| Question: | "We have just converted our greens to ultradwarf bermudagrass and are utilizing three aerifications per year with one-inch center spacings. It has worked wonderfully for us, but timing during the playing season is a concern. Do you recommend a late summer aerification as one of our timings?" |

| Answer/Response: | "Absolutely! A late summer aerification on bermudagrass greens gives excellent agronomic benefits and healthier turf for the upcoming fall. Later summer/early fall is a time of increased heat, humidity, and rain showers. These add to disease pressure as the bermudagrass is hardening off for winter. Late summer aerification greatly reduces the tendency for disease problems through a development of roots and rhizomes at summer's end." |
