| Abstract/Contents: | "Bentgrass cultivar characterization were initiated in May of 1992 under putting green conditions at the Torino Golf Club. The experimental area was a well drained, high-sand root zone. This progress report represents the assessments made during the second full growing season of a four-year study. The findings reveal substantial variations in turfgrass quality and morphological characteristics of 17 bentgrass cultivars. Ranking high in turfgrass quality were Southshore, Penneagle, Putter, Providence and Pennlinks, followed by Cobra and Penncross. Both Astoria and Seaside were totally unacceptable. Southore, Pennlinks, Providence and SR 1020 exhibited the highest shoot density, as well as being low in proneness to moss invasion. Ranking even higher than any of the commercially available bentgrass cultivars were several PSU experimental selections. These investigations will be continued for two more years before the final conclusion can be drawn." |
