to "assess the competitive ability of selected greens-type annual bluegrasses from Dr. David Huff's breeding program in communities with creeping bentgrasses...Beginning in 1999, the bentgrass plots were divided in half, with one mowed at 7/16th inch, simulating fairway culture, and the other at 1/8th inch, simulating greens culture." Results include "at the higher (7/16th inch) mowing height, most annual bluegrass selections essentially disappeared, reflecting the superior competitive ability of the creeping bentgrass at that height. At the lower (1/8th inch) height, the annual bluegrasses generally increased in size; however, they appeared to retreat somewhat during the summer months while expanding during the winter portion of the year." Also states "some wild populations of annual bluegrass (P. annua L. var annua Timm) were observed in small patches following colonization of voids in the creeping bentgrass turf resulting from earlier disease incidence or mechanical injury. None of these patches occurred within any of the greens-type annual bluegrass selections, suggesting that these selections resisted their invasion more effectively than did the bentgrasses." |
