Abstract/Contents: | Presents the 1998 NTEP bentgrass cultivar study to "determine adaptability of bentgrass cultivars to golf course fairways. Additionally, various other commonly recommended species were included for comparison." Results to date indicate that "the creeping bentgrass cultivars as a group are outperforming the colonial bentgrasses as well as the other species in the study. Grand Prix, Backspin, and Providence are among the top performers to date in this study. GolfStar is an Idaho bentgrass more suited for low maintenance conditions than the conditions used in this study. As expected, the Kentucky bluegrasses, perennial ryegrasses, and fine fescues are not performing well under the 7/16 inch mowing heights in this study. These grasses should be mowed at a minimum of 3/4 inch and preferably higher for the best chances of acceptable performance in a fairway setting." |
