Fairway Height Bentgrass Cultivar Trial

Authors: Nick Christians (Iowa State University) , Dan Strey (Iowa State University)

Abstract

This is the first year of data collection from the fairway height bentgrass trial established in the fall of 2014. The area was maintained at a 0.5 in. mowing height. This is a National Turfgrass Evaluation (NTEP) trial and is being conducted at several research stations in the United States. It contains 17 of the newest cultivars and a number of experimental cultivars. The cultivars are maintained with 4 lb of N/1,000 ft² per growing season. Fungicides are used as needed in a preventive program. Herbicides and insecticides also are applied as needed.
