| Question: | "We get dark green dots on our putting greens for several weeks after core aeration. What causes this condition and what can we do about it?" |
|---|
| Source of Question: | Nevada |

| Answer/Response: | "The green dots are usually a sign that you have excessive thatch and organic matter accumulation at the surface of your greens. Air and water movement through the aeration holes is better compared to the surrounding areas, producing darker, healthier turf over the aeration holes. Consider accelerating the rate and frequency of aeration and topdressing over the next year to amend the surface. Also, be sure to fill the aeration holes completely to the surface with sand topdressing to obtain the maximum benefits from your aeration treatments and keep the aeration channels open to the surface." |
