| Abstract/Contents: | "Electrophoretic analysis of isozyme banding patterns from samples collected from two inter-seeding locations is providing, through close cooperation with Drs. M. C. Engelke and Ikuko Yamamoto, the necessary information to determine population changes. Analysis of samples collected from the TAMU-REC at Dallas location 6 and 14 months after inter-seeding indicate that Crenshaw contributed from about 10 to 95% of the plant population. Analysis of samples collected from the Dallas Country Club location 4 weeks after interseeding indicated, based on plant density counts, successful emergence of Crenshaw in an existing Penncross bentgrass putting green and was superior to emergence observed in spring 1995 inter-seedings at the TAMU-REC at Dallas location. Mechanical treatments had minimal effect on seedling emergence. Isozyme analysis of samples collected from the Dallas Country Club location 6 months after inter-seeding indicate that, overall, Crenshaw contributed less than 10% of the plant population. Water management during the extremely dry fall and winter of 1995 and 1996 probably contributed to very low percentages of Crenshaw in the population at the Dallas Country Club location. Selection of maternal clones and populations to assess mechanisms of stress resistance has progressed with the assistance and close cooperation of Dr. Milt Engelke. Initial stress tolerance of maternal clones was completed in fall 1995. Progeny were obtained and increased to assess progeny response and established in parent/progent tests in January 1996. Disease problems occurred in the initial parent/progeny plantings and through the summer of 1996. Parent progeny tests were reestablished during fall 1996 and are progressing but behind schedule. Studies to determine the effects of blending bentgrass cultivars on bentgrass putting green turf quality, disease resistance, and performance were established at the Turfgrass Field Laboratory in College Station, Texas during the fall 1995. A severe thunderstorm caused soil and seed movement and cross-contamination of treatments. These blending experiments are being reestablished on a newly constructed 25,000 square foot golf green in College Station. This concept is extensively use for other cool-season grasses, but has not been reported for creeping bentgrass." |
