| Abstract/Contents: | "Velvet bentgrass (Agrostis canina L.) is a fine-textured, high-density forming turfgrass ideal for golf course putting greens. Our objective was to evaluate the effect of N and Fe fertilizer, N:K2O ratio, and vertical mowing and topdressing on velvet bentgrass (VBG) performance on a silt loam soil and two sandy soils. Nitrogen was applied at 0 to 243 kg/ha/year in 1:1 and 1:2 N:K2O ratios. Surface cultivation treatments were: no treatment, topdressing only, and vertical mowing + topdressing. Turfgrass color, density, recovery from vertical mowing, and thatch depth were measured. Each increasing increment of N resulted in higher color scores and higher-density VBG. Lower N rates on silt loam soil produced better color and higher-density turf than the same N treatments on the sand soils. Thatch accumulation was not affected by treatments. Results indicated that VBG putting greens on sandy soils will require a minimum of 196 to 243 kg of N per ha/year to maintain adequate vigor, color, and density. Velvet bentgrass turf can be excellent quality with minimal intervention, however, VBG putting greens will require higher maintenance practices in some situations to meet high quality expectations." |
