| Abstract/Contents: | "This study was intiated in 1993 to examine the performance of new creeping bentgrass cultivars on golf course greens in the warm, humid climate of Atlanta, Georgia, USA. A golf green was built according to USGA specifications in a low, full-sun area, purposefully situated to restrict air movement. Twenty-eight bentgrass entries and five experimental blends were subjected to an intensive putting green management scheme typical of championship-quality golf courses in the southeastern US. Cultivar characteristics evaluated in this study included visual shoot quality, soil organic matter/thatch accumulation, wear tolerance, and uniformity. Overall, performance of the cultivars varied greatly. Entries consistently demonstrating high quality during extended periods of heat stress were A-1 and Crenshaw. Cultivars in the second group were a Crenshaw + Cato blend, one of two L-93 (A 93A5) entries, G-6, Imperial, Century, and Backspin. These results supported the idea that the additional stress during the summer and poor air circulation provided new bentgrass cultivar performance information. If summer heat stress is not a major issue and annual performance is more important then A-1 was the best followed by G-2 or G-6. Significant differences in organic matter accumulation between cultivars were prevalent both in 1997 and 1999. Organic matter accumulation in A-1, G-2, and Crenshaw was in the highest statistical group both years." |
