| Abstract/Contents: | Explains that "winter damage to annual bluegrass greens can be due to a number of factors including reduced levels of cold hardiness compared to creeping bentgrass, early dehardening in the spring, reduced cold hardiness associated with crown hydration and mortality under ice cover." States that "a number of factors can induce cold hardening including low temperature, shorter day length, reduced soil and plant moisture and plant nutrition." Discusses that "while annual bluegrass is not able to attain the same level of cold hardiness as creeping bentgrass, an additional problem is that annual bluegrass can deharden earlier in the spring, making it more susceptible to a late spring frost" and explains that "one way to protect greens from winter injury in the late winter is to maintain a snow cover as long as possible." Concludes that "annual bluegrass is much less tolerant than creeping bentgrass of cold temperatures and is particularly susceptible to injury when covered by ice for a prolonged period." |
