Abstract/Contents:"Interseeding in the early spring is utilized in Atlantic Canada in an attempt to either introduce new cultivars into and/or enhance the creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) population in existing golf course turf. The objective of this study was to investigate creeping bentgrass plant establishment in inter- and over-seeding conditions under simulated conditions. Discs of cv. `Penncross' (10 cm diam.) were removed from an existing turf green and transplanted into 12.5 cm diam. pots in the greenhouse. Drought stress was imposed in the growth cabinet to reduce turf competitiveness. After drought treatment, the turf in pots was deemed either live or dead. Four 1.9 cm aeration holes were made into each pot to a depth of 4 cm. Holes were filled with a sand medium. Eight seeds pot-1 of cv. `L-93' creeping bentgrass were placed equally into each hole. Spring day length and temperature conditions for Atlantic Canada were simulated. Live turf competition resulted in reduced plant establishment and survival. Competition from live turf reduced tiller plant-1 by ≥ 90%, dry weight plant-1 by ≥ 95% and dry weight tiller-1 by ≥ 60% compared to non-competitive treatments. Tillering was delayed by over 7 days in live turf. Live turf competition resulted in significantly reduced leaf succession rates. The use of interseeding was not successful in adequately establishing new plants from seed in existing turf."
