Abstract/Contents:Describes how to use an inexpensive miniature greenhouse to test the health of bermudagrass from dormant putting greens. Explains that by using this method, the superintendent can avoid the anxiety of spending the winter "worrying whether or not the bermudagrass is going to 'wake up' in the spring." States that "by collecting and growing out plugs removed from dormant putting greens, the superintendent can better predict the health of the turf...The miniature greenhouse creates a warm, humid environment that is perfect for promoting disease activity, and so it can be helpful in disease identification. Also, by allowing the turf to grow longer, one can better observe the various biotypes of grasses present in older greens."
