USGA Summary Points:Tifeagle and/or Floradwarf provided the highest turfgrass quality during summer stress months in south Florida. Nitrogen rate and more frequent verticutting provided higher turfgrass quality early in summer. Weekly topdressing provided higher turfgrass quality. Higher disease (melting out/decline) ratings were noted during the summer for Champion and on some dates Floradwarf compared to Tifeagle. There was less disease (melting out/decline) noted for the middle N rate. More frequent verticutting resulted in higher disease (melting out/decline) ratings while one frequent topdressing resulted in lower ratings. Floradwarf had more fairy rings. More frequent verticutting decreased fairy rings while more frequent topdressing increased fairy ring ratings. Champion had higher turfgrass quality than Floradwarf on both rating dates and higher turfgrass quality than Tifeagle one rating date during the winter, 2001. Increased N improved turfgrass quality in winter ratings, and it was determined that low N did not provide acceptable year-round quality turfgrass. Verticutting frequency did not affect turfgrass quality in winter, while more frequent topdressing slightly improved winter turfgrass quality. Less frequent verticutting resulted in greater shoot counts for Floradwarf and Champion, while TifEagle shoot counts were unaffected by verticutting frequency. N resulted in slightly greater shoot counts. Thatchmeter measurements were higher for Champion and for the greater N rate.
