| Abstract/Contents: | "During the past 40 years, creeping bentgrass putting greens have most commonly been established using the standard cultivar, `Penncross'. While this variety is widely adapted, the development of more heat- and disease-tolerant bentgrasses, as well as increasing interest in converting hybrid bermudagrass greens to bentgrass, has led to many new bentgrass cultivars being established in the Southeastern United States. This field study at two locations (open or restricted air movement) in North Carolina evaluated 20 bentgrass cultivars, and at one location tested these cultivars at two mowing heights (3.2 or 4.0 mm) with or without preventative fungicide application. Cultivars were rated for visual turfgrass quality, visual density, lateral spread, and disease resistance. Actual plant density and root mass were also determined. Time of year, mowing height, fungicide program and trial location significantly influenced turfgrass quality. Under restricted air movement, the newer bentgrass cultivars `A-1', `A-4', `G-2', `G-6', `Crenshaw', `L-93', and `Southshore' showed consistently better turfgrass quality than Penncross when fungicides were applied. Lateral spread and root mass did not vary significantly among cultivars at the 3.2 mm mowing height; however, Crenshaw produced significantly more roots than Penncross when mown at 4.0 mm. No cultivar experienced significantly less dollar spot than Penncross; however, several cultivars showed significantly less brown patch and algae compared to Penncross. This cultivar evaluation demonstrated that several improved bentgrasses have characteristics superior to Penncross that make them better suited to the environmental conditions in North Carolina." |
