Question

While inspecting the intermediate rough of Kentucky bluegrass along a newly established Kentucky bluegrass fairway, you notice several important differences between the fairway and rough turfs maintained at mowing heights of one and two inches, respectively. After using your knife to extract samples from these turfs, you notice some additional differences in visual and functional quality. What are these differences the implications with respect to the cultural requirements of these turfs? Finally, as some of the fairway turf exhibits a wavy (washboard) pattern with the ridges running perpendicular to the direction of mowing, what does this indicate (be sure to explain its mathematical basis and influence on turf quality)?

Explanation / Answer

1

1.ONE THIRD OF HEIGHT SHOULD BE MOWED

2.WEEDS WILL BE MORE IN THE ONE INCH MOWED TURF BECAUSE OF THE EASE OF THE ACCESS OF THE SUNLIGHT.SO WEEDS WILL HAVE TOBE CHECKED

DIFFERENCES THE IMPLECATIONS WITH RESPECT TO CULTURAL REQUIREMENTS OF FAIR AND ROUGH TURF

1.ONE THIRD OF HEIGHT SHOULD BE MOWED

2.WEEDS WILL BE MORE IN THE ONE INCH MOWED TURF BECAUSE OF THE EASE OF THE ACCESS OF THE SUNLIGHT.SO WEEDS WILL HAVE TOBE CHECKED

2 wavy (washboard) pattern with the ridges running perpendicular to the direction of mowing DUE TO UNDULATIONS ALONG THE RIDGES THE MOWER HAS TO ENCIRCLE THE UNDULATIONS AND HAS TO DO OPPOSSITE IN THE FURROWS WHICH GIVES WAVY LIKE APPEARANCE ALONG RIDGES
