| Abstract/Contents: | "The objective of this study was to determine if tarp color had any effect on turf growth and appearnace. Different colored tarps made from vinyl-coated polyester or polyethylene were used to cover 'Midnight' Poa pratensis during the winter (November to March) or spring (March to April). Enkamat and Evergreen covers, along with a non-covered control, were included for comparison with the different colored tarps. Grass was evaluated for color, growth, and percent cover. Tarp color had a significant effect on turf color, growth, and ultimately the amount of turf cover after injured turf recovered. The effect of tarp color on turf performance follows the general ranking from best to worst; red, yellow, orange > white, purple, light-blue, blue > gray/white, light-green, dark-green, white/black, black/white. There was a strong correlation (r=0.78 to 0.99) between turf color and photosynthetic photon flux density for both the vinyl and polyethylene materials. Winter covering produced less injury than spring covering, especially for the light-green, dark-green black/white, and white/black tarps. More investigation is needed to determine if tarp color has any effect on turf performance when coverd for shorter intervals and under warmer conditions during the summer." |
