| Abstract/Contents: | Examines many different cultivars, blends and mixtures of grasses to determine their best features when used for overseeding bermudagrass fairways. Results indicate perennial ryegrasses work well when used for overseeding. Reports that Poa trivialis is useful in overseeding fairways because of its small seed size allowing for contact with soil but has slow establishment and inconistent results especially when dealing with heat or disease. States that perennial ryegrass and Poa trivialis mixtures do not work as well as cultivars and results in a lower quality turf. Suggests that since results of experiments in different areas differed so much, management must take a role in establishment and transition. States that "intermediate ryegrasses may be useful in fairway overseeding if the goal is an earlier transition" but this will depend on whether the grass is "closer to being a perennial than an annual". Reports that the weather order is important to determine the ease of passage from overseeded grass to bermudagrass. States that "the higher the quality of the overseeding early in fall, the more overseeding present in spring, along with reduced bermudagrass cover" whereas "the lower the quality of overseeding in fall, the less overseeding present in spring, often leading to a better spring transition". |
