| Abstract/Contents: | "Poa annua has been an increasing problem on Agrostis stolonifera L. putting greens, especially with the lowering of the mowing height into the 2.5 to 3.8 mm range. Recently a number of new A. stolonifera cultivars have been released for use on putting greens. This investigation assessed the relative competitive ability for mature plants of 13 Agrostis stolonifera cultivars to Poa annua L. under very closely mowed putting green cultural regime of 3.2 mm. The relative competitive ability was assessed by the transplanting of mature monostands of P. annua into mature turfs of each of the 13 replicated A. stolonifera cultivars. Four A. stolonifera cultivars ranked superior in competitiveness with P. annua, including Penn G2, Penn G6, Seaside II and Penn A1. Ranking lowest in aggressiveness under the closely mowed conditions were Penncross and Pennlinks. Those A. stolonifera cultivars sustaining shoot densities above 2000 dm-2 usually exhibited the most vegetative competitiveness in suppressing the P. annua content in polystands. These findings suggest that significant cultural control of P. annua can be accomplished on closely mowed putting greens by the selection of certain A. stolonifera cultivars that can sustain very high shoot densities under close mowing." |
