Abstract/Contents: | "Annual bluegrass (Poa annua L. ssp. annua) is a major weed problem of golf course turf. There have been no studies conducted in Maryland to monitor the seasonal emergence patterns of annual bluegrass. Annual bluegrass seedling emergence was monitored in a bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon [L.] Pers.) rough at the University of Maryland Golf Club in College Park between 1999 and 2003 and at Woodmont Country Club in Rockville, MD between 2002 and 2003. In August or September of 1999 to 2002, four circular spots approximately 0.09 m2 in area were killed with glyphosate. Annual bluegrass seedlings were counted and removed weekly from inside each spot between September and May of each year. During this period, an average of 431 seedlings 0.09 m-2 year-1 germinated. Between 1999 and 2002, the majority of annual bluegrass seedlings (63 to 78%) emerged between September and mid-October and 90% of the total seedlings emerged by early-December. Annual bluegrass seedlings emerged in small numbers between December and May in all three years. In the final year (2002 to 2003), peak annual bluegrass germination at both locations occured between early-October and mid-November (64 to 68%), but 90% germination was not reached until March 2003. Each year, annual bluegrass germination within each of the four monitored spots varied greatly. During the first three years, however, year to year variation was insignificant. An early frost and colder than normal temperatures between autumn 2002 and winter 2003 may have contributed to a lower level of germination in the autumn and the extended germination period of annual bluegrass into March 2003." |
