| USGA Summary Points: | As seen in Year 1, 'Tifeagle' and 'Mini-Verde' experienced less winter injury and better spring greenup than 'Champion' (Figures 2 and 3, Photo 2). Uncovered plots of all cultivars experienced complete winterkill (Figure 3, Photo 2). The use of protective covers enhanced spring green-up and recovery for all cultivars and there were minimal differences in any of the cover treatments (Figure 3, Photo 2). A late season wetting agent application did not affect spring green-up of ultradwarf greens in Year 2 (data not shown), but would still be recommended as a precaution again winter desiccation. Using lower temperature thresholds to place covers significantly reduced the number of covering events that occurred in 2017 and resulted in more days that the course would have been open for play (Table 1). These reductions could potentially save thousands of dollars in labor costs for a golf course each year and increase revenue by keeping the course open for play on more days in the winter season (Table 1). |
