| Question: | "Can zoysiagrass tees and fairways be core aerified in the spring as opposed to midsummer to avoid disruption during the peak golfing season?" |
|---|
| Source of Question: | Arkansas |

| Answer/Response: | "Although it is possible to aerify low-cut zoysiagrass in the spring (mid-May), the benefits of so doing are diminished, weed encroachment is encouraged, and recovery time is extended. This being the case, it would be best to continue aerifying tees and fairways during the latter half of July when cultivation of the soil improves the movement of water into the soil and zoysiagrass can quickly grow over the open holes, thus smothering weed invasion and minimizing recovery time." |
