| Question: | ""How low can ultradwarf bermudagrass be mowed?"" |
|---|
| Source of Question: | Florida |
|---|
| Answer/Response: | ""As part of the selection process with the ultradwarfs, the ability to tolerate a height of cut (HOC) of 0.125 inch was one of the criteria. Since their introduction, heights of cut as low as 0.085 inch have been maintained at a few courses. Golfer demands for faster putting speeds have forced some superintendents to push the envelope as far as heights of cut. Also, egos can get in the way of sound agronomy when it comes to mowing heights. Discretion and good common sense still need to be exercised. When environmental conditions are favorable to sustain active growth, the ultradwarfs can be successfully maintained at a HOC in the range of 0.110 to 0.125 inch. During periods of adverse weather and in particular low sunlight intensity, an elevated HOC should be practiced."" |
